Friends and family have been visiting the Freight House for years. The setting is really quite charming: a converted riverside brick industrial building with rough-cut hardwood floors and high ceilings. They have a great outdoor patio that has an enjoyable St. Croix view. The service has historically been slow (and of varying quality) especially on the patio, but the food usually passable. Our most recent visit will probably be our last. \r

Our server was pleasant but, again, slower than molasses in January. Took over 10 minutes to get our party of four WATER. The menu seems to have been ""streamlined"", leaving us with a few appetizers, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and about 8 entrees. We ordered 2 burgers and 2 salads. The food arrived 30+ minutes later. My burger was burned and my fries (which I paid extra for) were soggy. A major disappointment, especially for the price. I noticed that none of my companions finished their meals, and believe me, we're all members of the ""Clean Plate Club"". My wife said the next day her salad was dreadful, but we were both too embarrassed to ask our friends how their meals were. \r

Total bill for 4 bad meals & non-alcoholic beverages = $70. Not a good equation. I'm not sure why this formerly enjoyable restaurant has allowed the kitchen to fall into such disrepair. All I know is I'm truly disappointed and won't return until they're under new management/ownership.
Pros: Ambiance, Waterfront views
Cons: Dreadful food (what more needs to be said?), SLOW service
