    Surprisingly great food. The crab cakes and clams casino are especially good. Great cocktails. The igloos are a really fun and festive vibe. Service has always been great and attentive, but Andrea, in particular, adds her vibrant personality and impeccable service to make it feel like a party.

Was amazing She took very prompt care of all our needs She was extremely accommodating to all our special orders and kept the drinks flowing Most importantly our cappuccinos were really decaffeinated!! She did it with a smile and warm vibe even though it was 25 degrees!!! A definite repeat visit soon

    The crab cakes are the real deal. All crab. No fillers. The linguini and clams is so fresh. I felt I was on the Amalfi coast. Just the right amount and not drowning in broth or butter. Perfect. Cocktails well done and service attentive and knowledgeable. Seafood is fresh and well cooked. Having the wood burning option really lends to the flavor of the foods and differentiation. The igloos are great for winter outdoor dining too. Cozy and private

    A nice place to take the family and kids. The wood pizza oven is grand and also the the outdoor igloos. I think it’s a place best for pizza even they have seafood and oysters

    Upon walking in, the restaurant is very nice and the fireplace is beautiful. It was very nicely decorated but let’s talk about the food. Order oysters and we did not like them the taste was add, I wouldn’t order them again. The calamari was good the portion was on the smaller size however they were priced accordingly. We also order the lobster roll with was good but I won’t say it was amazing. All of the food came out super fast, the appetizers came out with our drinks and 10 minutes later our entrails were out. We were literally at the restaurant for not even 40 minutes. We drove all the way from NJ because of the great reviews.
