    We were hoping for a sunset view but it pretty obscured in the outdoor seating area and wind was a bit too much to enjoy outside so we moved to an indoor heated space and that made for a more enjoyable meal. The weather certainly isn’t anything against the establishment and they offered a great alternative. Our server was really wonderful, very attentive and friendly. The food was good, portions were ample and priced good. We wished we’d had more of a view, but we had a view of a little bit of water and one of the bridges. The staff was phenomenal so this gets our vote!

    We had three appetizers, the Fried Clams, the She Crab Soup and the Escargot. All were wonderful, served with delicious warm French Country Bread to soak up the juices or eat with butter. We also had a Chardonnay and Riesling to pair with them. Then we had the Seared Scallops and the Filet both served with a side salad with great dressing, mixed vegetables, and scalloped potatoes. We swapped plates half way through, so we both had a bit of surf & turf. I changed my wine to Cabernet which was wonderful with the beef. We split Carmel pie for dessert also great.

    The seafood is excellent. The service is excellent. This is probably one of the best restaurants on the island. I would highly recommend this. I would say this would be a wonderful place to start your vacation and your vacation very romantic. I would say this wouldn’t be very good for children, but it is the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is beautiful.
