    Had a great Sunday afternoon meal at the Mooring. Nick and Mark are top-notch bartenders, who know how to converse with their clientele while making sure everyone is taken care of, even when things got very busy. The Sole Milanese and Cod & Chourico entrees were outstanding!

    Our experience was fantastic! The octopus carpaccio was bursting with flavor, tuna poke was delicious, and lobster roll & tuna specials were amazing. Service was excellent too! We love seafood and we were not disappointed.

    We went to The Mooring for my birthday. As a NRG member I learned that they took off my entree from the tab. Woohoo! A better perk than I was expecting. Dinner was great, but our server (Ireland) was even better. Very nice. Very prompt, but not pushy. And she put in my husband’s special cooking request and it came back perfect. We sat ‘outside’ where you could easily stay on your own OR chat with your neighbors. We chatted - just a bit - and it was very pleasant. I highly recommend dining here!
