    Bland, dry, and overcooked about sums it up. Pork chop was tough. The lobster roll was dry, unseasoned and rubbery. Will not be returning

    We arrived at 6:15 and were promptly seated at a small table for 2 in an extremely crowded and noisy space. Drinks ordered and received fairly quickly. Everything else took forever. Food was pricey and just ok. So loud it was very hard to have a conversation!! No need for a bored looking lounge singer that no one is interested in!! Just a lot of unnecessary noise!

    There were several larger groups inside so my blind sister and I decided to sit on the small porch area. Two of the women who work there brought over an umbrella so it was perfect. Our food was very good and the waitress, Kaitlyn, was efficient and friendly. The view is lovely - we saw some boats heading out the Great South Bay. Parking is tight but there is a lot a little beyond the Davis Park Ferry lot. We used the disabled parking spot so we were nearby. We couldn't have managed otherwise. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

    We just had the most horrible experience. Scallops were not edible, tried but they were left uneaten except for the 2 spit out on side of plate. Tried to send back. Waited 25 minutes for a sauce but no help. The manager by the name of Cynthia never acknowledged or even attempted to rectify the situation and refused to take off bill because I allegedly ate the majority of the scallops….2 of 7. 2 spit out 3 left on plate. She was rude and indifferent! Offered to buy desert if she took my uneaten food off my bill! Nope! $198 charged. My wife didn’t eat. We left! Never going back! Just another low life restaurant in a bad area with bad food and worse service! We’ve been there many many times…almost regulars! No more! Disputing credit card charges! Bad service, mediocre food and rude management! Never again!

    Rockefeller outstanding, sea bass very unfavorable. Bland & unseasoned. Drinks very good, service solid. Truffle risotto should be with truffles not oil. Pay more for best ingredients.

    Very good lobster roll, mostly claw meat, a few knuckles with a nice amount of meat. Steak tidbit appetizer was a hit. Great drinks. Awesome band, Livewired, playing outside in the parking lot. Fun time and good food.
