daImmJanuary 9, 2018We stopped in and sat at the bar for a couple drinks and apps. We experienced excellent service and ordered crab cakes for a snack. I eat lots of crab cakes and would rank these among the best ever.
Debora HJanuary 28, 2019We love sitting on the outside deck overlooking the bay. The seafood is flavorful and fresh. The service is good and friendly. When they are busy there can be a wait just to see a waiter- Lin RMarch 14, 2018My husband had the cioppino and it had an abundance of sea food.We finished with the banana foster bread pudding because it is my favorite dessert. Loved the restaurant and the whole dining adventure
