    Very good dining experience made even better by the gorgeous view. Staff were friendly and food was very good. We chose a Dine Out Boston meal since it was featured then. My shrimp scampi had a little kick to it, which was terrific. my husband’s fish and chips were OK—he prefers a thicker fish but it was good. Again, the ambiance is the real feature with this restaurant.
