    The lobster was delicious. The steak only so-so. Service was slow but very polite and courteous. If you go, go for the view and old school ambience.

    The outdoor area is a beautiful setting for cocktails and ambiance. Our dining experience left a lot to be desired. Service staff was novice and inexperienced. Orders were not taken still at one time, drinks were forgotten and the table wasn’t cleared between courses until we asked. The food itself left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately we won’t return except for drinks out by the water . Exceptional view but dissatisfied with food and service !

    It’s really a shame. This restaurant is located on a piece of beachfront property so there is an incredible opportunity to offer a great experience here. Unfortunately the food is terrible. It’s a step below something you would receive at a restaurant like the 99. The service was also painfully slow, despite the restaurant being mostly empty.

    Beautiful view, excellent service. Our server, Ivan, was attentive and efficient. The food - so so. Overcooked, over-salted and cold. I’d go again but stick with an app or salad.

    Clam chowder was bland. Halibut en croute was lukewarm and served over overcooked risotto with a sauce that had congealed. Waiter never brought bread, never checked back on us, never brought requested glass of wine. What a disappointment.
