I met a friend at the bar recentlyy and the service was horrible. We had to flag the bartenders for drinks and to order food. Funny thing is not every seat was filled at the bar and with 2 bartenders working, you would have thought the service would have been better. Needless to say, neither of us will be going back to this restaurant. SKIP - TOO MANY PLACES IN THE AREA WITH BETTER FOOD AND SERVICE!

My husband and I sat at the bar for lunch. Again, we got the last two seats! It has about 16 barstools and very cozy. The bartender was very kind and efficient and made me an awesome espresso martini. Michael had the Maine Lunch on tap. His fried haddock sandwich was tasty but the actual piece of fish should have been larger. He got the tail which was flat and small. The French fries and onion rings it came with were awesome. I had the muscles appetizer for my entree which was delicious and plentiful. The broth they came in was excellent. We saw there cheese pizza come out and it looked very good. Supposedly that's what they are known for! We will be back! :)

Food had no flavor very watery and buttery it looked like a big pile of oil. The last time I had this place was five years ago.And I had this problem.But I tried again where they said they were doing a remodel and that the food would be different.But it was not, it was the same thing, didn't even taste like chicken marsala. Also to get my food in the counter took forever. 🤦♀️

Food was great. Pizza was a standard bar size, hot and tasty. Lots of other Italian style foods looked yummy. One bad thing is bar area is on the small side and it gets really crowded on a Saturday afternoon around 5 530. People crowding around so that they can get your seats, made us very uncomfortable and felt confined, so we boxed up meals and left.

Came in recently for a late lunch, got the ravioli with meatball, was very good, husband got the eggplant parm, I really like this place and I like the atmosphere too, but, one of the servers was obviously at the end of her shift and rushed us terribly, someone should have taken over her table, and not rushed us, we won't be going in again at that time. Very disappointing.

My 6.5 year old daughter and I came for a girls dinner date night. Our server was phenomenal. We sat on the deck and looked out at the water. Will be back again.
