    Very unorganized, once we were seated we had 3 different waitresses come to our table to wait on us. We placed our order for apps & drinks, we waited almost 20mins for our drinks & I got tired of waiting so went up to the bar to get another round. Food was definitely sitting for a while before it got to our table cause was not warm at all & 1/2 the oysters were old. Definitely will not go back.

    A pleasant surprise on a spare of the moment pick using Open Table. The food was impressive and very affordable by comparison. The lobster roll was the best in the area according to a family member and the seaport scampi was very good. The Filet was tasty and cooked to perfection. The waitress was very friendly and gave our family a lot of attention which we like. We will surely be back.

    The fact that a girl wearing all black basically jumped up to my car window as I was driving into the parking lot, asking something about where I was going did not start the experience on the right foot. After finding out what she was actually doing there would have been a much better way for her to tell people that were going to some event next door that they could not park there. The room we sat in was nice and quiet. The servers were good. The food was just ok, I had a burger and it tasted like a bottle of pepper was dumped into it. Others liked their food.

    Food was exceptional. Ordered scallop and shrimp risotto and it arrived well presented and piping hot. It was wonderful. For dessert Crème Brule which was perfect.

    Was surprisingly nice. By the looks of the outside and walking through the entrance I thought I was in for a rough time. The staff was friendly and gave great service. The food was good but nothing beat dessert. Get the fried ice cream. It may not be on the menu but you can still order it.

    Price fix dinner for two with a bottle of wine was beyond amazing! From the lobster bisque and chowder to the scallops wrapped in bacon, then filet mignon and lobster florentine followed by a creme brûlée to be shared, such a tastefully prepared dinner accompanied by a bottle of wine! We haven't been out on New Year's Eve in years, choosing to avoid the crowds and over-priced "special" menus. This very special evening changed our minds about eating out on the last day of the year.
