    Overpriced lobster bisque with hardly any lobster and a weak greasy base. Menu needs an overhaul, food is lousy beer is flat. Go elsewhere

    Dinner was fantastic. From the crab dip appetizer to the entrees to the special puff pastry Valentines dessert. I had the stuffed salmon and my husband had the filet. Both were delicious and h could cut the filet with his fork. Our waiter, Alan, was great too. Attentive but not overbearing.

    Husband had chicken and waffles. Excellent. I had the farmer’s omelette. It was very good. “Fresh fruit” needs work. Daughter in law had crab cake Benedict. Said crab cakes were “OK” but definitely needed more hollandaise. Son had shrimp tacos which he said were excellent.

    I thought this was a real restaurant - but it's actually a bar. And not a very good one at that. The food was amateurish. The wine list was very limited. This place might be nice in the nice weather because of its location. But our server was a lovely young lady who we really liked
