in the last weekI made a reservation here for my and my husband's 11 yr anniversary and it made the evening well worth it. Food was sublime and our server Nancy was not only courteous and attentive, making sure that we liked our choice in drink and food, but was quick to give information that we might have not asked from dessert options not seen on small menu on table for winter selection to their usual desserts but also made us aware that the shrimp cocktail came with small salad sized shrimp (which was helpful for me as I only know of Hispanic style shrimp cocktail, still delicious regardless of preparation style and shrimp size). The staff was welcoming all around and let us know if there was a table opening sooner than our reservation time, since we got tired walking the shore sooner than anticipated. Portion sizes were well worth the prize, flavorful too! As I didn't need to add salt or pepper like I tend to, as a self described pepper addict, as the food was well balanced that I felt my usual love of pepper would be detrimental to the dish. Overall made our anniversary evening fun and memorable to our day out.

in the last weekFood was decent but I don't think it was worth the price. Service was good and the view is great but the furniture is old, giving it an outdated feel. It is overall just ok.

in the last weekIt was my first time visiting, and I had a wonderful experience. The view was beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious. What impressed me the most was the service — the staff were very friendly, patient, and attentive to us throughout our visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, a nice atmosphere, and warm hospitality. It truly makes you feel welcome and comfortable.

in the last weekThe place is beautiful, the view and the atmosphere. The scallops were really great. But when the main course came we were absolutely shocked because the crab was taken out of the fridge and dropped on the plate. It came out ice cold. And worst of they made it seem like it was our fault , they said we have to let them know if we want the crab hot! Like what ??!!!
