    We had a nice quiet seat by the window. I would NOT recommend the filet mignon. It was horrible. It was stew quality chuck at the best.

    We made a reservation through open table which was confirmed. When we arrived for the dinner the restaurant was empty of personnel and no one was there. There was a closed sign on the door. I double checked the reservation and the restaurant’s website for info about the hours of operation, etc. it was supposed to be open. We were very disappointed. We will try again another time when we are in town as we have heard it’s very good.

    The service at the restaurant was excellent. We got there without a reservation closer to closing time and they took us with pleasure. Really appreciate the excellent customer service from this restaurant and will return in the future. Thank you.

    Not exactly what I expected. Quite a small, food is ok, but service was good. Right on Ocean Street, so nice people watching. But for the food overpriced. From the description I expected more Inspired food and fresh rather than store bought pasta.

    Their artichoke dip was really good. Also the grilled chicken sandwich (I added bacon and cheddar cheese), salmon sandwich, and onion rings were delicious. They have strawberry-watermelon, and mango refreshers which were tasty with the right amount of sweetness, they reminded us of jolly ranchers. Good portions, we ate at the restaurant and the staff are so sweet.
