Overall the experience was very nice. It was fun to watch the boats go through the drawbridge and the servers were great. My only comment is that the risotto was flavorless and the lobster roll had very little lobster .

Poor service. Waiter forgot to put in our orders for appetizers and bread service. We had to ask for refills. Service was bad and very disorganized. Very disappointing to take our family here and have such terrible service for such a nice location.

Cynthia, I apologize that we did not have the service as expected. I will look into this situation and improve the service we provide. Paul Andrzejewski, General Manager

As an early Mother’s Day gift, we took family to The Weathervane. We were seated at a nice table with a view of the channel and the fireplace. The food was as excellent as the view. However, our server brought one member of our party the wrong drink, and he did not correct his mistake for quite some time. We had to flag him down. He had to replace a dirty bread plate too. The biggest issue was that our sever and the host spent a lot of time chatting with a couple who seemed to have recently moved to the area. The restaurant was not busy. In fact, diners were only seated at a few tables. Yet, our table was neglected. Our server was nice and funny when he visited our table. Yet, his lackluster overall service was disappointing.

Sherri, thank you for enjoying the view and our menu. I will look into why your server was not more attentive. Paul Andrzejewski, General Manager

The food was delicious. Our only complaint is that the service was slow. It was not the fault of our server,, but rather that the kitchen was slow. We hope they will get this wrinkle fixed before the real season begins.

Wally, Thank you for your review. If you could email me about your experience I would like to get information about how the kitchen was slow in your opinion. Paul Andrzejewski, General manager
