    Great waiters! A little noisy because of a baby shower going on in the main dining room.

    I had not been in years so we decided to try with the family. Bottom line is that it’s overpriced for food that was just ok. There are plenty better places in the area.

    Had a great server who ordered our food promptly. We had a six year old who was very impatient. Great family restaurant which is a good value. Parking is somewhat difficult.

    We sat outside in an igloo. Like a private dining room. It was cold outside, but warm in the igloo. Food, service, and value we're all excellent - as always. But sitting outside fixed the one gripe we had always had - too noisy. Sitting in the igloo made it perfect!

    I always love this restaurant . The choice is excellent and everything is first rate. Dining in the outside pods is so private and comfortable. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience, either lunch on weekends or dinner.

    Really wanted to like it but overall "mid" experience. Calamari undercooked, oysters tiny and clam chowder needed more flavor. Looks like they do large parties here a lot and it shows. :-(
