    Our server, Rosie was fabulous. She knew the wines and her timing was excellent. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms which were incredible. Shared the tornadoes….excellent! My husband loved his seafood pasta. Will definitely return.

    The food was delicious, the service attentive. My husband had the salmon from the regular menu, which was fantastic. I had the halibut from the specials menu, which was fresh and very tasty. It’s a bit expensive but worth it. I was so pleased to be eating here again. I missed it!

    It was a pleasure to see this place opened again. It had a distinguished history as a high end restaurant in the area but suffered closing because of Covid. It’s back, and with a bang. The food and service are excellent, and the beautiful ambience hasn’t changed in the 40 years or so we’ve been going here. We’ll be back, many times. It’s the only restaurant in the area that can give Terrapin Creek significant competition.

    Food was good however service was not great with Merry. Nice person but took 15 minutes for her to come over after we sat to take our drink order. Service was slow after that. She forgot that I ordered a glass a wine and then got charged for 3 glasses when I only had two. Food was pretty good however the service really needs to improve.

    It was a lovely experience - our food was beautifully prepared and the service was exceptional. Making a reservation a day or more in advance will hopefully reserve you a table at the windows overlooking the Bay. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.
