It couldn’t be a more perfect evening. Friendly staff from the hostess to our server, Dominique. Amazing and generously portioned food that was perfectly timed— we had swordfish and linguine with clams. Beautiful sunset views with ocean breezes. Couldn’t ask for anything more. I highly recommend the Channel Marker.

I had the pleasure of visiting Channel Marker on 8/29. When I walked in the hostess asked for my name and when I said I didn't have a reservation she gave me about a 45 min window, I said let me go outside to ask the men if they wanted to wait, we were a party of 6. As I was walking away, she said Eleanor, give me a sec, looked outside and came back and said let me find some chairs and I will sit you. I was elated, as the next day 8/30 was my birthday. I thanked her all night...

Quality breakfast and dinner spot on the bay. Our party of nice loved the calamari and crab salad as appetizers and high marks on the swordfish, veal milanese and pasta. Our server was terrific and very attentive. From placing order to presenting entrees took no more than 20 minutes. It is byob and plenty of room and outside dining with fabulous views. First time here and we will be back. A comfortable and casual place you must visit in Lavalette area. 👏
