One person in our party ordered the shrimp gnocchi. The gnocchi arrived at our table and was terribly undercooked. It was hard and not at all palatable. The server took it back to the kitchen to get it replaced. After everyone at our table was finished eating, the replacement meal arrived. It was okay, however we decided to just get it to go. The point is, no one from management came to our table to explain what happened or offer even a complimentary dessert or drink for the total inconvenience. We were not looking for anything for nothing, but it would have been nice if the gesture would have presented itself. We will not return.

Unpleasantly surprised… with the description of “refined dining upstairs” I definitely expected a certain level of service and quality. The first thing our server told us was that the soup is terrible “only one old lady liked it and I don’t think she had taste buds”… seriously? We ordered the lobster corndogs- they were the best out of everything. I had tuna au poivre and it just tasted like peppercorns, no other flavor. Tasted like frozen tuna that was still mostly cold. My husband had the short ribs and they were better but lacking in flavor and cold… Disappointed for sure.

In a word, excellent restaurant for dinner or for lunch. The refined seating choice provided a calming view of the ocean. Our waiter, Michael, was truly a pleasure. Informative, courteous and a terrific sense of humor. The food was delicious, the presentation was excellent and we could not have been more happy with the dinner. We were too full to try dessert even though tempted. Very good wine selection really enhanced the dinner. Highly recommend to anyone.

I had a reservation for 8:00 pm & wasn’t seated until 8:30 pm. It took too long for food & drinks. One appetizer did not come with the others. I had spring breakers & wanted to introduce them to fine dining. This was not the experience, unfortunately.
