    Great place for dinner. Group of 6. Business dinner. Reservation was available only an hour ahead. Food waa great. Good variery and quality. The mussels were so tasty. I talented both the bisque and the chowder and would order again. Our waitress was phenomenal. Cocktails were a little slow out of the bar, but all else was well.

    Nice looking place, poor everything else - I came in a couple minutes after my husband and mom and let the hostess stand know (four ladies huddled together and one man). I asked if I could just go in and look for them the man backed away slowly and took off. One of the ladies said yes. I found my mom and husband and they said they had a similar experience. Gravy was over the top on the steak frites and I had a Lemoncello spritz that was really watery. If you like McCormicks I’d go with another near by location.

    Everything was excellent including fried oysters, grilled oysters, the broiled seafood platter. apple pie, and brown cake. Exceptional plating with the desserts. We had a glass of wine and red wine as well. Spot on service. We were given plenty of time to socialize. Prices as expected.

    This was my 2nd visit to M&S visiting the harbor. The food and quality of the dishes and drinks were excellent but there are some things that could improve upon. I believe the service should be worked upon throughout the staff. If you’re charging guests $50+ a meal you’d expect servers to have a smile on their face, regular check ins to ask how we’re doing, and frequent water refills. Food was good - stick to the seafood dishes though my steak was exceptionally chewy. Overall I’d still come back here a 3rd time but I hope management sees this.
