đź‘Ťđź‘Ť We enjoyed the dining experience at this restaurant. I had haddock, and my wife had scallops. We had a shrimp appetizer. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The garden salad was good, and their thousand island dressing is one of the best I've ever had. Jenna was a great server. The food was delicious. We will definitely put this restaurant on our list to return to.
This was the worst experience I'd ever encountered at a restaurant! I arrived at 7:15pm. I was told the wait was 15-20 minutes. After checking twice with the hostess, we were seated at 8pm. By this time, the crowd disappeared, and the live music ended. We were greeted by Kristopher, with what can I get you all to drink. No introduction, no apology for the wait (which he was aware of). No, if this was our first time. Just short rude service. I asked about a dish that was on the website menu. Kristopher replied, that wasn't their menu. After showing him the menu on my phone. He said "oh we don't have that". We proceeded to order from the menu before us. After several (9-10) minutes, our drinks(2) arrived. One of them was water. I was disappointed, because the restaurant was nearly empty by now. Kristopher set them down and went back inside the restaurant. As we dined on the patio. The view was nice. It overlooked a body of water and a plethora of restaurants and shops. Finally, Kristopher came back to take our order. Our food took so long, Kristopher brought us a side order of French fries to snack on. I asked Kristopher, was this kind of service normal. He replied, "the kitchen was being stupid, that's all". I didn't know what that meant. Meanwhile, our food arrived at 8:40. The oysters were steamed, and we ordered Rockefeller. They were taken back, and spinach dip(it seemed) was placed on top and reheated. The oysters were tough, to say the least. The dish looked sloppy(see pic). We also ordered a seafood pasta dish, which was bland and unimpressive. By this time, there were only about three other tables seated. They all had their food. We received our bill. I was very reluctant to leave a tip, but forced myself to give 50% of what I would have given with good service. I was tempted to contact the manager, but thought I would just share my experience here.
9/23: Another great lunch today. Excellent service and nice views. They have really good clam chowder. The fish tacos were excellent as well as the lunch fish & chips. Great lunch today. Our server was Pam and she couldn’t have been nicer. Delicious clam chowder, baked haddock and husband had whole belly clams. We both felt like we were back in New England!
It was fairly pricey for the quantity of food given but it was tasty. The crab cake was shaped like a hockey puck, whereas traditionally I'm more familiar with a sort of lumpy dome. They were good though with a decent amount of crab. The drinks were on point as well. Make a reservation or you'll be waiting, it gets crowded as it often has live music. The atmosphere is good, relaxed and they offer deck seating along the water. They do have a parking lot but the golf carts take up a lot of the spaces.
Nice lunch. More waiting than I wanted but overall was Ok in the end. Good food, servers very friendly and attentive.
