    We arrived late but it was not a concern for the Mooring staff. One suggestion, on the reservation add a telephone number that you can call to tell them you are running late. The number given does not connect to a real person, and is only informative. Food was great as usual. Please do not sell out to Nicholas S.

    The Boat House never fails to impress! The food was excellent with generous portions, along with a great atmosphere at “The most wonderful time of the year!” Our server JP was wonderful and was very attentive. One of our other favorites, bartender/server Faithe was also nice enough to come over to our table to greet us as well. It’s nice to go someplace “where everybody knows your name.” This is one of our go to spots as there is never a question in mind about what you are in for!

    We took Dad to lunch to celebrate his 95th birthday. The restaurant and all the staff went out of their way to make him feel special with welcoming birthday wishes. Our server was excellent and even treated Dad to Baked Alaska dessert, flaming rum and all, to mark the occasion. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and it made for a wonderful celebration. Thank you so much!
