   The food was lovely little cold near the windows and they should have candles or fake lights on the table very dark, but overall becoming his little great place

   Our food is consistently delivered hot, appealing, and in a timely manner. Everyone at the table truly enjoyed their food and the service was great! I highly recommend this restaurant not just because of the wonderful location and view, but the overall, complete experience!

   Two of us ordered steak tips. Very good. A little too salty. The third person ordered that haddock. It came raw in the middle and his mashed potatoes were cold.

   It was a beautiful day in mid October, so we were able to sit outside on the patio in the warm sunshine. Service was good and food was delicious. Entree prices were very reasonable. Cocktail prices are comparable with other restaurants.

    More informal than I expected from a restaurant with white tablecloths. It was quiet (at 5:30, when we arrived, but the noise level increased as more diners arrived. The clam chowder didn’t look or taste traditional at all: it included a whole deep-fried clam and half slice of bacon as garnishes. Didn’t look or taste right. I ate only half of the cup. The broiled scallops were flavorless, with a bread crumb topping that didn’t improve the dish. My wife liked her rare filet, as she had ordered. The cheesecake, with a few fresh strawberries, normally comes with caramel sauce too, which we nixed. The texture and flavor of the cheesecake seemed more like a supermarket purchase. The one saving grace: our servers were friendly and attentive. Plus our waitress didn’t charge me for the chowder. We gave her a good tip. We won’t be going back.
