Great ciopino. A bit pricey, but generous servings of seafood and the base sauce was particularly good. Decent wine list by the glass available. Beautiful location overlooking the beach. They were short-staffed on servers that evening, but service was still good and cheerful.

Not sure if it was a bad night but nothing was seasoned very well. Espresso martini and maple old fashioned were heavy on the booze but not very good cocktails. Clam chowder wasn't very flavorful. The Sole was barely edible taste-wise but was cooked fine. Scallops were well cooked but could use salt/butter- corn succotash with it was probably most seasoned thing of the night. View and ambiance are very nice for sure. Our waitress was also nice but didn't take much interest in us. Memorable but unfortunately not for the right reasons on this night.

Overall, I was very disappointed with the food and the service. three of us at the table ordered burgers, and we all asked for them to be cooked to different degrees, from rare to medium, and they were all cooked the same. The burger itself had absolutely no flavor. The service was fair.

2 hours and almost $200 for food that tasted like nothing....literally nothing. No flavor, no seasoning, not even salt and pepper. Go elsewhere, anywhere else.
