We asked to take one of the tables outside in the front. About 2 3 minutes after being told that we could grab one of the outside tables (all were empty, most of the inside empty as well), as we were sitting down, the owner came outside and yelled that 's it, we 're closed, without explanation. Obviously, they were not closed. There were a few people inside still eating, and the bar was open. I asked the owner for an explanation, and he just said again, we 're closed. I went inside to further get an explanation, because I believe we deserved that after he told us to grab a table. Again, we 're closed, literally standing around customers still eating. After I walked out, as my family was walking down the street, owner came outside and yelled you 're an a**hole. I yelled back I have my kids with me. His response was yeah, you 're still an a**hole. Never once raised my voice. Just wanted an explanation when it was clear he was treating us differently. Disgusting. I can 't believe this guy is allowed to run a business. No one should go here. Ever. The owner is out of control.

We were lucky to find this place a quiet gem. Tucked away on a busy street in downtown Greenport, we were greeted with a smile and a friendly greeting, please come in have a seat and get warm, we will be right with you! And so we did, as we were in the middle of a cold snap, 22 degrees). After ordering our drinks hot tea, and a ginger ale) We started with the shrimp appetizer, Fantastic! My Wife have the battered Chicken in a basket and I had the soft shell crab sandwich. The chicken was fresh, honey based batter with a beet,red cabbage coleslaw and curly French fries. My soft shell cab was lightly fried to perfection. The red cabbage cold slaw was crispy and delicious. The lunch was exceptional the price was very reasonable and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly! Thank you Sharon for making our visit feel like family stopping by for a bite to eat!

No problem at all. I said we will be there early the next week. On a Monday, I called to make a reservation for a Tuesday and they said they were closed for a wedding. I didn’t expect that. Then I asked for Wednesday for 11 of us. When my family arrived, we were being seated at three different small tables. I asked, “ can’t we put two tables of 4 together atleast”? I was told “no”. There were so many empty tables at this time. I don’t know how they accommodated a wedding, but I was so very disappointed as I had a nice conversation with the woman originally. My granddaughter was looking forward to the dinner.Since Front Street Station refused accommodate us together, we left disappointed. Eventually, we found a nice Italian restaurant around the corner. and they were so welcoming and accommodating and the food was great!
