Rachel was super sweet and very helpful and attentive, the crew here was kind and friendly willing to help even if we weren't there table. 5/5The beet salad was definitely shareable dressing was alittle tart for my taste, but fresh, and beets cooked perfect. 4/5The crispy calamari filled its plate and the aoili was yummy. 5/5The fish and chips were ok, battered nicely but catfish a bit soft and mushy for my taste, however, we really enjoyed the fritz 3/5Ambiance is kept dim, but warm for 815pm. ??

We were asked to make a reservation by the receptionist, for dinner here, do we did. Party of two. When we arrived, we were seated right away. We shared a Ceviche plate for appetizer and it was bomb! We are big Ceviche snobs and theirs was surprisingly very delicious! Had Catfish and chips (minus the chips, added salad) and pasta with seafood (shrimp, scallops, and Salmon) for dinner. Both were delicious but I did not care for the salmon in the pasta. We stay in the corner and the view of the bay was beautiful! The restaurant was barely half full so I don't know why they required a reservation. Maybe they don't have enough staff. Anyways, we enjoyed our experience.

We were just there Saturday, brought our local bottle of wine to enjoy with delicious steamed clams, Caesar salad w a small side of perfectly grilled salmon.

We came in with a big group and unfortunately we were not pleased. Had a few people order steaks and rib eyes that were ordered medium/medium rare and they all came out cold and very rare. Other meals were okay but not worth the price. Our server tried his best but the food just does not match the price. On a Saturday at 7 the place was dead which I think shows how good the food was. Unfortunately will not be back.

Overall it was ok. Our waiter was friendly but the service was slow. We ordered the the steak frites and Mahi taco. The steak was good, but they forgot the Sriracha aioli on the taco.The beer battered fries are very good. Definitely recommended.For wine they have a $15 corkage fee which is waived for local wines.

The location, atmosphere, and service were all great. I thought the Mahi in my tacos was cooked well and very tasty, but the sauce on top was way too sweet for my taste. The chicken in our salad was dry and overdone. Also, the chocolate lava cake was really just a dry, semi-stale chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate syrup on top- not really what I expected from the name.Still definitely glad we ate here, and I think a few modifications would have made the meal great.

You can see the ocean so that's great!!! I am thinking that this restaurant has new owners because it's not how I remember. Prices high, food not so good. From the service I could already tell that the food wasn't going to be great so we kept it basic and it was still lacking. We had crab cakes, beet salad (lettuce old), fish tacos and burger which both had no flavor and had to ask for salt. Bummed because it's great location so it will stay busy with tourist. Hope they step up their game.

As mentioned in many other reviews, the service was very lacking timewise. It took a good 45 minutes to be served after ordering, and 20 minutes after our meal was finished to clear The table. The food was 50/50. the entrees - the Salmon and the Steak were both cooked nicely, but the Ceviche starter, the clam chowder and Fried Chicken Salad were all very sub-par - not restaurant quality. The steak was served on a bed of fries without any veg, so if you go that route you might want to add a salad. Just choose wisely, and have a couple of hours to spend if you choose to give it a whirl.

Absolutely horrible service, made an online reservation for 7:15 pm showed up on time was seated immediately. Sat at the table for 30 minutes not a single server acknowledged us. A large party was seated next to us and was immediately greeted by a server asking what they would like to drink and get their order. My wife and I got up and left on the way out a server said "have a good night thank you for coming" my wife told him we never got served we've been sitting there for 30 minutes. And his response was "oh sorry" he didn't even try to make it right. First and last time ever visiting here.

The ribeye and seafood stew are AMAZING! I eat out a lot and am often times disappointed, however this place has DELICIOUS food and I left super content! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because they don’t open sooner. :/ our server Zack was very welcoming and helpful. Will be returning for sure!
