Good food, a bit noisy even though very few people dining, waiter was overly attentive, whisked plates away from under your nose before you could stop him.

Never had a bad meal here! Brunch is also delicious & portions are huge! Service, for the most part, is friendly and professional. Beautiful place in the summer but it's usually packed so make reservations!

Very nice all around. If you want food for week you can order the penne vodka. Oh. My. God. I've never been served so much food. I'm not sure someone from my 600 lb life, before diet and WLS, could finish this in one sitting. I've attached a photo. The food was good. Service was great. My companions orders had a normal amount of food.

I called to ask if we needed a reservation since we were going around 6pm and the gentleman who answered the phone was very pleasant and said we did not but asked how many were in our party. I let him know how many and he asked if we needed a high chair to which I said yes thank you! And he told me to just come on over and they'd have a table waiting for us. We took longer than expected but when we got there and they asked how many they knew I was the one who called and he showed us right to our table which was perfect with a great view. Our server was great, very pleasant and attentive. The food was perfect. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. Thank you for making my Dad's Birthday dinner a great experience! We will definitely be back.

All the years I've been down here I don't remember ever eating here. I guess I'd hit Captains Inn and not continue down the road. Big mistake on my part. Hit there today and had a great dinner. Food was very good and service was great. Can also see that it's a great place to dine in the summer on the water. A lot smaller than I expected which I'm sure means it thought to get in during the summer but overall great place for dinner. Will definitely come back to try more.

Terrific cocktails and a fantastic steak served by a friendly and efficient waitress. We will be heading back in warmer weather to enjoy the river view.

I was completely impressed. I had been to the previous establishment here- martells waters edge - and it made me not want to return. But the new waterfront, so impressed! The portion sizes was much better than I expected. The food is so flavorful and yummy. Watching the sunset over the bay was stunning. I loved the soft music playing. And my waiter was so friendly and nice and helpful. Thank you Steve!

I got this one mixed up with another restaurant. They hosted my father-in-law's dinner with the family after his funeral. The food was outstanding. My mother-in-law cannot wait to go back. The service was also outstanding they completely aim to please. The views are gorgeous, very pretty and calming restaurant. The chicken piccata was out of this world! The French onion soup people wanted seconds. The penne vodka was amazing. The people that had the flame mignon said it was one of the best they've ever had not one person left unsatisfied or hungry I highly recommend it is worth the trip worth the price worth it all!

Parking: Don't bring a nice car; it is a stone lot with many potholes.

Great spot, love being on the water. Love the live music and outdoor area. I've gone by boat too, and the staff is helpful when docking.

I've been there for 4 different occasions and the food has been horrible overcooked. Dried out the servit wasn't much better. I asked for milk for my coffee and it took 15 minutes to bring a thing of milk down when you ask the servers for something you feel like you are impeating on their time. I would not recommend this place for anything
