While I enjoyed my crab cakes, I found the price a bit high and our server extremely slow and not attentive. I was very obvious he had a repeat customer or friend he was serving as he spent a lot of time chatting with that table of four. This was on the patio about 7pmish on June 20th. Poor service!

I visit this area every year and eat at this restaurant almost every night I am there. Have never had a bad meal. The crab cakes are like none you have ever had and the scallops are cooked perfectly. Lobster bisque? Fantastic. Service, atmosphere, excellent food. What else could you ask for?

Food was subpar, but our waitress was really great! Friendly and welcoming; I waitressed for 10 yrs and I can’t stress enough that the food quality is not the waitstaff’s fault. Got the top recommended steak on the menu and it wasn’t good at all. Sides and steak had absolutely no seasoning on them, Like not a drop of seasoning whatsoever. For almost a $70 tab with 2 ppl and no alcoholic drinks and no appetizers-we were disappointed.
