    We came in for lunch with a party of 9 and were seated without a wait. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders shortly after we were seated. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and sides - sand dabs, shrimp tacos, clam chowder, shrimp salad, salmon salad, sweet potato fries, pineapple slaw were all wonderful! We all appreciated the separate checks and we will be back to try other entrees on the menu!

    Booked reservation here based on reviews since we were not familiar with area. The hostess was friendly and accommodating with our window seat request. Our waiter Michael was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. From oyster to dessert the food delivered. We ordered sable fish and seared scallops and both dinners were delicious. I highly recommend and would return if ever in the area again.
