The view at this waterfront restaurant is absolutely stunning and honestly the only reason our experience was somewhat salvageable. Sitting by the water with that scenery should make for a perfect night out, but unfortunately the rest of the experience fell far short.

We started with Aperol spritzes, which unfortunately tasted like flat seltzer water and seemed to contain little to no prosecco. Our server didn’t check on us for quite some time, so by the time she finally came back and we mentioned the issue, we had already taken a few sips while waiting. She took the drinks away but did not remove them from the bill, which was disappointing.

When we ordered food, two people at the table ordered the same salad, yet the dressings tasted completely different. One of them tasted overwhelmingly like straight maple syrup, which made it almost inedible. We also ordered shrimp both on a salad and as an appetizer, and in both dishes the shrimp were extremely overcooked and tough.

About halfway through the meal when we were mainly staying for the ambiance at that point the manager informed us that they would be lowering the windows for “maintenance” for just a moment. Unfortunately, that “moment” ended up lasting the rest of our time there. The space quickly became very hot and uncomfortable, almost like we were sitting under a magnifying glass. When I spoke with the manager about it, the only solution offered was turning on the AC and shutting the blinds to the outside, which completely defeated the purpose of being there for the waterfront view in the first place.

We weren’t expecting anything to be comped, but after the issues with the drinks, inconsistent food, and the ambiance change, it was surprising when our checks arrived at full price with nothing addressed.

It’s a beautiful location with an incredible waterfront view, but unfortunately the service, food quality, and overall handling of the situation left us disappointed. We will not be returning.

Absolutely amazing food, garlic shrimp, oysters, ribeye… Everything was on point. We were in a rush for our next Valentines activity and every single staff member was attentive and helpful. We had a beautiful meal and was able to finish our meal in 45 minutes. Food, service, and atmosphere are all 10/10! Would come back!

the restaurant is beautiful and the servers are so amazing and attentive my drink literally was always full however my meal was very mediocre and not worth the nearly 50$ spent on it, nice restaurant but don’t order the lobster mac and cheese unless you want dry noodles with a hint of rubbery lobster

This is a fantastic resource and destination for a top shelf experience. The price asked is high, but the product delivered far surpassed the request!

A great setting for a quiet meal for two,or a robust experience for a group.

Everything was scrumptious!
Apps, drinks,mains,and desert
.... very well worth it!

My absolute favorite restaurant in the area! We celebrated a very special dinner here and truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and welcoming, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant as always. The food was excellent, every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. This was the perfect place for our celebration dinner and a night we’ll always remember. Thank you for making it so memorable.

store bought Dressings...you pay for the view...Mom's 75th Birthday dinner..and stuffed us in a tight section when there were only 4 tables occupied in the whole place...so...not so much privacy when I paid over 500 for mediocre food and service
