We wanted to love this place. Beautiful atmosphere and a nice menu, but the food was extremely lacking and service was mediocre. (Appeared to be short staffed) dinner for two people with drinks, an app, and a dessert to share with tip was nearly $200. I expect excellent food and service for that price, but was highly disappointed. To start, I ordered the passionfruit margarita, but they were out of that. I ended up getting a strawberry mango margarita which was okay. The sesame crusted tuna came out well done when we ordered it rare/ med rare. We informed the server who had the dish remade. The Tuna came out a second time cooked correctly, but lacked any flavor and desperately needed a sauce. Extremely dry. Meanwhile, I had already finished eating by the time my husband’s new dinner came out. I ordered the scallops. The scallops tasted good, but the mashed potatoes had no flavor. No salt and pepper on the table to add either. We decided to try dessert since we were still fairly hungry after our disappointing entrees. My keoke iced espresso cocktail was described as having a chocolate drizzle, which sounded yummy. It did not come with that. We also got the peanut butter chocolate cake, which was described on the menu to have whipped cream and berries. We were served a dry piece of cake with no whipped cream or berries. Our problems with the food and drinks being served inaccurately should have been rectified in the restaurant, yet we were offered no compensation. Overall a very disappointing dinner.

We were sitting outside, enjoying the view and the weather. We finished our meal and were contemplating dessert when management came over and rolled down the vinyl siding because someone who had just sat down complained they were cold. The temp immediately rose at least 10 degrees. The management did not care that we didn’t want the vinyl down-he was more concerned about the other customer who should have been moved inside. Our waitress was very apologetic but nothing she could do. Our view was gone and it was now too hot to sit there. We paid our bill and left immediately. We will not be back after being treated like that. Hope the other customer was worth it

We visited the restaurant. We were surprised that the wine was served in water glasses. Although there were wine glasses behind the bar, it was quite inconvenient. We accidentally spilled some on the table. To which the waitress who served us, Lacey G., did not even react. We wiped the table with the napkins that we had. They brought hot dishes. They did not remove the dirty soup plates. Until they made a remark: The service is disgusting!!! The food is quite tasty. I would hardly recommend my friends to come here, and only because of the service. We were left with an unpleasant impression and a ruined mood. I hope the manager will pay attention to our review. Thank you.

I’d say charging boats $15 to dock to eat regardless of size is a bit aggressive especially considering the resturant owns the marina. Never heard of paying to dock to eat/drink.

What a fantastic hidden gem in Chester CT. Lovely place inside a boat marina, gorgeous river view, relaxed nautical theme atmosphere. Almost reminiscent of the late Blue Oar. Small bar area, indoor tables and a big covered patio. Calamari was perfect, tomato burrata appetizer fresh and tasty, and a crispy delicious fig prosciutto flatbread. Very attentive staff. Bonus, they can accommodate gluten free, which is helpful for some of my family. 5 stars, will return to this establishment soon.
