    We got there a little early, maybe 10 minutes or so and were told to come back at the exact time. Food was good, though the chowder was not hot. Not a lot of food for the money but that was expected as we’ve been before. We would go again.

    Have been many times and great food and service . They were a little off this Friday , small things waiter didn’t check on us as often as he should and his area wasn’t that busy , had to grab other servers . Also the wine we ordered with our dinner arrived 15 minutes after our meal and only after we grabbed our waiter who just said I know your wine will be here shortly , he eventually brought it over never said sorry or acknowledged it was so late in coming

    The food was excellent! Steaks were cooked to perfection. I had the clam chowder and loved it. My husband had the lobster bisque and said it was great. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. All the wait staff were attentive and personable. Location was perfect! Would definitely recommend and will return!
