I visited this restaurant for Sunday brunch and began with a coffee, but after just one sip, I decided I couldn't drink it—it was truly terrible. We waited nearly an hour before our order was taken, and the menu had very few options, with prices that seemed excessive. Nothing on the menu seemed enticing, so I opted for the home fries. It took about 45 minutes to get them, and they were only mediocre. I also asked for a glass of water with lemon, which I never received. My neighbor ordered a Caesar salad, and it did look quite good.

My wife and I had crab melt sandwich's for lunch, which was very good.. The View of the water was beautiful and relaxing... However, I am not a fan when I get deceived.. Since it was lunch, I went with a soda as my drink, to keep the costs low... They provided me with a glass filled to the rim with Ice and barely any soda... Sucked it down in like 2 seconds... She asked if I wanted another, I said sure, not knowing they were going to charge me $3 for each one... So between me and my wife, we paid $12 for soda...Maybe half a can worth. Most places charge free-refills. Then when I order the crab-melt, on the menu it said it came with French fries and coleslaw. The waitress asked if I wanted regular, sweet -potato or Jersey fries steak fries). I said, oh I like Steak Fries... She didn't explain to us that it was an up-charge of $3. : The meal was great, I just don't like the dishonesty.. I would just beware of the hidden costs that aren't explained to you.
First time there, but definitely not the last! It was a great experience, excellent food (I had the Waldorf salad), and terrific service even though there were 26 of us for lunch. Our waitress never missed a beat! She was very efficient and patient, and handled all the orders as if each was the only one she had to take care of.
