    We made a late reservation and when we arrived they had already closed their kitchen. Was told by a staff member though that it was for the best. Ended up somewhere nice.

    My first restaurant rating. Had to find the host once we arrived at our reservation time, as he was in the bar, and was not particularly welcoming or at all prepared. One of our drinks came in a dirty glass, and when the host heard the problem and retrieved the drink, he left his drink on our table! Wasn’t at his best for sure. Not a good experience. Food was very poor. Two of the four of us didn’t eat more than a few bites, and other two did not finish. Wilted Caesar salad, linguine floating in watery sauce, very bland burger, short rib and green beans that seemed they were reheated from another day. Worst meal in a very long time. Wait staff, excluding host, were excellent and we felt bad for them having to apologize for the shortcomings in food. Interesting that a sign at the host station offers a free drink for a 5 star rating!!!! Now I understand how I made such a bad choice with a restaurant with 5 stars.

    I have a lot of thoughts, and none of them are nice. So I'll keep it simple and tell you to skip this place. Yes, the view is lovely, but that is simply the only lovely part. Go literally anywhere else.

    So very dissatisfied with both service and food. Steak & burger not prepared to temp requested, pasta served with wrong sauce, stuffed shrimp overcooked to a hardened state. Long wait for drinks, apps then main course served without utensils or napkins. Uncleared table nearby had gulls visiting. Upscale pricing without the value. Would not recommend and will not return.

    Everything but the view was awful. The lobster was overcooked. The cocktails were terrible. They did not bring out bread until the end brought no butter for the bread or lobster. There was a minimal sauce on the pasta. The only good thing was the view. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    09/01/24 Service was way too slow. We waited 15 minutes after we sat down to give our drink order. Food is just so so.

    Great location-and they accommodated our request for by the window. Service was not good-did not clear plates in between courses. Never refilled water glasses. Didn’t clear dishes before coffee and dessert. Server tried to be pleasant but seemed over his head. In fact, didn’t ask if wanted coffee or dessert. Lingered a little bit with our friends and the owner? Manager? Kept standing in the doorway making us feel uncomfortable. If they had cleared the table maybe we would have left sooner. Food was ok.

    Service was lovely, food was alright, lovely space and outdoor dining was fun. Not only was our server, Tracey, great, but you could see that the other servers were just as attentive to their tables.
