    I would think a restaurant of this quality would serve much better food on Thanksgiving. My turkey dinner was served in very good timing, not rushed at all. The quality of the whole dish was very lacking in flavor in fact...nowhere to be found. Very bland. The scallops were wonderful and the Caesar salad as good as we have had.

    This was our first time here and it did not disappoint. Food was fantastic and a window table allowed us to look at the ocean while dinning. Will definitely be coming back

    Such an amazing experience. We were celebrating a friend's birthday & the entire staff went out of the way to make it special. I called ahead & the pastry chef made a pumpkin pie for us that was delicious! Mike was an amazing server & the food was perfection!!
