As we had a late lunch/early dinner, it was a great experience! I would rate the appetizers better than the main course! Between the Crab Cocktail, Crab Cakes, Crab Soup and the Calamari, they were excellent! Now I guess they are probably known for their seafood as some in our party order the steak frites and the Ribeye, now the Meat was great but the sides could have had a bit more flavor but our service was excellent and they even offered us free French Fries as a substitute...
Arrived at 3 for a late lunch, early dinner for our 33rd Anniversary - the meal started with our server (also bartender) wishing us a Happy Anniversary - he treated us like ROYALTY. Prosecco toast & 5 star treatment all the way. Food excellent. Atmosphere fantastic. The service was impeccable. We will be back for a second ho at the Steamed Lobster Tower!!!!
I go there often. The view from the outside deck is amazing. The inside dining is top notch. The servers are super helpful and their knowledge of the menu is great. My favorite servers are Craig and Aubrey. They have always seemed to remember me and always cater to my dining needs. Their manager, Andrew, is super nice as well. I can dine there as inexpensively as I can cook something at home without having to clean up. Thank you for the lovely dining experience!
