    We left after the appetizer having returned here for the view and a memory of outstanding food a few years before. The waitress was apathetic and rude. The service was so slow - we felt we were an inconvenience, so we took our appetites and money elsewhere.

    Beautiful day on the deck with a view. Super nice and very chill server. Cauliflower appetizer was great and spicy. I had halibut tacos and partner had halibut fish and chips. Both very good. 130 dollar lunch is pretty spendy.

    Nice place. New discovery for us! Our party of 6 enjoyed the ambience and the service. Food was good, but not outstanding. We loved the calamari steak strips and the crab tots appetizers. The cod fish & chips were good, although a little dry. My wife had the flat iron steak. Ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium. It was fine, but not great. Service was excellent and the location near the memorial park where our kayak tour met up afterwards was perfect! Excellent views of the harbor and easy to find street parking nearby. All in all, a very good experience. We will go back.

    All the food was delicious and expertly prepared. Service was excellent. The views and weather were unbeatable. The berry crips was especially good and lasted for two days' dessert!

    The food was awesome, we had the bouillabaisse which was delicious and fresh, and the seafood Cobb salad which was great. But, they were very busy (high summer season) and they were understaffed. The waiter even acknowledged this. Beautiful setting on the water. We asked for an indoor table since it was a bit rainy but the inside room was great. We would definitely go back again.

    This was our first time eating at this wonderful restaurant. We sat on the patio with a magnificent view of the harbor. It was a BEAUTIFUL afternoon! The service was impeccable and the food lived up to expectations! We left with happy hearts and tummies! We will be back! Again. And again. And again.🤗

    Food was inconsistent. Chowder was very flavorful and had good texture and creaminess. Bouillabaisse was also flavorful and tasty, with a generous amount of seafood. Caesar salad was nothing out of the ordinary. Crab and artichoke dip was meh. Cheese had broke when it was melted, leaving it a bit greasy. The greasiness also dulled the flavor. The most disappointing part was finding a hair in the salad. They replaced it with another salad, but I would have typically expected them to have comped us for the salad because of the hair.
