    Always good. The music was loud but we asked to be seated in a quieter area. The host accommodated our request.

    Made reservation for 2 hoping for a romantic dinner. Was seated in the back with two larger groups (4 and 6) who were very loud. When we turned to look back at one of the tables because they were so loud one of the women said “what’s the matter, am I being too loud?” then proceeded to flip us the bird. I realize it was a Friday night and they were busy, but putting a couple in a room with groups, obnoxious ones at that, wasn’t awesome. The food and service was outstanding! I will go back, and request a quiet area if possible.

    There were no tables or seats in side, so we were seated outside on the enclosed deck. The bar outside was closed probably due to the 40 mph winds which was blowing through the enclosure. Our server probably had more important guests inside, she never came to see if the meals were ok. The prices have risen lately, probably due to the tariffs on local seafood?!?! The quality of the food and service has dropped.

    Only second time here- first time great but this time the scrod was “off” for two of us that had it. Might have been seasoning but not good!
