    We started in the bar area and loved it so much we ended up spending the whole night there. Bar staff were amazing and would definitely recommend it.

    Brought our daughter for her birthday celebration. Taylor was our server and was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. Our daughter has a gluten sensitivity. All of our meals were excellent.

    We had a very nice dinner at The Moorings, The waitress was on point and attentive, the salad was slightly over-dressed; the steak was excellent and cooked perfectly, the tuna was a bit cold and should have been at room temperature, the deserts were very good,

    Ordered the baked stuffed lobster. Completely overcooked with burnt bread crumbs and tough stringy lobster and scallops. Typically a good restaurant but pass on the lobster
