    The New England Clam Chowder is excellent! Brussel Sprouts were perfectly tender, the wife said her Fish and Chips was excellent, my Linguine and Clams was perfect. Our only wish was for a nicer day and the opportunity to sit out at the cabana area. But weather is weather.

    Had a wonderful dinner here after a day at the beach. The view is beautiful and everything ordered was delicious. Only negative point is they did not have a wine in stock that I wanted, but our waiter let me know promptly.

    Dinner here was amazing. We had a 530 reservation. Place wasn’t too packed and the view of the ocean from our table was awesome. Matthew was our server and he was great!!Recommended me the Bronzino special and it was some of the best fish I’ve had in a while.  My girlfriend got the girl dinner promotion which was so fun. Was such a great value for the price of the dinner.
