Nice nautical seafood house on the Patchogue River, with views of the waterway and the Great South Bay. The four of us gave a thumbs up for a second visit.

We had a wonderful meal during restaurant week. The tuna tartare was the best I've had in a long time. The short rib, mashed potatoes, and green beans were delicious. I didn't have room for dessert, but my companion devoured it. What a great spot!
