    We really enjoy this restaurant and the owner John is always there to make sure things go smoothly. We started with the tuna nachos which were amazing. I then had the scallops and capri ravioli which was also really good. My wife ordered the pasta rigate with a lobster tail on top. Unfortunately it was not very good at all, even the lobster tail wasn’t great. We really enjoy this place, but won’t be getting that meal again.

    The service was excellent! Everyone was helpful and friendly. Our server even took a picture for us and made our first time impressionable. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! It was the perfect date! One for the books.

    The lobster Mac and cheese was very dry and over seasoned. The salmon was overcooked and just in general didn’t taste good. Brussel sprouts had good seasoning but the outside was cooked/burnt and the inside hard and not cooked at all. The atmosphere was fine but just not impressed with this place.

    We have enjoyed this reataurant each time we visit. If you love oysters, these are flown in FRESH several times a week. You feel as if you are in Maine when you eat them! The staff is wonderful and worth a GOOD TIP! We especially love coming here on Valentine’s Day. We have done so for several years and decided THIS is where we will celebrate each year! The owner, John Melody is very personable and professional in his dealings with his customers. He goes out of his way to make sure you are taken care of no matter what the situation might be! Thanks to John & his staff for another wonderful dining experience. See you soon!

    The ambiance was beautiful, and the service was great. I ordered the chicken Marquette and it was 10/10 one of the best meals I've ever ordered at a restaurant and I will definitely be going back!

    The oysters and octopus were excellent appetizers and the entrees were also very good. My only negative comment is that the Halibut in the daily special was slightly over. It was a shame that the protein was not perfectly cooked.

    Wonderful setting with great food served by friendly people. In addition, I like the access in the middle of winter being able to park and walk in directly from this shelter setting.
