Excellent meal. Crab crusted haddock was great. Very attentive service. Outdoors with band playing on the square was fun.

Celebrated a friend’s birthday dining on the back patio. Beautiful evening, great paced course meal starting with Oysters, cocktails, then a Maki roll appetizer, followed with half-bottle of chilled white wine and two great classics; an overflowing Lobster roll with perfect side of fries and a delicious, savory seafood Cioppino stew. Our waiter was appropriately attentive the whole meal and went above and beyond providing a lit candle in the rich, decadent flourless chocolate cake orders and had a couple of accompanying team members join in to sing “happy birthday”. A wonderful dining experience all-in-all, thank you.

This reservation was made for lunch on a holiday. The restaurant seated us when we arrived and our server was amazing. She gave us water immediately on the hot day and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu before taking our order. The place was very busy and there were plenty of staff working to take care of the crowd. The food arrived in a timely manner. Three of our party ordered seafood dishes that were delicious. This is a seafood restaurant so I would not recommend ordering the burger! We will definitely be back.

It was our waitress’s first day and she was awesome. I think her name was Rachel. She was friendly, attentive, with a great people-pleasing attitude. Good hire!

I went with my family of 6 for Father’s Day. To start I get it’s Father’s Day and busy. I asked for grilled chicken on my tacos verses pulled chicken they would not make an easy modification. My daughter was mid eating and the waitress took the plate without asking if she could clear it. My oldest daughter ordered a cheeseburger- waitress comes out and goes “we ran out of burger buns so we put your burger on Texas toast” I hope this is ok? Seriously? What happen to asking to clear a plate, what happen to asking if they were ok with having the substituting and giving the option to switch her meal. Update: Manager reached out right away. Was very kind and offered to make things right. Thank you
