Our server Tyler was efficient , cordial , and just present enough. We went for brunch and the egg white ricotta pancakes were the best I have ever eaten. The burger my husband had looked outstanding. All this great food and gorgeous, panoramic views of the ocean make this a go to place if you’re down the shore.

Greta service and food. We loved the cocktail options, everyone was happy with their meal! The kale and Brussel sprouts salad was delish, and the tapenade. My scallops were perfect - I requested them well done and they were excellent!

We had a wonderful meal there. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Four of us shared a couple of apps and then each had an entree. No one was disappointed. We also shared two soufflé- if you can save room they were terrific. We also love that it’s BYOB.

We had the bacon and octopus appetizer and they were fabulous. The Caesar salad with salmon was ok, did not have a lot of flavor. The steak and lobster tail was very good as well as the table side bananas foster.

Food was really good! No! go you won’t be disappointed if you’re a seafood lover. For four of us was under 200 dollars. ( with tip included)
