Sat outdoors and got the three course meal. Very impressed with the quality of the main course and the dessert! Half of the oysters were a little small, but I thought they were delicious enough that it didn’t matter. It was a good deal, I definitely would recommend/go again.

The food was good and my favorite was the duck leg confit. The wine selection leaves much to be desired felt some of the staff were rude except our server. The space is small and a bit chaotic. Nevertheless, I’m sure this restaurant is one of the best choices around the area.

Really really wonderful restaurant. From the views and setting on wading river beach – to the cottage vibe and casual atmosphere, it just knocks it out of the park the combination of casual and show stopping food. The menu is superb – literally so good that it hasn’t really changed in 15 years, but that is not a knock! Get the soup (any!) get the cheese plate or pork buns, but the entrees are where la place separates from the pack. There are 8 entrees – I have had ever single one. You can not go wrong. If it’s cold weather – duck leg confit with table side mushroom spooned out on your plate over a chive risotto??!? Better than it evened sounds if that’s possible.

Great place near the sound. We had the price fixe menu for $35.00. I had the duck confiet and my wife had the chicken breast. We also shared clams on the half shell and oysters. All delicious. We also had the chocolate cake and vanilla cakes for dessert. Well worth the price.

My boyfriend and I came here last night for my 24th birthday and it was truly the best meal we’ve ever had. I noticed this place a few months back when we were driving through the area and knew I wanted to come here since; needless to say, it lived up to my expectations! I would come back for the mussels and the view alone. Everything was reasonably priced and perfectly cooked. Will definitely be coming back soon.

My family and I have been coming here every summer from Queens, NY for years. And I’ve never complained until today. There’s a public beach right across so we usually spend some time there after our meal. We initially made a reservation for 2:15pm but with traffic from Queens we rescheduled for 4pm and got there 30 min early. One of the servers (wish I got his name) approached us in a rude manner as soon as he saw us park in the parking lot further away from the restaurant. He pulled in impatiently nearly hitting my daughter and shouted multiple times “do you see where you’re parking”, as if we didn’t know how to read. I had advised him to approach customers in a nicer way especially when running a business, and he said “if you think this is being rude you haven’t seen anything yet”. He assumed we were taking advantage of the parking lot just for the beach. He claimed to be the owner of the restaurant and when we stepped in to cancel our reservation he had just clocked in to serve for dinner. We spoke to the manager and said he’ll have a word with him. We did not feel comfortable eating there anymore after that horrible altercation. I would understand if the parking lot was packed and we were taking up space just for the beach, but that was not the case. We were long time customers just trying to enjoy our day off from the city.

This was our first time here after a friend told us to check it out. I live local and have never been before. We went on Monday which was bring your own bottle night, they provided a chiller and opened the bottle. We made a reservation and the hostess offered us multiple tables, thank you!! We had the buratta app, lobster special, and filet mignon. The buratta was delish, the filet was so tender and flavorful, the lobster special orzo and the claws were delish but the tail was a little chewy/fishy. Overall a great visit. We will definitely come back for anniversary or other large occasions.

May I give this place 10 stars please?! The service was excellent (Wade was an excellent waiter, gave me recommendations and suggestions) and the food was just as good. My wife and I ordered the artisanal cheese plate and it was delicious. My entree was the bronzino, Perfectly cooked! I loved the crispy skin on it and the little neck clams were delectable as well. My wife ordered the Atlantic salmon (not pictured) and was just as delicious. Me being a local, I am so happy that there is such a high caliber restaurant down the road from my house. Bravo to the management, cooks, the servers and the whole team!

First time eating here was good. Went again this evening and both entrees and both appetizers were a 4/10 if I’m being generous – assuming they changed chefs. We didn’t finish either entree. Would recommend going somewhere else.
