    Very loud but the food makes up for it. The muscle pots are enough to share and still have left overs

    Our last two visits haven’t been up to their normal standards. The mussels were gritty and many were over cooked in both dishes ordered. The chips for the spinach and artichoke dip were soggy.

    great food; scallops and fish were excellent. outstanding Blue Point oysters; tomato burrata; desserts—all fine; waitress lost us for a while in mid meal due to crowds—empty wine glasses after meal was served from kitchen, check not picked up timely—not a big deal but still….

    My husband and I got a seat at a nice corner table outside for lunch. The food was delicious!! We shared the lobster bisque, turkey sandwich and Asian salad. We left very happy.
