    The ambiance is always nice. Although it was a rainy cold day. Food was good, place was empty and we had the place to ourselves to watch the football game and chat with our waitress who was very nice.

    Great - hidden gem! My son was a student at SUNY Maritime (blocks away ) and I've passed this restaurant for four years and have been wanting to try it. Never have and he's about to graduate. Now my other son is a freshman at Maritime so while dropping him off at school - we finally decided to eat here and we are so glad we did! Service is great and staff is extremely friendly! Love all of the menu choices - have lots of options and we opted for the special which included a drink, soup, salad, entree, dessert & coffee - well worth the price! The rainbow cheesecake was amazing! Love how quaint the restaurant is and you are right by the water - nice view! We will definitely be back! So glad I will be in the area for the next four years while my son's at school! Wish I tried this place sooner!

    This place is extremely old fashioned and in desperate need of a makeover. The menu is all over the place, drinks were disappointing from what I was told, and the food was either overcooked or undercooked. The muscles tasted dirty like they were not properly cleaned and the taste ran over i to the vegetables. Not a good dining experience at all. The location is great and it could be gem, if they had a Gordon Ramsey style rescue.

    Seafood salad was swimming in olive oil, at least 2 strands of hair on the almost inedible seafood. My sons fries also had a piece of hair. This place can use some hygiene make over along with some much needed cleaning.

    Went for lobster night and it was amazing. 2 nice lobster tails, veg and potato, salad and dessert. Usually wine is included but there was a temp hold on alcohol. I've been numerous times but i loved lobster night. And of course i always get my raw clams, yum yum

    We were there for their Valentine's Pre-fixe. I thought the food was delicious. But their presentation was wasn't great. (one pink flyer on the table, listing the price per couple our options). I loved the stuffed lobster, my date thought the chicken with mushrooms was a little thin. But we agreed all was delicious. The lobster bisque was very salty, but I like it that way. I would go back.

    We were here for Parents Weekend at Fordham University. I feel like we found a gem. Service was good, the food took a little while, but we weren’t in a rush. We would be regulars if we lived closer:We were treated like regulars the moment we walked in! It should be noted we were a party of 9. They only take cash, but have an atm on site.

    The food is great. However they don't have many options for sides. That isn't anything to stop me from going. It's cash only, they have an ATM for your convenience but again nothing so inconvenient it'll stop me from going again.
