8 people in party. Dimly lit area we were placed, lacked air circulation. Server knew little about food; had to keep probing for info. Food came out in stages and was luke warm. Food online pictures were not representative of what we actually got. Food lacked flavor, pasta overdone.not enough varierty of fish in dishes. Chewy meat in rueben sandwich. The 2 alcoholic drinks and 2 dessert were delish! Overall food was overpriced! Highly unlikely we would go back and highly unlikely would we recommend it to others.

The salmon was excellent. The potatoes were perfectly sauteed and cooked. I got there not too long after they opened, so I go to sit on the patio giving me a nice view when I ate. The patio is closed in, so no problem with the chilly weather.

nothing we ordered was worth eating again or the price. Not sure if we just ordered all the wrong things but it has been awhile since I’ve encountered such a disappointing dining experience. Unfamiliar with the area and just visiting, the reviews of this place seemed promising but the food quality was subpar. Some items were bland and tasteless. Others inedible. The margherita flatbread was hardly restaurant quality as it was essentially a pita with sauce and watery mozzarella melted. My friend was not able to finish her crab soup as the meat tasted funky. Idk this place has me stumped. The menu sounds very good but the execution is questionable.

Nice view of the water. The service was good but the food was about average. Worth a visit to decide for yourself I think my experience is not the norm.
