    Horrible. I live across the street and we went to dinner and had to wait even though we had a reservation. We were told we had to wait at the bar which we did upon entering the restaurant over half the tables are empty but full of dirty dishes and trash. After our appetizers, the food came, but all the plates were still on the table. They made us pile the plates up in the middle of the table, delivered our food, and then said the bus boy would come by and clear the dirty dishes, which never happened. I had to put them on the floor so we had room to eat. My ribs came without the sauce and when I asked for it, I waited until my food got cold and then asked about the sauce and they said they had run out but would I like some blue cheese dressing to put on my barbecue ribs. No apology no offer to have another dish and we never saw the waitress again until it was time to pay. I will never go back

    We went with a table of three, and all of us were disappointed in the size of the drinks (soda). We finished them before the meal even arrived. The food was good, although the crab cakes were mainly bread. The tuna was excellent. We will go again, but hopefully, they will change their beverage sizes and refill as needed.

    This a true SD hidden gem, everything from the welcoming smile of the hostess to the dinning room ambience, the light, the courtesy of the waiters and the quality of food is TOP ⭐️ We came because Charo was craving Lobster Roll and it was great, we also enjoyed the delicious clam chowder which we tried 1/2+1/2 (Red/White) and the NW fresh oysters were very nice and tasty. I ordered the pasta with asparagus, shrimp and scallops 🤌🏼✨ mmmm it was chef’s kiss good!

    Good food and bread! The miso butterfish was unimpressing. It was dry and had not been marinated enough if at all..
