   Seating had a nice view of the water. Food was under seasoned and lobster bisque was barely warm with only a single piece of lobster in it for $14. Fried fish was hot though. Service was pleasant but extremely slow with only four other diners in the restaurant. Disappointed with my experience.

   We decided to give this restaurant another try because when we were here last summer the food was satisfactory, but the service was horrible.  We arrived at 5:45 for our party of 4 reservation,15 minutes early. The restaurant was not at all busy, plenty of open tables. The hostess told us that although we had a reservation that we had to wait closer to our reservation time to be seated, offered us to wait in the lobby or in the lounge. One person in my party was handicapped and used a walker. After waiting 10 mins she asked if he could take two stairs up with his walker to sit in a section without a ramp to access, um NO! While we waited other another party of 4 without reservations came in and were seated immediately. We thought this was highly unusual. Moving on to dinner .. Our waitress Krystin, was excellent, but the food was less than desirable. The lobster bisque was so thick with cream and lacked lobster and was cold. There was one very small piece of lobster floating on the top. My main dish, Ahi Tuna, priced at $37 a plate, was cooked perfect but the rest of the dish was undercooked with VERY El Dente vegetables and at best room temp. Everyone at my table noted that their food was cold as well. Very overpriced dinner for the quality provided. We will not be returning for anything but maybe a burger and fries.

   Very disappointed. Waitress was very rude. Extremely small portion of fried clams ($38), French fries were greasy. Baked Cod was floating in a white liquid.

   The new menu was a welcome change! I’ve loved the location but not the menu here historically. I’m not a seafood eater and last night enjoyed a wonderful burger with nice slaw. The only feedback was that the fries should’ve been hotter and crispier. My husband had the seafood pie which came with a nice salad. He really enjoyed it. We finish with one of the best crème brûlées I have had in awhile and a peanut butter espresso martini which was divine. The waitress was sweet but busy, they seemed a bit short staffed. The prices were a tad high, but given the proximity to where we go , the views and the great food- we will be back.

   Food was disappointing. Clam Chowder was warm not hot, small serving. Other entrees just OK. Expected more from this place.

   The food is decent, but not great. Prices are insane. Fourteen dollars for a small slice of cheesecake? Really?

   The food and service were great. We sat outside by the water, so the atmosphere was also great! Will definitely return in the future.

   To start off, we there not only for the food but also for the view. We started off with the Mussels and Fries appetizer. As always we were not disappointed. This is one of the dishes we always so back for. After that we had the Boa Buns appetizer. Very good and had plenty of stuff inside it. This was our first time trying it. Well worth it. We'll definitely go back

    Pleasant surprise - our first visit more than met expectations. Our chosen dishes - lobster bisque and calamari - were among the best we've had anywhere. One criticism - the chairs are poorly balanced ( top heavy) and there were two incidents when a chair fell over backward - could be hazardous though it wasn't in these cases.
