Everything was absolutely perfect. After we booked we found out there was live entertainment which worried us but the volume was great and we were still able to have our conversations. The food and service were absolutely perfect

Nice nautical seafood house on the Patchogue River, with views of the waterway and the Great South Bay. The four of us gave a thumbs up for a second visit.

We had a wonderful meal during restaurant week. The tuna tartare was the best I've had in a long time. The short rib, mashed potatoes, and green beans were delicious. I didn't have room for dessert, but my companion devoured it. What a great spot!
