An OK place to eat. We sat at the bar because we we’re grabbing a quick lunch. It was a little dark but good enough. Not much of a beer selection though. If you are good with bud or longtrail your fine. Don’t look for an IPA or a Gose though. I had the fish and chips. The fish was very fresh but the meal itself was. OK but not great. I found it a little bland and the fries were mostly soggy. My wife had the fish sandwich and was very pleased. I think it’s worth checking out. You might not love it but I don’t think it’s a total letdown.

Long long wait. When we first walked in, we were the only customers there. We were later joined by one couple. We waited over a half hour to be served (lunch). The salad was ok. Nothing great. I had ordered the grilled chicken breast with Cole slaw. The chicken tasted marginally bad– as if I wouldn’t get food poisoning but I did not enjoy eating it. The slaw tasted as if it had been made a few days earlier. I sent the whole meal back. The waitress was extremely nice. She deserves to work somewhere better. There was also a bar around the corner from the dining area that even at noon had several loud-and-louder idiots. I’ll never be back.

Fried oysters were great. Perfect texture. Clam chowder too salty must have been the bottom of the pot as I had 3 bay leaves in my bowl. Burger was good except bottom bun was soaked and squishy and toppings a little charred as it must have sat on the line for awhile. Staff was pleasant but disorganized and slow. Tables left dirty and no second drink. Was steady but not so busy to justify the bad service.

So.. This restaurant is busy,but does have a cramped setting when you are in a wheelchair. The food was good but not a wow factor. Had their broasted chicken which I’m told is what they are known for. Just tasted like fried chicken. Wanted to try it once because it is not healthy for you at all. We did like the sides it came with. We have never been on the patio but they do have one. Also have a bar for people just wanting drinks. We go once in awhile.

Bar was noisy and could be heard thruout the restaurant. Service was excellent. We split an order of Fish and Chips. As advertised, Best in Town. Better than some we had in England! No salt added, we added our own to taste the way we like it.

The food is good, but I was really upset when they removed the mozzarella log from the appetizer menu. The ambience is excellent and I love having a view of long island sound as I enjoy my food. Often the service is pretty slow which is the only downside. Buy I’ve enjoyed my experiences there

The waitress treated our table of 6 like an afterthought and didn’t bring refills, silverware, or condiments. We had to get them ourselves from other tables. When we finally got the food, it did not all come together, and was totally bland. The wings don’t taste right and the calamari sauce is bland, fries have no seasoning, burger was over cooked. If you’re looking for a nice meal out, try somewhere else. This seems like more of a cheap bar than a restaurant.

Owners are rude…neither one of them knows the meaning of customer service. Julie will scream in your face if you dare question her about food, etc…..food is not good; it is horrible actually. Fries are soggy, vegetables are never fresh, chicken is rubbery, and I wouldn’t touch any red meat there! Soup is always cold and tastes like it’s been in the pot for 3 days. Dishes are dirty. I can imagine what the kitchen looks like. The whole place is dark, dingy, and cold. The bathrooms are so cold it feels like a meat locker. (Not fun in the winter!) There is no cook/chef…..Julie and Gil are too cheap to hire one, so Julie cooks it all, which probably explains it. Julie will also tell you where to sit and touch and move your belongings without permission. She gets angry if she disagrees with her tip, and will tell you so, loudly! Even tho as the owner, she should be giving those tips to the girls who work behind the bar, she doesn’t. Some of the bartenders in there are great…..that’s the only nice thing!
