    Noise level due to 3 piece band made it difficult to converse, but everything else was great.

    Charming place with lovely water views. It was clean and the service was friendly. We visited on a Sunday night in April and it was quiet. I enjoyed a Caesar salad and the salmon. It was a generous portion and tasted amazing!

    My son and I went to dinner here on a saturday night. There was a party with live music going on downstairs. We sat in the sports bar, ordered drinks and dinner. We had the fish tacos and claim ravioli. They were both very good. They also have a nice happy hour selection. We plan to come back and try it out again when it's warmer and we can sit on the patio which overlooks the water.

    We were there for a very early dinner….were seated at a table with a beautiful view of the water. All ordered cocktails that were great. A special food offering of salad, appetizer, entree, and dessert was available and each course was delivered timely and was delicious. Our server was Jacob and he was outstanding. We were celebrating a special reunion of Boston College and Wake Forest University friends and Rocks 21 made it a memorable one! Thanks!

    My first time there. Alas, disappointing. Sent back Guiness beef stew which was extremely salty and mostly gravy—very little beef. They replaced with New England style clam chowder. Again, very salty and herby and starchy with few clams. Clam chowders should be clam-forward. Drinks very pricy. My one short bourbon and Pepsi (yuck), clam chowder and tip came to $30!
