Super cool spot. Sat at the bar, the bartender was great. She recommended the Perch which was great. Said the place has been around over 100 years. I imagine it's packed during peak season.

Tight quarters but still able to hold a conversation with each other and not feel intrusive. Started with an old fashion, not the best I've ever had but good and it looks great in a photo ?. We also had the buffalo wings which were delicious. The clam chowder was ok and just a little above room temperature.Hubby had the yellow belly perch with onion rings ands he thought it was very delicious, and I agree! I had the shrimp Mediterranean style and that was also wonderfully yummy.Service was very friendly and even with the busy restaurant she (I'm doing bad lately with names, sorry) did a great job keeping up with all tables.Prices are average with dinners around $20-$25. Since we came in the winter it didn't seem to be too busy, however the tables were always full but we got a table right away. Parking can be tight, especially if it gets real busy but if you find a spot...stay for a delicious meal.

Made a reservation on line because it said “we except online reservations” and when we arrived the manager said “we do not do online reservations”. I told her it was on the website. She said, prove it. When I showed her the website on the phone she started texted her website person and talking to me about it. After an hour of waiting and others going first we asked for a menu and had our meal at the bar. I was very uncomfortable her style.

Got in, got seated, atmosphere was good. I thought we were in for a treat, until the waitress came. She tried to take our order without a pen and paper. She failed, got it wrong. Onion rings came out raw basically. That makes two red flags. Suddenly, I hate being sober blared from the kitchen. I like the song, but the chef's voiceover sucked. Waitresses tweeting instead of asking how our raw onion rings tasted. Chicken pesto sammy came out wet and nasty. Wife opted out of her half-cooked chicken wings.
