    This is a very pleasant place to have lunch with a great view over the marina and the ocean. The salads are good and the calamari is outstanding. They also do shrimp well. Construction of a new parking garage in the middle of the existing large parking lot is complicating access for a few more months but it is worth the effort to go.

    Food was outstanding. I had salmon and my hubby had the filet mignon sliders. Friendly attentive service. And a great view of the harbor! What’s not to like? Hope this restaurant returns in the renovated harbor.

    Lovely experience. The hostess was welcoming and took us to a lovely table looking over the boats. Our waiter, Kade? was efficient, energetic, got all of our orders correct and timely and seemed to love his job. The food was great (we all ordered different items). My husband had the chowder and sliders, I had the walnut/cheese/cranberry salad with salmon and our friend had coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was some of the best ever (he shared). We will go back when we are in the neighborhood!
