    What a great find on the water, watching the boats going by on the canal. Service and food including coffee was exceptional. Had shrimp cocktail, large shrimp and New England clam chowder, so satisfying. Found restaurant on Trip Advisor and it was a wonderful lunch. The Village shopping area is fun with lots of clothing shops!

    We have been going to Fathoms, formerly The Joint for over 15 years. We were very disappointed when they canceled the Wednesdays Half Priced Pizza Night. So, when we heard it was back we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. We were able to even request the an inside table in the corner. One thing, that could be improved is the noise level, it can get very difficult to hear without shouting. Also, our server Brandan was excellent in accommodating our requests. Thanks again Fathoms for a wonderful dining experience.

    Our hostess was very helpful in putting us in a booth in the area that used to be El Nico. Wonderful seating. Our server was also very attentive. I ordered the blackened shrimp which cane with grits, but she was willing to substitute. Delicious. My husband ordered the chicken with marinara but the pasta was mush. Not good. Iur guests ordered the cod and said it was very tasty. The french bread was warm and delicious.

    I started with a Bloody Mary, very good just the right spice. I enjoyed my steak and eggs, cooked just the way I like and very good. The avocado toast is very good and very filling, the cheese is good enough to eat just by itself. We will be back.
