Went for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was pretty good except for the star of the show. The turkey was so salty it was inedible. The dressing was excellent, the mash potatoes were very good, as was cranberry sauce. But I'm guessing they bribed the turkey cause the turkey tasted like it was soaked in salt.

I'm giving 2 star review because I booked my Thanksgiving reservation in advance, when my husband & I showed up to the restaurant the hostess couldn't find my reservation for 2, had to kindly remind her I confirmed my reservation the day before. When we were seated, we served drinks and the 1st waitress took our order, a couple of minutes later the manager said our 1st waitress had to go home, so we had a new waitress, the 1st waitress apparently didn't take down our order so we had to reorder our food, reason for my 2 star review was the wait time for food and for our drinks to be refilled was super slow, the waitress never brought the bread she offered to our table, we asked for the desserts to be to go because we were full, they were brought to the table instead and had to wait for them to be boxed to go had to wait to get the check, we used to love coming here to eat...We will not be coming to dine at this restaurant again nor will be recommending our friends or family to do so either, please hire better hostess front of the house employees who have better customer service skills, and hire waitresses and waiters that are faster, this is the longest time we ever sat in a restaurant (almost 2 hours waiting for food) the service was so slow. I gave the food 5 stars because the food was delicious, compliments to the chef & kitchen staff. I chose this restaurant because it was close to the house since my husband has to work, and that we've been here before, not the same restaurant vibe as when we were here last time.

We had and pleasant time at the restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. The food is a bit salty and the pumpkin pie seems to have other additives besides the spices instead of just the pumpkin. We enjoyed the ambience nevertheless.
Good food selection and food tasted great. Amazing sunset views. Only downfall was the dirty blond hostess at the front told me she would tell my bf where we were seated after he returned and she didn't do that. So he waited not knowing we had seats.
First, I wanted to add another person in the beginning of November and was told to reschedule my reservation which was for three people but was seated at a table for four. All that evening our waitress Angie seem obligated to table one and neglected other tables. Everything we asked her for came after the fact. We didn't receive it in a proper timely manner and we had finished our dinner.
We went on Thanksgiving, and the joint was jumpin'! The staff was exceptional, especially given their high-pressure, holiday situation. We spent a very pleasant two hours over three courses at a table by the window facing the sunset over the marina. Recommend you do the same.
I ordered the traditional thanksgiving dinner and it was over the top amazing and there was so much food. I had plenty of leftovers too. can't wait to go back.
Our food was excellent; service was excellent. My only criticism is that the restaurant's website depicts boats in the harbor, which, had they been there, would have added to the ambiance, yet there were no boats...not the restaurants fault, but perhaps updated photos would more accurately represent the setting.
Do not order Thanksgiving Dinner there! The food had no aroma. The only great tasting food was the cranberry sauce. One of the chairs had a hole in the seat cushion. The food was cold. And my friend and I were seated at a table that was next to a railing that had water pitchers on it. So the waiters and waitresses would come there to get water refills. I had to sit next to my friend and she said everyone was stating at us. Who knew. I did get to see the sea gulls on the deserted Marina docks.

Took at least 15 minutes before anyone came to take drink order and only after we complained. Once we got a waiter, the service was very good.
I came here for dinner with friends to celebrate my birthday and we had the best time here! Food was amazing and the service we got from the older gentleman was so very helpful. He was sweet, kind, and funny and made our experience 10x better. Will definitely be visiting again!

My wife and I both had our favorite Horatio's fish dinner. ASIAGO CRUSTED SOLE Pan seared, jasmine rice, seasonal vegetables, buerre blanc, capers. It is so flavorful, not filling and the rice and veggies were match. Our server, Angie was so helpful. Since it was my birthday she served a complimentary Creme de Boule dessert. We also enjoy a window seat with nice views of the water and activities
