    Terrific food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Just a really nice place to eat imaginative but unpretentious, tasty-as-hell food.

I had a Black Manhattan cocktail, supposedly differing from an ordinary Manhattan by use of a different kind of bitters (Amaro) and "filthy cherries." These seemed like basic good quality maraschinos to me (3); nothing "filthy" about them. Nevertheless it was good, fruity, and ample strength. The appetizer selection was small and heavy on bread-based items. (No free table bread was available - grrrr.) Most didn't appeal but the Roasted Garlic did, served with bread (2 kinds: a toasted crostini and a fresh crusty sourdough). The garlic was a whole head, sliced open for easy access and presented on a very hot plate, sweet and mellow from long slow roasting, and served with a choice of cheeses (molten blue, brie, whipped feta, or chèvre) - I chose chèvre and it was very good and a generous portion. A very simple dish not often encountered in restaurants. In retrospect this was the best part of the meal. I felt a little rushed at times and impatient at other times. It took a very long time to get the appetizer so I had nothing to dilute the effects of the strong cocktail. But then more than once I was asked about my entree before I was ready; once when ordering the appetizer and another time soon after I received it and hadn't made up my mind yet. I held my ground and told them I wasn't quite ready, and they accepted that and I took my time eating. There was an eclectic selection of wines by the glass. I had an interesting rosé from Slovenia. My entree was a roasted fish filet (halibut I think? It's no longer listed on the menu) served over a tomato-based sauce. This sauce was richly scented and complex and the plate was attractively garnished with micro greens. But the fish was on the small side and the flavor was monotonous - no discernible browning on the top. The other component, probably an herby cucumber-yogurt sauce resembling raita, which should have been a cool complement to the hot tomato broth, instead was melting unattractively and dispersing into it. Perhaps most disappointing, there was nothing else to this dish. It needed a starch or something (rice, boiled potatoes, or even more of those very good breads from the appetizer - wish I had saved some.) So it's good I got the appetizer first, or I would have left rather hungry. Desserts were also very limited and most didn't appeal. I decided on the Clafouti, which is a baked tart, thicker and heavier than flan, with fruit (black cherries) It was way too hot, didn't have enough fruit, and ice cream would be a far better choice than the amorphous blob of whipped cream it was served with. I should have skipped dessert. It was so boring. As for ambience: it's a crowded, noisy place but in a pleasing way. Very small, and I had reserved one of the 6 seats at the bar (I was dining solo). It's whimsically decorated, like with the grape-covered nude statue holding a candle. There was attractive artwork on the walls, some of which I believe was for sale. I did detect smoky odors coming from the kitchen that other reviewers have noted but I consider that a positive thing, not a negative. So come here if you wish. Check it out and form your own opinion. As for me, I wasn't sufficiently impressed and wouldn't return.

Thankfully we made it for their last open weekend for 2021! Service was extremely friendly - and we learned a ton about the winery and their practices. My husband listened to a podcast about the winery (which is why we'd wanted to visit), and the owner used to plow only using a horse. They have since switched to more modern ways - but I love that their wines are all-natural and with as minimal intervention as possible. The wines themselves are fantastic!! We had a 1/2 pour of each of the six offerings (sparkling white morphos, sparkling rose morphos, Chardonnay, cab franc, merlot and a cider) and I truly was surprised to find they are all GREAT!!! The sparkling white and Chardonnay were my favorites, but the reds were nice and dry and full of flavor. The cider was also dry and tart - it is lovely! The rose morphos was a bit too sweet for me, but tasty nonetheless! We will absolutely be back next time we are in the area!

    Fifth or sixth time here, mostly because I forgot it was only ok. Food is ok. After you're seated,…read moreservice is ok. BUT they let you stand in the hot sun in front of what seems like the door, they clearly see you standing there, but they don't tell you to enter from the side until 10 minutes have gone by. Takeaway: enter from the side. And then, if you're one of the MILLIONS of people who can't eat mayonnaise based sauces, then you're out of luck, especially if you want one of the specials, because they will not leave the aioli off the special. Even though it's a sauce at the bottom of the plate. No, sorry. I mean, Le Bernardin doesn't do that unnecessarily pretentious stuff. Only average. Except the stuffy attitude. Will pass next time.

    In the end, the food absolutely overcame the distraction of the dysfunctional check-in process and…read morethe length of time for the meal due to the kitchen being backed up. I frankly almost left after 15-20 minutes of standing at the host stand with no one to help. The crowd was growing restless to say the least and no one really seemed to care at 18 Central. Once seated inside, I was drawn to the view out the back of the restaurant over Rockport Harbor. Pretty amazing to say the least. The food then turned the tide. From the country pate to the scallop crudo to, of course, the oysters, the food was excellent! The entrees got rave reviews, as well, with the BBQ chicken with a jerk flavor being go flavorful and savory. The fried chicken with a bit of heat also was a crowd pleaser,and finally, the steak frites were done very well. Personally, I also loved their cocktail and wine menu, which had some innovation without trying to be too off the beaten path. Overall, I would go back, but I would book earlier in the evening and come with my patience in tow.

Perfect to watch the boats and free water taxi coming and going. Our waitress was very busy. We didn't see much of her, but she did a nice job for having so many tables. We tried the clam chowder. Way think and rich. I'd love to see more clams, but only because I like mine full. There was plenty in the bowl though. Needed a little more salt & pepper, but I like that it doesn't come out over seasoned so we can fit our taste buds. Husband had the 1.5lb lobster . He said it was really good. He said he needed at 3lb to be full. French fries were crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft in the center. The way I love them. I ordered the "fried" haddock Ruben. I ordered mine broiled instead. Perfectly toasted marble rye bread. The fish was pretty buttery and not a large piece of fish. Maybe a little too much for my personal liking. But the haddock had good flavor and texture. Slaw was ok. Felt like it needed a distinct flavor to make it pop! 3 bean salad was really good though. Lobster was $35. I felt like that wasn't a bad price. Overall, I'd stop in for lunch again.
