    All went really well at The Mooring. We had a 6:00 PM reservation and were seated shortly after arriving to the restaurant. The place was buzzing! Despite the business, all went well after being seated. The place is big! Our server was attentive and accommodating. Food was good - came out piping hot and fairly quickly. My only criticism would be the noise level was high - it was a bit hard to hear the server as well as the people we were with. I am guessing with the number of people dining - noise it very hard to control. Generally, The Mooring was a delightful dining experience. I would recommend it highly.

    We had such a nice Christmas Eve dinner ! Sharon was our awesome server and despite the craziness of the busy holiday, she held it together with a smile and grace ! But those shrimp and lobster fritters … worth the trip itself! YUM! Great drinks …. yummy lobster rolls, what more could you ask for ? We will be back again!

    The cuisine was excellent. Our server, Emily was very attentive to our needs. It was a busy night, and I suspect they are short of staff. Fortunately, the manager jumped in and actually helped serve our dinner.

    Had a very nice Christmas Eve Afternoon meal at the bar. Service was wonderful, had a nice chat with the couple sitting next to us, and our food was all very good — shrimp ceviche (holy jalapenos! Be prepared for HEAT!), tuna, octopus, chips and dip, lobster-shrimp fritters, and the southern biscuit, which is the size of a salad plate. It's no ordinary biscuit!

    Fantastic Christmas Eve lunch at The Mooring. Sat in the patio on the water's edge. Nice and warm with overhead heaters. Seafood Risotto - a special seasonal item - delish with lobster and shrimp. Pan fried sole with butter sauce very delicate and served with potatoes and some greens. Service perfect. Food exceptional. A great time by all. Definitely would recommend.
