    Was not seated where I had been told I would be, and then waited forever for a server to come. Pretty sure he was a busboy an not a server. The table next to me waited even longer and said they were just going to leave.

    Our family sat outside under the canopy which was very nice. The ambience is great. The food was good. Seafood was fresh but steak a bit over cooked for medium with no pink.

    Food is fantastic. Service is absolutely horrible and rude and for the price they charge you deserve better service.

    Overall experience was fair-to-poor. Waitress never introduced herself. Drink and app order went fine and we asked for a little more time on the main course selection. Waitress finally returned to our table 15 mins or so after we finished the app. Meals were delivered timely, but my wife ordered a salad with a $12 up charge for chicken which ended up being a few pieces of Lukewarm (microwaved???) chicken, not grilled, not much chicken at all. We were overcharged for the app and wasn’t told what the “crisp” option was on the dessert menu. The app charge was corrected but it took 15 mins and they accidentally delivered another app, presumably after it was re-entered into their computer. $133 for 2 glasses of wine, 1 beer, 2 dinners and 2 cups of coffee and terrible service. We won’t be back soon and we live locally.

    A perfect spot for people watching in Chatham! We dined outside and enjoyed both the clam chowder and the French onion soup, as well as the fish and chips and baked cod. We had a great time!

    The people at the hostess stand were not friendly and did not seem interested in our request for patio seating-we did request on the reservation. We ate inside. While it was noisy, our waitress Kate was the best. She answered all menu questions, was well versed on the bar menu, and was the most attentive server I have had in quite some time. The food was delicious! The drinks were perfect. Kate checked on us frequently and was always happy to meet any needs we had.

    The food was great but the service was terrible. You know it’s bad when another server asks if you’ve been helped because she noticed no one has been by your table.
