The Reef is a gathering spot that captures the heart of the seadog in all of us.

Our versatile harborside space is great for intimate gatherings and large celebrations alike, yet casual enough for spontaneous come-as-you-are get-togethers.

We celebrated our son’s graduation from naval chaplaincy school here. Everything was wonderful! Our server was so friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We had a corner table with a great view of the water. There were quite a few other groups in our area, so the noise level did rise a bit, but we could still have comfortable conversation. At the end of our meal, our server brought a card to our son, signed by the staff, congratulating him on his accomplishment! I definitely recommend The Mooring for any occasion!

I booked a table for my wife's birthday. The place was very busy, but the staff made us feel very welcome. When we sat at our table there was a happy birthday card signed by all the staff, which was such a great touch to the dinning experience. The staff were amazing and super friendly and they knew that someone at the table had a birthday! When it comes to the cocktails and the food, everything was outstanding and priced at great prices! We would 10/10 visit again and again!
