Rude, confrontational older male manager refused to allow us to wait for one of those tables saying that they no longer honor requests for table location. Therefore, we will NOT be returning to The Oar again – the food is only mediocre so the draw has been the view and the service – and those are now gone.

Just lovely. Can’t wait to get back

Great views! Great service. Just dock your boat and walk on up!
