My daughter received the wrong drink. The waitstaff didn’t come back for 30 mins so she just drank it after waiting 20 without a sip. Took 30 mins to get our appetizers, our meal arrived just a few minutes after. The staff was kind but we sat and waited without service far too long.

We wanted a close restaurant to have a good meal with my Grandson and Girl Friend and the Custom House did not disappoint. We each ordered different food items which were all delivered at the same time.

We had to wait 25 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Multiple people without reservations were seated outside and at the bar while we waited. Despite mentioning that we were celebrating a birthday it was not acknowledged. The food and our waiter were excellent though.

We were on vacation, and we’re so blessed to have gotten to eat at this restaurant for Thanksgiving. Such nice people, great servers, great food, and of course, right across the street from the beach. It was really really awesome.

We had a wonderful dinner. The stuffed chicken dish was amazing! And the chopped wedge salad had a nice twist to a classic salad with the addition of fried shallots. Would definitely return their again!

A decent place for dinner with a variety of items. It was cold so we opted to eat inside. We had to wait for a booth for our party of four, but got one after about 15 minutes. Service was fine. Decor nothing special.
