We had reservations but decided to sit and eat at the bar. Vince the bartender was very courteous and attentive with our drinks and meal to the point he deliciously modified our drinks to perfection. As always, the seafood bisque and onion soup were superb. We had ordered the short rib which was a little on the tough side and could have had a little more gravy to compliment it. Otherwise, a great place located on the water who are great hosts to locals, regulars, and first time diners
