Our waiter was attentive and prompt. I ordered the ultimate grilled cheese with tomato bisque which was quite good. We’d return as the food was good and there was also good parking available.

Service by waitstaff and hosts was great! Food was good but couple of improvements to be made- such as branzino was over salted and bit too much dressing on the crab salad. Calamari was great!

I booked a lunch meeting for me and a prospective client to this restaurant. When we arrived after 15 minutes of trying to find parking - even though the Hilton has valets parking (but no one parking cars) we entered an empty restaurant with multiple tables that were set up for dinners. Somme of these tables were facing the water. When I arrived a gentleman asked me how he could help me. When I told him I made reservations for lunch through OpenTable he told me they do not serve lunch. I kept insisting that OpenTable had several time slots and that I successfully mad a reservation. After ten minute of arguing with he man, in format of my prospect, he told me I could sit at the bar (not a table nor a bar tender) and he would try to find food for us. The menu was not the menu on OpenTable and was veery limited. My guess, it was an in-room dinning table. Because it was cold, I ordered the Tomato soup which took over 15 minutes to be served, only to find out it was ice cold and tasted like ketchup. The waiter never returned to check on us, and the full bowl of cold soup sat infant of me and my client. After twenty five more minutes our food arrived. My client's also came with soup and his was just as cold and tasteless as mine. Bottom line DO NOT EAT HERE. IT is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We expected to eat a Thanksgiving dinner at this restaurant. Imagine our disappointment when we saw a big sign advertising the Brunch. We had to order from the regular menu with no specials. It was clean and our waiter was very good.

Food was so horrible!!! Save your money. The food was high-school cafeteria quality at best. Drinks also horrible! Only positive is the outside patio you can sit and enjoy the view while eating the mediocre food. Huge disappointment.
