    We had a late reservation because we had been traveling and nothing else was open late. We never felt rushed, and our server took excellent care of us even though he was checking everyone out of their section as the staff was closing the restaurant. Wish we had gotten his name. He was awesome

    Slow service, no sense of urgency or concern for refills unless we asked. 375 before tip for 5 people for dinner. Upgraded service would’ve made it feel more worth it.

    We were seated in the bar area, which was fine. Unfortunately, our server made the experience unpleasant. She was overly aggressive with her so-called humor, constantly interrupting us between bites and making awkward jokes about us not finishing every bite on our plate. The lobster tasted like harbor water, and even the butter had no flavor. To top it off, the server kept pulling out her phone to show us other places we could eat—she was all over the place. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone else who ends up with her as their server. Her comedic timing was terrible, and overall, she was just awful. I won’t be coming back—definitely not worth the price for subpar harbor food and a chaotic dining experience.
