   I think the drinks were the worst I’ve ever had. We tried 2 different specialty and each were terrible. The food was mediocre at best. Ran out of the dish my husband ordered and took 30 minutes to tell us this for him to pick another item. Service was subpar. Everything was a disappointment except the view. The view and location, you can’t beat. The prices are in line with what I would expect for the location; however, not with the poor quality we were given.

   Wait staff were good. However, food less than desirable for the price. My filet mignon was supposed to be medium rare---but it came to the table "medium" plus was dry with no juice. I was hungry so didn't bother to have chef make a new one. My husband had the pork with marionberry sauce. Tast was OK but meat was very fatty. Although view of Haystack Rock is nice, food is overpriced for what you get. We will not return.

   Salmon was overcooked, waiter forgot our chowders. Mac n cheese with smoked salmon was excellent.

   The staff and food is absolutely amazing. We had their signature crab dish, fish and chips, for our appetizers we enjoyed crab cakes and their clams. We finished with their cheesecake for dessert. Everything was wonderful.

   Great location and view at our table by the window. The food was ok but this was all ruined by the service. Our waiter was attentive to the point of feeling like we were being rushed along. He kept coming back every couple of minutes to see if there was anything else like he was trying to get us out of there despite that there wasn’t anyone waiting for a table.

    we ate here twice while straying at the Surfsand Resort. Both meals were dinner and we loved it. The portion sizes are very large so be aware. Their crab cakes appetizer was incredible and both cakes were large enough to split between 4 adults. Not much, if any, filler. The wedge salad was huge so the second night I ordered this as an entree. The crab bake, again, was so large it could have been split easily between 2 adults and not been finished. Service was very good, the view of the beach was exceptional . If you are staying at the surfsand resort, it is only a few minutes walk from your room as it's on the property. If you are staying there, they also give you a coupon for 10% off a meal which does exclude Fri- Sat. Overall, a very good choice for any meal.
