    I appreciate that the Manager asked if we wanted to wait for the requested table in the Harbor view room. We chose to not wait and took a table on the downstairs outside heated area. We all agreed that it feels like a large cafeteria style area… Our Server Jenn was outstanding and Raum was also very attentive. The food was outstanding and timing was perfect! Thanks again for your consistency for service,quality of food ! David Lyle

    All went really well at The Mooring. We had a 6:00 PM reservation and were seated shortly after arriving to the restaurant. The place was buzzing! Despite the business, all went well after being seated. The place is big! Our server was attentive and accommodating. Food was good - came out piping hot and fairly quickly. My only criticism would be the noise level was high - it was a bit hard to hear the server as well as the people we were with. I am guessing with the number of people dining - noise it very hard to control. Generally, The Mooring was a delightful dining experience. I would recommend it highly.
