Had a nice, quiet evening here last week and a terrific dinner. There is plenty of free parking and the restaurant is right on the harbor. There was live music the night we were there. There is a great wine list and specialty cocktails. If you sit at the bar, you can watch sports on one of the many televisions. The service was very attentive and pleasant. We will be back.

We have been coming here for years on Sunday afternoon. The music is good. The menu needs an update. While good the options are rather limited. I like the omelette but no matter what I say they always add cheese. I don’t reorder because it takes too long since my wife already has her food. They also need more staff. I will be back but there is room for improvement.

Great service and location. The food is good but can be improved. A very good wine list. Being at the edge of water is a plus for view and temperature ( given the last few days are in the high 90s and 100s.

Seated on the Patio- the sunset over the harbor was nice, and the live music was decent. The service was not good- our waiter forgot both of our orders and we had to ask repeatedly for basics like bread and water. Food was marginal at best. Will not be returning.

Server Shavana was great. Clam chowder was like chicken noodle soup without the noodles. Very thin with little to no clams or potatoes. When they took them back they returned with soap so thick you could have filled cracks in cement. They did not charge us for our soups after our complaints. Lasagna has some kind of rope mesh in one serving. Restaurant was mostly empty. I now know why.
