Xander was an exceptional waiter and very knowledgeable about the menu and the history of the restaurant. With so many great-sounding items it was hard to choose. We picked the filet mignon medallions and cast iron scallops and both were great. The garlic bread and clam chowder were great starters too.

They mixed up our salad orders and took both of them back. When the next ones came out, one of them had a barcode label buried in it. Nobody’s perfect. Drinks were good. Great value.

Met friends for lunch, party of 4. We had eaten at this place before and glad we returned. Ordered appetizer calamari, which seemed a bit thinner not as meaty as last time but still tasty. Amongst the four of us we ordered chowder soup bread bowl, ceasar salad and swordfish entree, chicken club sandwich and each dish did not disappoint Service was consistent with quality of food and ambience . Overall would recommend

The location and water view are excellent. The food was well-prepared and tasty overall. Members of our party had the grilled shrimp. Pork sliders, club sandwich and spinach salad. I had the vegetable casserole and requested no salsa. It came with salsa, which made it too spicy for my taste.
