    The Mussel appetizer was fresh, generous and tasty. The mussels were VERY large, the broth was buttery, smooth with the right touch of white wine; the crusty dipping bread was perfect. The swordfish entree with orzo salad was delicious. Our server, Stephanie was pleasant, professional and appropriately attentive.

    Always a favorite of ours. Window table on the enclosed deck was great, as was our server Sara. Food, as always, was delicious.

    We had to wait 20 minutes even with a reservation. They clearly took too many walk in’s while fully ignoring the reserved parties, as that’s the whole point of a reservation. And then our food took well over an hour to come out while we saw several tables who sat 30 minutes after us get theirs first. Our waitress didn’t even come to take our order for 20 minutes.

    I recently dined at Tuscan Sea Bar with a group of friends, and the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the atmosphere was inviting and the service was attentive, my personal meal fell short—it was disappointingly bland and lacked flavor. However, the rest of my party seemed to enjoy their dishes, praising the taste and presentation. One highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Mimosa Tower. They were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of fizz and sweetness—truly refreshing and worth coming back for! Overall, Tuscan Sea seems to have potential, but the inconsistency in food quality was a letdown for me personally. If you're planning a visit, maybe stick to the drinks menu and hope your dish turns out better than mine!

    Many mixed reviews of this place so we gave it a shot. Well let me say I am glad we did! I had the clam chowder, one of the best I have had. The prosciutto on top was a nice touch. Oysters, were top notch!

    My meal was a disaster. Came out an hour & 10 min. after ordering (mngr. said order got misplaced) and then the Eggs Benedict wasn’t cooked as requested and had to go back to the kitchen .

    The Tuscan brand is a dependable brand for food, service, environment and value. This is true in each of their locations.
