    We paid the extra $15 per person to sit as close to the water as possible, which was nice. Service was very slow, but our waiter was very friendly. The food was just ok all around. Also, planes were flying over head every couple of minutes as the restaurant is on the landing path to the airport. We would not go back.

    We enjoyed our night. We did the waterfront experience with the dozen roses, the waitress brought us on the house glass of wine for the special occasion and they also provided blankets for my fiancé because it was a tad cool by the water! Over all the night was amazing a the scenic views made it that much more enjoyable! We will definitely be for future anniversary dates

    Although I love sitting outside by the waterfront, it’s very windy so we had to eat our food quickly before it got cold. Probably best to sit inside on a windy day. Otherwise, great experience.

    The entry was the worst with 2 rude and entitled teenagers at the door . Not sure why the least experienced and obnoxious people are set to greet you I am totally disappointed with this place which had held many memories Everything was a n argument and challenge Passive aggressive behavior They would not give us our table and Kept stressing we should sit inside! Even though manytables were empty and remained empty until our departure The server was warm even though I had to remind several people to finally get my wine to me I had notated on reservation and at the door it’s my friends bday no acknowledgment nothing / she was very disappointed Love the restaurant not sure I will have the stomach to tolerate all this again for a while
