Went here with a large group. Good value on a whole lobster dinner. Service was good. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

A frankly disappointing experience. Food that can barely be described as average, slow service and a shabby and poorly lit place. Plus, quite expensive.

Server was young, had a hard time with 4 or 5 tables and more then 1 bill at a table,lots of confusion, very very slow. More then 30 min just waiting for bills then they were mixed up. Several tries to get things right.Food however was really good. Beautiful views. Still a great place just need to train the staff.

Came in for drinks only with friends, asked waitress about beer and she was terribly rude in response, if the three others hadn't already ordered I would have walked out. Good luck if you get the older waitress.

It wasn't a bad stop. My partners food was better then mine. I would suggest the pan wasn't hot enough when my fish was cooked as it came out a bit mushy. Dessert was on the sad side as well perhaps because I expected it to be different then it was. So clearly they do some things well and others could improve. It wouldn't stop me from going again and ordering something different. It was busy enough there so clearly it's liked. I would recommend trying it.

Excellent food in a super location overlooking the water. We shared the calamari rings, which were a tad chewy but still delicious and the dipping sauces were great. My husband had the chicken parm, which he said was probably the best he's ever had (the sauce has some kick). I had a bowl of seafood chowder which was LOADED with amazing seafood. Atmosphere was quieter (which we prefer) than other popular venues. They stay open til 8:30, while many others close at 7, even on a Saturday.

Service was good but food was disappointing. Clam chowder was watery and bland. Crab cakes were a lump of deep fried over blended fish paste. Enjoyed the beer.

We ate outside on deck. Very quick service. Very friendly. We had fish tacos and fish and chips. Both were delicious and not skimpy on size.

We went to this restaurant at the first of September, the food was excellent, I had the fish tacos, they were cooked perfectly along with the spinach, beet and goat cheese salad omg it was delicious. My husband had the chicken parmesan, he said it was so good and a huge portion, had enough for left overs. We sat on the patio as we had our dog with us and our server was so sweet and brought him a bowl of water.Kid-friendliness: the server brought my niece some crayons and pictures to color while she waited for her food.Wheelchair accessibility: yes there was a ramp at the front up onto the patio to the main enterance.

Delicious food! Some of the best I've had. Chicken Parm was delicious, with perfect heat in the sauce. Fish tacos were perfection. The maple spinach salad was OUTSTANDING! It's a must order. The lobster mushroom app was delicious--enough to be an entree even though it is labeled as an app.As for the service, yes, things are slow. But it should be known that the servers are also the bartenders. That means each table that orders drinks they are making themselves. Honestly, if they added a bartender to their staff, this place would befive stars. A tip: arrive early before 6pm to avoid a longer wait time. Especially on weekends.
