My wife ordered chicken sandwich and the bread was soggy. Piece of chicken breast was small, not worth the money. Taste was bland and was sent back. They also forgot to add the house chips that came with the meal. A side of fries, very small paper bag was way over priced at $7.95. For comparison about the same size and amount as child portion fries McD’s. Waite staff not attentive, no refills on soda offered, had to ask several times before we got one refill.

Everything about this restaurant is very well done, service, ambience, etc., except the food is on the mediocre side. Ordered the lobster roll and it neither looked appetizing nor tasted great. It would be a fabulous place if they paid more attention to their kitchen.

Great atmosphere by the water. Friendly, attentive server. Our meals were very good and served in a timely manner. We were not rushed to order and were given time to visit with friends that we had not seen for over a year. Would definitely return!

We were 5 ladies and all of our dishes was fantastic…I had the 1/2 salad with Lemon Vinaigrette dressing on the side with a blackened piece of Salmon cooked to perfection! Ambiance was also beautiful with all the boats overlooking the restaurant
