    I was a bit disappointed. Of course, due to the cool weather we dined indoors. Our view was stacked chairs sitting outside the windows, no ambience to speak of. Service was very good, quick seating and our waiter was patient and efficient. The food was fair to good. Nothing to really rave about. Recommended crab cake was too spicy. Salmon grilled cheese came out with burnt bread. I brought guests from out of the country and must say I did not impress them on this visit.

    This is an excellent spot for a friends luncheon! We enjoyed bookmaker salad (spectacular), the crab quiche, fish and chips and the shrimp salad! Crab soup is very good, a bit pricey. Smith Island cake... the best! And thanks to Aislinn C. our super server! Attentive and helpful!
