I've had brunch, lunches, many dinners and even had their "Bud's beef" catered. Consistently wonderful. If you like fish it is always perfectly prepared. Highest recommendations, and I'm kinda picky.

Clam chowder.....awesome.....macadamia crusted sole will fill your soul with happiness. Just wish the butter was not cold so it woul spread on the bread easier.

Ate there because it was highly rated by Trip Advisor, but it was just ok. Service was very attentive and efficient.

Above average seafood for the area, some dishes are very good, Bud's beef is very tasty. Service is inconsistent but may be better now.
