    The Clam chowder was amazing. The best I ever had. The rest of the food was bland and just so-so! We thought the roasted garlic would be creamy and spreadable but it wasn’t. The sardines were full of bones and the fried shrimp were big, but lacked seasoning. Nice experience, but you just cannot beat the clam chowder! The BEST and the reason for the 4 stars!

    I dined at this restaurant for my second time. This time was awful. 1. The restaurant kept leaving the entrance door open. It was a cold and windy evening and we were seated at a table where we were constantly in a rigid draft. This was not enjoyable. 2. I asked about a substitution on my entree. The waiter said he would let me know the charge. The charge was 7.95$ so I declined. I will have the entree as described on the menu. 3. The restaurant then added in the substitution cost, charged sales tax on that amount and the removed the charge but not the sales tax amount. 4. The waiter never came back during our meal to ask if we are doing okay with everything. 5. The waiter never delivered any of our meals. Always a different server. 6. I don’t like these type of events in a supposedly top level restaurant. 7. I may not return, but I will always share my experiences with my friends and family.

    Excellent dinner- grilled octopus and grilled snapper. The bourbon bread pudding was a nice finish. The service was very attentive.

    The servers were friendly, an professional. The reservation was met on time, but the food was a tad slow coming out of the kitchen. However, it was a holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed, with a waiting line out the door, so not unexpected. The bacon wrapped scallops were the envy of everyone who didn’t order them.

    Fine casual dining at its best with gorgeous view of the water, attentive customer service, and amazingly delicious dishes from grilled octopus to cioppino. Happy we stop by here to dine when there are other choices that could’ve been made.
