Between the three of us, we ordered the mussels, seafood soup, pork belly, caramelized scallops, halibut, octopus, and more mussels. Every dish was delicious, expertly prepared, and well worth the price on the menu. I would highly recommend making a reservation and arriving around sunset. The atmosphere is perfect, the drinks are strong, and the overall dining experience made our celebration memorable. We will definitely be back.

My sister ordered the broiled seafood combo and I ordered the bacon horseradish scallops with a side of spaghetti. For appetizers, we split a wedge salad and shared a calamari. Salad was fresh and was constructed as most wedges are. Calamari was breaded nicely , but the marinara was delicious as I have ever had . Prices were fair . The decor was a taste of each decade(5) they have been in business, cluttered but I enjoy this style. Both entrees were prepared flawlessly, although my sisters meal was a step above mine When I am back in the area , I will definitely be back to try more of the menu .

The food overall is pretty decent too! I've been here a few times so far and I've liked most of what I ate. To get it out of the way, there are two duds: the Nashville Chicken and the Truffle Potato Wedges. The Nashville Chicken is cooked well but was boring and lacked any flavor (did they forget the sauce when I tried it?). The truffle potato wedges are a little more interesting but it was such a small portion that it's almost pointless to get it. Fortunately, the rest of the food is much better. The dinner menu is a stronger showing. We loved the French Onion Soup, the turkey pot pie, the kielbasa sandwich, and the blueberry cobbler all knock it out of the park. They're all cooked perfectly, portioned well, and have strong flavors. I can wholly recommend all those dishes. I can definitely recommend coming here for dinner. It's a very well run restaurant with good food.

The physical appearance of the restaurant is lovely however, all the panoramic windows were open with screens so it was a little breezy and cool. You can't actually see the ocean because the restaurant is located behind the pool. We were greeted upon walking in and had our choice of tables as there was only one other occupied table. Our server Leonard was very amiable and tried hard to please. We ordered cocktails, an espresso martini and a margarita both which were pretty good. After taking some time to look at the food choices, I ordered a cup of clam chowder and we both opted for the grilled chicken BLT. Our waiter then told us that there was no grilled chicken available, only blackened chicken for tacos. this rings an alarm bell and tells me that the chicken and probably most of the menu offerings are frozen and not freshly prepared. If a menu item is not available I would think it would be disclosed when the menus are first presented. I understand that sometimes a restaurant runs out of popular items, but like I said, the place was empty. I settled on the Smashburger with fries and my friend opted for the Bistro Bacon Smashburger with chips. The food came out fairly quickly. The clam chowder which was ordered very hot was served warm at best although it was flavorful. My Smashburger was way overcooked. My friend's bistro burger was served with fries instead of the chips ordered, however, the fries were good. I also just noticed that there is a 2 1/2% credit card surcharge. I guess that's common in restaurants. The restaurant supervisor did stop by the table just to greet us and ask if everything was OK. We did mention being disappointed that there was no chicken available for which she apologized. Will I be going back? Probably not. There are too many better choices for my money.

The vibes outside are fun and it's right on the water. There was a dj playing that night as well. Since the outside does not take reservations our group of 8 had to wait about 90 mins for a table. We were able to get a drink from the bar while we waited. Overall the food was good but it gets very busy outside on the weekends. Be prepared to wait a while.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. We arrived…read morearound 5:30 PM and waited nearly an hour to be seated. When we finally were, we were placed at a "couch table" where the table itself was so low that we had to completely bend over just to eat. We were also seated directly next to the DJ's speaker, making it nearly impossible to hear each other throughout the meal. The service only made things worse. Our entrees were completely forgotten, including two sushi orders. At first, we were told the sushi bar was "backed up," but we watched multiple tables that ordered after us receive several rolls while we continued waiting. Our waitress also seemed to avoid our table while we were waiting for an update. After another 25 minutes, we finally asked to cancel the sushi. The manager then came over and told us our order had actually been delivered to the wrong table. She then joked that she "hoped they were allergic to it," which was an incredibly strange and inappropriate comment to make. Nothing was offered or comped to make up for the situation, and two people in our party ultimately left without ever receiving their entrees. What should have been a simple dinner turned into a two-and-a-half-hour ordeal. Between the hour-long wait, uncomfortable seating, extremely loud music, forgotten food, lack of communication, and the way the situation was handled, we unfortunately won't be returning.
