    Sat at an outside table on Mother’s Day and had a great experience. The food and service were excellent and the view was beautiful. We didn’t feel rushed and there was plenty of room between tables. I would definitely recommend it and we will be back. Thank you for a great day!

    Sitting by the Great South Bay on a warm spring evening was the perfect setting for a delicious casual dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. A favorite place!
