    It pricey and the food way okay. Our server was nice and checked on us at the right times, but the kitchen is SLOW. The bathrooms were good - if it was a random Exxon station along I-95.

    Too hot to eat outside last night. Meal arrived cold and she offered to bring a different side. We received half the meal portion of another participant at the table. After that, our server didnt check back, no offer of a dessert, except we did get a 15% discount on the meal. Had I not waitwd an hour for the meal and been so hot I would have sent the meal back. Someone else had to settle our check. We requested a table out of the way of music and restaurant noice due to my husbands paralized vocal chord and there we were in front of the singer. We couldnt talk for the loud music. This was our 3rd visit in 2 weeks and the worst experience on the island. Emily our normal server wasnt there and the chaos showed. Not sure we will be back

    Guy playing music was too loud. Served was nice and working hard but thought servers were unprofessionally dressed. Drinks were subpar. Meal was decent but I expected better

    We went for Mother's Day brunch. Seated quickly. Mimosa & Bloody Mary were good. Veggie Omelet and Bacon Omelet were delicious. Amazing views of the ocean with a wonderful breeze. Highly recommend.
