    Beautiful first time experience and great ambiance Server Chris attentive, and including all employees, very helpful and pleasant Food excellent but prices slightly steep All igloos different and fun! Would do again! Only downfall is that despite heat inside it does get cold on a winter afternoon and evening…they do provide blankets! Thanks for a great time and giving my family a jump start to Christmas!

    Our server and other waitstaff were fantastic! We had a leisurely dinner and never felt rushed. Dinner was lovely but dessert was the winner tonight. Decorated beautifully for Christmas…greens, wreaths, so many candles glowing and the twinkly lights everywhere made it feel like a Christmas wonderland (side note) because the lighting is dimmed so can enjoy the decor was a big hard to read the menu at the table Maybe an extra little table lamp would help 10 out of 10 experience The Coast Guard is is consistently at the top of the list. You can always count on a great meal and a great experience with some of the best wait staff in the state.
