Over rated. Feels like I am at a High School Graduation party when Im there with regard to the large outdoor seating tent and the patrons.

Great place in the Summer for sure!! The Winter can be a bit rough since it's on the water but great spot all year long!

The service was amazing! There were plenty of seating options both inside and outside. We sat outside. It was really a nice view, spacious, and close to the bathrooms and outside bar. A must try item here is the spinach and artichoke dip with crab in it. This was by far better than any other dip of this kind in the area. It was a good portion and with other appetizers it could have been a meal. They have both valet parking and there is a lot of for parking.

Packed house on a Friday night and service was amazing. There was only one waitress on staff and one bar tender. They consistently had 15 plus at the bar and 10 tables. They worked seamlessly together and we never waited for anything. Amazing staff and great food. Perfect atmosphere for 35 plus crowd.

Ordered a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer and after a wait was told they were out. Ordered a glass of Louis Martini Cabernet and after a short wait was told they were out. Ordered a a glass of Domaine Chandon and after a short wait was told that they were out! Really! Anyone paying attention to inventory here?

The food was pretty good... we had the seasonal sangria also which was delicious! The person at the door though was a bit rude, but our server def made up for it! She was super sweet and attentive. The view is also spectacular there year round!

The food was very good. We celebrated Mom's birthday and requested 2xs before and during the meal candle and saw a group sing to other patrons for their birthday. Dessert came out plate said Happy Birthday but no candle so gentlemen took it back and put a candle but only our waitress sang so little disappointed but not a deal breaker, we understand things happen and it was very busy. Food came out very quick for having a packed restaurant. Drinks were delicious as well. Overall a great evening and so happy I booked with you. Also Santa Clause coming around to everyone was awesome!!

We visited on a Thursday evening during restaurant week. There were a few tables (we were there early). The place is cute right and on the water....must be packed during the summer. Our server, Caitlin greeted us and took our drink order promptly. She was very helpful with suggestions from the many menu items. We enjoyed the wedge salad, steak tidbits and shrimp cocktail for appetizers. (One in our part chose the restaurant week menu and had the salad). All of the appetizers were delicious and shareable. The shrimp were huge and cooked properly with a snap. For our entrees we chose the scallops, tuna and strip steak. The scallops with risotto were outstanding (a suggestion from Caitlin). The tuna and strip steak were also enjoyed. Our service was great as was the food. Looking forward to returning!

Sat down at 6:34pm , was excited. Waitress came over about 3 mins later to take a drink order. Drops drinks after 2-3 minutes. We browse the menu about 4 minutes and decide. Then we can’t find our waitress! She finally shows up 4 songs later . I know because they had an open mic, we Try to order Mussels , staff fails to say when we sat down they were out of mussels … had to figure out what else we wanted… so Ordered a Guinness in the meantime! We figure out what we want , she comes over, we place the entire order , we sit and wait 15 minutes for a Guinness until I Ask the busboy for the beer. At this point the app comes out , clams , cherry clams , sour with a brown lemon ! Now I go to the hostess and say , I want bill , I’m done I’m sorry , and a different waitress arrives with a Guinness ! I told her I didn’t want it and she drops it on the table and says “the manager will be right over “ lol. The manager never came . No one ever apologized and I’ll never return! I’ve been in this hospitality “business “ 21 years. Where’s the manager ?

Service was way too slow. Does not seem to be run correctly/is under staffed. Food tasted great but plan to be there all day. I had to get 4 times because our waitress was not attending to our table of 2.

Decided to do just an appetizer type dinner. Best decision ever. Had three different ones. Oysters Rockefeller: these were a wow. Bacon, cheese, spinach. Perfectly cooked Lamb chops: another wow. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. You picked them up like a lollipopSteak tid bits: an even bigger wow. Bite sized beef. Super tender easy to chew. Seasoned with a sauce that will make you want to lick it up:
