"Wanted a casual lunch. Our party enjoyed the clams appetizer, clam chowder, grilled crab melts and topped off the meal with the citrus creamcheese cake. Superb! Delightful setting, delicious meal, wonderful service!"

"We were there on a rainy weeknight, so I assume the lack of diners was the day and the weather. The food was very good and our out of town guests loved the view. We had made reservations, yet we had to wait for our table which was not prepared when the hostess took us upstairs. The service wasn't bad, our waitress was pleasant, but I would not say it was good. Perhaps she was new. We took the elevator due to an injured knee. I stepped on the elevator, which I thought the hostess was holding open, and the door slammed on me. I was far enough in that the electric eye should have sensed my presence. When I say slammed, I am not exaggerating. I almost fell over, and there were bruises on my back. I suggest they have it checked."

"We started with a calamari appetizer which was overdone. We noted this to our server when he asked how it was, but we got no reaction. My daughter got clam chowder which was served barely lukewarm. We sent it back and it was delivered hot, but perhaps the worst tasting clam chowder either of us has ever tasted. I ordered the seafood cioppino and it was ok and my wife got the enchilada which was also just ok. With the appearance and location of this restaurant, it is a shame that its not better. Its definitely not as good as it looks. I would definitely suggest that they get a new chef and put a focus on making good food."

"Was disappointed when they were out of the item I wanted and also out of the nightly special of prime rib and it was only 5:00 p.m. On a positive note, the service was excellent."

"A little disappointed. We have been there 2 times before and this time didn't compare to the first two. They used to have sushi, no longer. They used to do a bowl of clam chowder with the clams in the shell in the soup and you could dig out the meat. It gave the chowder a unique flavor and it seemed like it was made from scratch. This time the chowder seemed like it came from a can and it was only cup size. They no longer have filet mignon."

"Our party of six thought the food was very good, buy the service very slow. We waited 30 minutes for our salad, and then had to ask where it was. Then we waited another 30 minutes to receive our meal, which had one meal mixed up.
Maybe there was new waiter staff, and I hope the service improves, as the location is great, and being a local resident we'd like to go there on a regular basis. We will give it one more try and hope we get better service."

"For a prix fixe meal on valentines day we were disappointed. The menu was excellent but the execution was poor. Overcooked, rubbery lobster and beef wellingtons that had very little beef wrapped in a wonton skin. Unimpressive tornados of beef. Definately expected more for $120.00."
