After making a 7pm reservation on Open Table for Saturday, we drove 55 minutes only to find this restaurant did not honor reservations on weekends, in fact, the manager/owner told us he doesn’t even open his Open Table to accept reservations and he said he informed Open Table of that. I could not rate This restaurant on Open Table because we never got to eat there. Since my husband is a diabetic, we could not wait the 1-2 hours we were told it would take to get a table.
Great spot. New owners working hard to keep it that way.
The restaurant is relatively new, and a lot of new work needs to be done. A service could be improved. One of my guests had to send her meal back, it was the lobster roll supposed to be served on a potato roll.It was not. She ordered clams and pasta which tooth so long to get to us and we really had to leave. Ordering the drinks from the table was very slow. We hope there will be an improvement and we plan to go back.
I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant. It was completely empty when I went, which is concerning for a seafood place located in such a prime waterfront location. It’s so lacking in customers that they even let the nearby restaurant use their parking lot for valet service. This establishment used to be family-owned and a summer favorite, so it’s disheartening to see how far it has fallen. Save yourself the trouble, the money, and the risk to your stomach. Choose any other restaurant for a tasty seafood dinner.
Stunning views and delicious food! I would definitely return more often with friends and family. Thank you once again!
