I also ordered a bottle of their house wine, and it was excellent. It was served nicely chilled with just the right amount of sweetness, making it the perfect pairing for my meal. The flavors complemented the gnocchi beautifully and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The sauce was fresh, light, and earthy, and I loved the addition of the pine nuts, which added a subtle crunch. I'm usually not a fan of mixing different textures in a dish, but everything came together so well that it completely changed my mind. The shrimp were cooked perfectly--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter ordered the seafood pasta, and she loved it as well. The seafood was fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together wonderfully. We both left our plates nearly empty because everything was just that good. We were seated outside, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The weather was beautiful, there was a nice breeze, and it made for such a relaxing dining experience. To top it all off, the woman who took our order was absolutely wonderful. She was funny, energetic, and incredibly kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Between the amazing food, delicious wine, beautiful outdoor seating, and exceptional service, this was easily one of my favorite dining experiences. I would happily return again and again.

It was OK but we were right by the door to the patio, which was frequently opened and closed. Our server, Laura was fantastic. She did a great job all night for us. Started with delicious clam chowder, fried oysters, and the Kale Caesar salad. We really didn't enjoy the kale salad, but the other two were great. The seafood risotto was great as usual, as was the pescatore special and the scallop risotto appetizer (had for an entrée). The scallops Sambuca special was OK but the sauce was too sweet for me. No dessert tonight.

I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

Nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out either. The biggest surprise was the water, which had an unpleasant taste. The biggest disappointment was with a reservation issue. After my brunch, my reservation wasn't marked as attended or released in the system, which prevented me from making another reservation elsewhere for dinner. When I asked for help, Alfonso was dismissive and came across as unnecessarily rude instead of helping resolve what should have been a simple issue. It ended up affecting the rest of my evening. Service was friendly, and the restaurant itself has a great vibe, but overall I expected more based on the reviews. I personally would try somewhere else for breakfast next time.

Made a mental note to come back the following year and I'm glad I did. The menu has something for pretty much everyone -- To start, we got the ahi tuna and the short rib poutine. While short rib, mixed with french fries, covered with gravy and cheese doesn't neccesarily scream "Summer Beach Town dining", it was amazing and I would absolutely get it again. I got the wagyu ravioli and was really impressed. Not only was it very hearty and delicious, but the servings was great as well. Would also get this again. My girlfriend got the short rib (this was her third time getting short rib this trip) and she said here was the best compared against Blue Pig Tavern and Peter Shields. We wrapped up the night with their special dessert, the sticky toffee pudding and it was perfect.
