    I had the seafood of the day (sword fish) outstanding. My wife had the sirloin and fries (outstanding). Service and all were outstanding. Go there for any special occasion. We were fortunate to find parking behind the restaurant. Make sure you have reservations in advance (e.g. through OpenTable.)

    Fantastic Christmas Eve lunch at The Mooring. Sat in the patio on the water's edge. Nice and warm with overhead heaters. Seafood Risotto - a special seasonal item - delish with lobster and shrimp. Pan fried sole with butter sauce very delicate and served with potatoes and some greens. Service perfect. Food exceptional. A great time by all. Definitely would recommend.
