This lovely spot right on the water in Bristol was excellent in every way--the food, the service, and the great ambience. You can sit at a chair or table along the water and watch the sunset and the sailboats! Parking may be a challenge at times, but that might have been for us because there was a wedding at the venue the evening we were there.

Great location - sat outside on the covered patio overlooking the harbor. It's a beautiful setting. The service was terrific, setting terrific - bumps up my rating - but the food is average and pricey for the quality. Our calamari appetizer was bland (table of 5 didn't even finish it) the fish in my fish burger/sandwich was tough (though the fries were good), fish & chips others at my table had was fine/standard, steak sandwich fine. So much potential to be a fabulous...

Very lovely dinner with over 20 people. We reserved 2 tables of 6 and then that group grew to 20 with unexpected family showing up as well. The restaurant quickly accommodated us and the service was great. Our wait staff was attentive, accurate and the food and drinks great! Go here for your fun and gatherings.
