    To be honest, after all the hype I was a bit disappointed, especially in the food. It was fine, good even, but nothing special. Definitely did not feel I got value for the money I spent.

    We found this restaurant from its excellent online reviews. We were celebrating a wedding anniversary nearby and chose to have dinner here. Wonderful location with views of the harbor. Very attentive and efficient staff. Wonderful menu items - there were so many dishes we would have been happy to order. Our seafood entrees and clam chowder were really excellent. The prices were very reasonable. The staff made our special evening very memorable. We will definitely come here again when we are in the area.

    Clam Chowder (usually only available on Saturday as a special) was a big hit! Also, the Peuvian paella was a standout. Plenty of excellent vegetarian selections.
