    Kincaid’s offers a great dining experience with stunning bay views. The menu features quality seafood and steak options, with standout dishes like prime rib and lobster bisque. Service is excellent, and the ambiance is inviting. I had the 7oz filet medium rare—cooked perfectly. The martini was fantastic, and I closed with a well-portioned affogato. Overall, a great meal in a beautiful setting.

    We had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day at Mistral - we hadn't been in years and just live down the street. The prix fixe menu was lovely, and there was plenty of choice for us. Food was all well-prepared - I especially enjoyed my lobster risotto, and my husband especially enjoyed his poached pear salad. The service was lovely, too, and we really loved sitting out on the patio by the fireplace and under the heat lamps. Our only comment is that we still find the price to be a bit high. But we still enjoyed ourselves!
