Appetizers and drinks were great. I had the prime rib -medium. It was more towards rare than medium.
My boyfriend had the chicken parm and he loved it.

The atmosphere was cozy and had beautiful Christmas decorations
Our favorite qas the upside-down Christmas tree.

I made a reservation for a party of 8 for Christmas lunch and confirmed with the restaurant that they were having the regular lunch menu on December 21st as we wanted a sit down meal. I was having lunch with my elderly parents with mobility issues and we didn’t want a buffet. We have been coming for several years the last Sunday before Christmas and always had the lunch menu so we didn’t think it would be a problem. Imagine our surprise when we arrived and were told it was a buffet. The hostess didn’t seem to care when I told her that when we made the reservations we confirmed it was the lunch menu. The buffet presentation was terrible. The food was mediocre at best and extremely disappointing. Who serves peel and eat warm uncleaned shrimp and cut up bagel pieces in eighths. So tacky. The desert presentation looked like they put out one piece of leftover pie from each night one chocolate piece of pie, one apple pie, etc looked like the leftovers for the week. I could keep going but I will just end with after many years never going back. They must be struggling or under new leadership. Really awful experience.

I’ve been here a few times for parties during brunch and loved it! Decided to give it a try for dinner and was not disappointed. Service and food were both great! I know the specialty here is seafood, but the Asian filet mignon tips were one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

Hadn't been here in a number of years as we don't live nearby. Our host Jim was excellent as was our server Andrew. Started with the oysters Rockefeller - Delish. I had the cod special and hubby had the filet high mignon with mash. All wonderful! Too bad we don't live closer.

My Thanksgiving day dinner at the Snapper Inn was as always an excellent experience. The staff was very welcoming from the front hostess to the table. My prime rib was served rare as I had ordered. The chocolate mouse was delightful. I will be going back for another dinner very soon

Came here for Thanksgiving yesterday. For the money they charged for a pre-fixed thanksgiving dinner, they have some nerve. First off, they ran out of Diet Coke. Whatever, not the end of the world. I started with the seafood bisque. The soup was cold, had that matte film over it like it was sitting out, and not one piece of seafood except for 1 lonely, pathetic mushy shrimp. To add, the soup was so salty, it was as if they added some the bay water to it. The Cesar salad was underwhelming with wilted overdressed lettuce and mushy croutons. I had the filet mignon, which was decent. Lastly I had the chocolate mousse for dessert. We had to wait 30 min to get it because desserts were “backed up”. I certainly do not mind paying $80+ dollars per person, but this was definitely taking advantage because it was a holiday. What they served was not good and not worth that kind of money. We could have went anywhere, and we chose Snapper Inn because of their positive reviews, but, I’d never come back here again.

Food, Service, Atmosphere were all top notch. While the taste of the food here is something I enjoy the main course portions can be a bit bigger.. Still recommendable

I can't say enough good things about The Snapper Inn! The service was excellent, and the beautiful ocean views were the perfect backdrop for our meal. The food was incredible! We feasted on the most delicious fried calamari, fresh mussels, and amazing lobster rolls. A truly perfect spot for a great dinner.

I called to make a reservation for an early dinner for 8/31. I asked for outdoor seating and the young lady informed me they don't take reservations for outdoor dining that is on a first come first serve basis. Upon arrival I saw the hostess and asked for an outdoor table. She informed me they were completely booked with reservations for the outdoor dining. I said to her when I called to make a reservation, I was told they don't accept reservations for outside. The manager standing next to he quickly chimed in and said they don't accept outdoor reservation but if you have an indoor reservation you would get a priority for an outdoor table.
I proceeded to go to the bar for a cocktail with my wife. After a nice drink I saw many available tables outside. In fact, I counted 14 empty tables. I went back to the manager and asked for a table because I saw there was plenty of seating available. He proceeded to tell me that he could not accommodate me because the tables were empty because the kitchen staff was maxed out.

I found that hard to believe but took him at his word. I went back to the bar and ordered 2 shrimp cocktails and received my order in no time and proceeded to eat the with my wife on the arm of the Adirondack chairs that they have on the dock. I guess the kitchen staff wasn't maxed out.
We ate awkwardly off the arm of the chairs while I saw plenty of seating available.
I am a local resident, and I have enjoyed dining there many times but base on this experience it will be my last.

The manager was an unprofessional A--
