Horrible cocktails! Food is OK at best. Would NEVER eat there again! Save your money and eat at home!

Having brunch on the Bentwood Tavern patio in front of the Marina is a visual joy! Add to that the great flavors created by the restaurant staff and the great waitstaff and you have perfection.

We had numerous issues with our order which affected the Mothers Day meal. One of our meals came out 100% incorrect. When they remade it, it wasn’t fully cooked. Everyone else was done at this point. They finally offered to credit the bill. Food and service generally good but not on point today. Fries were soggy, steak over cooked, soup and soup salty.

Their Sea Bass, only available the first weekend of the month, is delicious! Paired with a Mai Tai, and the harbor view - it's wonderful...

I ordered The Wedge salad---never made it to table before main entree. Wanted mashed potatoes substituted for fries...they sent fries. Ordered steak medium...came quite rare. They did make up for the mistakes by comping the salad (they brought me one while the steak was sent back to be cooked longer) and comping a dessert.
