    Food took over 30 mins to be brought to the table; had steak and eggs Benedict; taste left a lot to be desired, steak wasn’t cooked to temp requested (over cooked), service was okay although our waiter wasn’t very attentive. Price for 2 people and food received wasn’t worth it. Great place to be on the water, that’s pretty much it.

    Mellisa our waitress was very attentive to our needs —- she also timed the meal to balance with our conversation. As it was my 75 birthday — we all were surprised by the effort of my gift desert. Certainly Melisa and the chefs made the occasion a memorable occasion. Thank you! It was mentioned that in a delicious lobster roll —that the use of cilantro should be very modest or non— existent as to not overwhelm the wonderful lobster taste. Maybe celery might be a better option as it is very mild in taste. Some people actually do not like cilantro — so its inclusion in such a treat as lobster roll is a total loser.

    We had a great window seat, overlooking the skating rink. There was a wedding happening next door, so music was quite loud … but it was still a great time.

    Food itself and atmosphere were good but the portion wasn't enough. My son needed to stop at the store after to get some snack so that he doesn't go to bed hungry. A bread basket would be nice. The service was good.

    Our server was friendly, engaging and gave excellent recommendations. The food was fantastic, arrived hot and the portions were perfect. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a table - despite having a reservation. We were offered to wait at the bar to have a drink, but we waited so long for the bartender to take our order that the table was ready before the drinks were. We would return, but it's wouldn't be my first choice for dinner before a show or other event with a start time for fear we'd be waiting again.

    Appetizers are over priced and portion sizes are very small. Service was mediocre. Waited over a half hour for refills of our drinks. Main courses were excellent. Drinks were overly sour but good, if you like a lot of lemon juice. Desserts again were small if you wanted to share but perfect for one person. The atmosphere was beautiful and we were able to see the water which made the evening perfect.
