    The location of the restaurant across the street from the ocean is great and walkable from many hotels. There is a large porch for dining or sitting in rocking chairs chairs watching the activity on Beach Avenue . The staff members were all pleasant and helpful. The decor of the restaurant is dated and needs a refresh. We found our dinner to be underwhelming. The salad needed more dressing and the Seabass was served with a bland slaw that was annoying to eat. Perhaps we should have ordered vegetable side dish. The menu is extensive and expensive. The bread basket is an up charge of $8.00. Wine is purchased by the bottle or BYOB.

    The lobster was average, and over priced for the portion size, but besides that it was ok. Was rather surprised it’s a BYOB establishment as well.

    Great food and service. A bit pricey but worth it. We had the Salmon and it was divine. Enjoy your time here. I wished they had a ramp to help my mom up the stairs but she made it!

    The steaks were great. I was surprised that we had to pay for bread basket and seemed like random leftover bread from their breakfast service. Would think for $12 it would be Fresh hot homemade bread

    10/10….From the bread to the apps to the main course everything was great….got the porterhouse steak for two and it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Definitely worth every penny spent!

    I love this restaurant. Menu has many options to chose from. Food is always superior but service was very slow because of how busy they were. Will be back!
