    For New Year's Eve, the specials were varied and delicious. Our waitress Sunny was very friendly and fun and the restaurant noise level was pretty mellow for a special night.

    This is a really cute restaurant. Nellie was our server was so nice and friendly. I had the $29 fixed price dinner with loaded potato soup, shrimp with pasta and blueberry bread pudding. All was delicious and was a great value that I appreciate. When in the area I would definitely go again. We did walk through the bar area and it was crowded and loud —so the choice of the restaurant vs bar was right for us as I don’t like loud. Thanks to Nellie and Happy New Year!

    The food was excellent. The temperature in the restaurant was very good. The server lack detail attention. He was very good and I tipped him well but little things like no soft saucers for the coffee cups. I had a shrimp cocktail again. It was in a glass, but it should’ve had a saucer. Also, we were not offered a refill on our coffees. Other than that it was a very nice experience the house salad with scallops was excellent.

    Food was fantastic. Service was terrible. We were the only ones there. The server did come back a second time. We waited to order another drink but no one came. We wanted to leave, so I found the server texting by the kitchen so I asked for my check and left after paying

    The restaurant was very nice and in a very nice location. Service was very slow. 20 minutes between our water being poured and our order taken. Food was very good.

    Very nice lunch on the water at Breakwater. Grilled seafood sampler was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the shrimp and pasta on the prixe fixe menu. The Blueberry bread pudding was delish.
