Gorgeous place to eat at sunset! Incredible food and drinks! The truffle Mac and cheese was out of this world! The salted caramel crunch cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had! ?

Went there on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy, but we had no issue getting a table. We started with some drinks and a few apps. The appetizers fell short unfortunately. The garlic asiago fries were really lackluster in flavor. The loaded smashed salt potatoes were not smashed at all, they were whole and also just alright. I got the shrimp tacos they were really good! flavor was good and amount of shrimp good. My friend really enjoyed her lobster grilled cheese as well. We will still be back next year, but just skip the apps!

Food was on the pricy side and just mediocre. Service was good though.

On the expensive side, fish fry was mediocre, crowded on a Friday night.

Told there would be 20 minute or less wait time and she would call when table was ready. After waiting well over and hour and 20 minutes and checking on our table we left. Think the hostess needs a watch and learn how to take people in the order in witch they check in

Found us a great spot to eat outside away from the sun. Food was absolutely worth the wait, and the staff was very nice. Cookie dough cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've ever had.

What a Joke. 45$ for 12 fried cheese curds is insanity. We looked for an alternative spot because river rat cheese does fried cheese curds and their fryer was down on Sunday. We will never, ever, be eating here. We just ordered three orders of fried cheese curds, that’s it. The curds were not salty, they were not fried all the way, just 4 big non flavorful pieces of cheese on a bed of lettuce with a touch of coating around them. Why the lettuce Lolol?!

They even tried to re create the sauce, but it’s just a berry jam with red hot flakes in it. Was so hot we had to stop down the road to get drinks. There’s no where to park, it took forever to get our food, and the portions were just astonishing. When you can buy 8/10 fried curds right up the road for 6$ with sauce, there’s no reason to ever order them from here. We laughed when we saw the portions. Never again.

A beautiful patio and above average food made for a great experience eating on the patio in the evening. They were very accommodating of my dog. Follow dinner up with a stroll on the boardwalk and you have quite a nice evening.

Kid-friendliness: An loose, upbeat atmosphere where kids fit right in.
