Went for New Year’s Day lunch. Good and service were great! Our server recommended his favorites and we went with a few of them and they were delicious! Got the calamari and hot crab dip with pita which everyone enjoyed! Seafood was cooked on point and our group loved the house made pasta dishes as well! Definitely be back for more!!

Had a lovely dinner with the family on Christmas Eve. Our service was fabulous, the food was delicious and the ambience was festive and comfortable. It had been about 35 years since we were there last time - much has changed. We kept it simple with ordering calamari (so fresh!), pizza (surprisingly fantastic and so much pepperoni!), salads (huge and fresh) and fish and chips (crunchy and light and mounds of chips). We plan to return again very soon!

Why have we never gone there? Blown away by the food. We had Oyster Rockefeller, seafood chowder and grouper for the main course. We split the main dish and it was brought out separately for us. Nice selection of wine. Waitress was superb. We will be back for sure.
