So my man friend has taken me there twice. Once during the week and once on a Fri night. Both times the food service and atmosphere was EXCELLENT. The food was fresh and abundant. We had drinks and hordevvors . I cannot to go aggain.
This place is wonderful. It's clean, the food is good and the service is lovely. Only request I would have is to offer a few vegetarian options. I asked to leave the meat of the things I ordered, but it would be cool if a cheaper version of the chicken quesedilla for example would be available. But this place overall is a gem!
A great local restaurant for us to take our family. The kids love the playground, the staff treats us great, and the food is on point. The newest owner has done an exceptional job with the restaurant and making it a go to spot for not only locals, but everyone else.
Good food. Great staff (always very nice and helpful). Nice atmosphere, with good views of the water. They have a monthly specials menu that always has a couple of fresh and creative options. There are sometimes inconsistencies from the kitchen, but not enough to cause me to not want to return. In the summer, the flies outside can be a but overwhelming.
Good place, out of the way. I had the blackened tuna wrap with seaweed and sweet chili sauce. What a combo! I highly recommend. Also had the Bavarian pretzel, huge serving and fresh out of the oven.
This was maybe my third time at this establishment and wanted to share my experience. We took my MIL for Mother’s Day and while we had a reservation, they were so slammed it took 20 minutes to even get through the line to talk to the hostess, and the food took a veeeery long time to come out. So why five stars? Bc it’s worth the wait! Not only is it to be expected that a reasonably-priced seafood restaurant on the water would be busy on a holiday, despite the chaos our waitress could not have been sweeter (and as my husband and I were paying the bill she, without our asking, kindly helped my MIL pack up her leftovers bc she noticed her hands are a bit weak and she was struggling). I wish I caught her name so she could get a shoutout she deserves! We were lucky to have a beautiful day and loved sitting by the water watching the ducks as we chatted and waited for our food. And the food? Amazing! My MIL wanted to come here for the stuffed mushrooms and they did not disappoint. We also got some calamari, which has a nice, flavorful breading and some cream of crab soup. My MIL said her crabcake was all crab no filler, and I enjoyed my crabby patty. I will say my husband didn’t love his sandwich (it was highlighted on the menu as a popular choice, but the shrimp/chicken/pepper/cheese combo didn’t quite jive). That aside, we had a great meal, in a great location, with great service from our server, so despite the awful delay from the holiday rush, I’d say it was a perfect place to celebrate and will be back!
Went yesterday for me and my wife's 2nd time...food was amazing,great service and friendly attentive staff!only downfall was the internet was out so no tv but had a great music playing and was a nice chill atmosphere!keep up the great work ...
My family used this restaurant as their venue for a small, intimate wedding. Luke & his crew were FANTASTIC! True rockstars. The evening was beautiful and the food was simply incredible. Everything came out hot and fresh for every guest. Everyone was raving about the prime rib and crab cakes. Highly recommend!
