No complaints at all. Arrived at 0630, paid the ship's Captain $80 cash, loaded my gear aboard and…read morewe took off before 0645 once everyone else was ready. We arrived at the first bouy around 0815. Fishing poles were ready and baited. The deckhand removed fish, rebaited hooks, and was as attentive as he could be for 13 people bringing in fish at the same time. The Captain helped too when things got busy. We visited multiple spots, caught lots of Seabass, Sharks, Red Crokers, even some flounder and puffers. We returned around Noon and they cleaned our fish for us (small tip $2-$3 per fish recommended.) Highly recommend; likely to attend again.

The group included one 7 year old, two 11 year olds, two 15 year olds, and 9 adults. We got to the dock at 6:20 and Capt. Lee and First mate Cliff were ready to go. Boat running, rods in place, and bait spread out on the gunnels. We left dock 6:30, instead of scheduled departure 7:00. We did troll on the way out and caught one Spanish. It was a fast troll, not a slow one. We started bottom fishing around 7:30. We started catching fish immediately. The majority of the fish caught were Black Sea Bass. The minimum keeper was 13 inches and most of ours were 12 and 12.5. Still a nice fish to catch. We probably brought home 15 sea bass. We also caught ring tail, small grouper, calico bass, pig fish, and a lizard fish. The most fun was catching 6 Atlantic Sharp Nose Sharks. Even the 7 year old caught a shark. I was worried about the kids being bored, but they did very well. Around 10:00 the kids went inside the huge cabin and played with their phones and iPads for awhile. We started back to the dock around 11:00. We caught fish steady for the 3 hours we bottom fished. I can't say enough about Lee and Cliff. Both of them were phenomenal. They both did so well with the kids. It is obvious they do it, not for the money, but because they enjoy what they do. Needless to say, they cleaned the fish and told us the best way to cook them. It was an excellent trip, enjoyed it immensely.

The seafood platter had two flounders, about 4oz each (we had ours fried), 4 shrimp (we had ours grilled with lemon pepper), four crab bites (fried). Because it was a platter, he got seasoned fries, cole slaw, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Everything tasted home made with these sauces and was delicious. For what we paid, it was a great portion. The platter even included lemon for drizzling over all. Best $$ spent on a food truck for the portion we received.

We recently moved to the area and chose Saltwater Grill to celebrate a special family occasion,…read morehoping it would become one of our new favorite restaurants. Instead, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. From the beginning, things felt off. Our server was wearing basketball shorts, which seemed completely inappropriate for the atmosphere and setting of the restaurant. The wait for our food was excessive, and when it finally arrived, it was almost entirely inedible. The food was cold, the broccoli was essentially raw, the rice and risotto looked and tasted nothing like they should, and every meal at the table was disappointing. For a bill of over $300, not a single person in our party left satisfied. To make matters worse, we noticed the restaurant had a B sanitation rating, which certainly didn't inspire confidence after the quality of the meal we received. The waterfront location is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. When you're paying premium prices for a special celebration, you expect quality food, attentive service, and a memorable experience. Unfortunately, we got none of those. We won't be returning, and I couldn't recommend Saltwater Grill to friends, family, or anyone looking for a nice meal in the area.

Kistler Chardonnay, and a canned beet salad?…read more I wrote a review of Boro about 8 years ago, it may be interesting to go out and compare the two. I have to say my wife and I are confused by our latest dinner experience more than anything. We could not get into Il Cigno Italiano, a fantastic restaurant (I recommend to the eggplant meatballs), who suggested we visit their "sister site" Boro. We love Il Cigno and thought, wow this going to be great. I did not realize the two were related under one organization. Like all my reviews, I try very hard to keep drama and non factual commentary out as much as possible. I focus on setting expectations based on my experience. Ambiance - Boro has changed since we were there last. The bar was walled off from the main dining more than before. The walls were empty with no art or really anything... pretty sterile...not a romantic setting, but more of a family setting. In fairness, they may be remodeling, I did not ask. One last critical item, we were sitting under a HVAC wall unit, that leaked on us through the meal. I would have asked to move but we moved to the far end of the booth, it was fine then. The outdoor patio is still nice though, and is fun to go watch bands and relax listening to music. We do this frequently as we are "locals". Service - our waitress was attentive, very nice and did check on us. The hostess was great, and was able to seat us right away. So service was pretty spot on. ....except, I am no longer paying credit card service fees that are not verbally noted when I sit down (small print on the menu does not count). These fees, have been added as "Covid era" item to help restaurants. I had no issue with it then, however, we are not in Covid anymore. I run a business and feel this is a cost of doing business and needs to be in the pricing (more helpful for customers) or absorbed. 3% is well over $200 per year for our eating out budget. Food - this is where I left scratching my head. My wife and I both ordered the Beet Salad. It read on the menu it had arugula, butter nut squash and a combination of greens. When it arrived, there was very little arugula, very sparse squash and it had canned beets on it. The greens were very scarce, more of a garnish than a salad amount. At best it looked like it was a small side salad, not a dinner salad. It was not a good price point for what we received in my opinion. However, the Tuna Takati was nicer for $15 and much closer to an Il Cigno level of offering. Another strange dynamic was they offered Kistler Chardonnay, which runs for about $90 a bottle. It is a world class wine, but Im not sure how well it matches the restaurant, or the level and quality of the food we were severed. In summary, if I was the owner of Il Cigno I would be hesitant to send folks to Boro who may looking for an Il Congo experience. In fairness, I did not ask about decor or the HVAC. However, the food is not at par for the pricing or the quality I would expect after eating at Il Cigno. Aug 15, 2026 - This is a follow up to this review. Boro up charged my credit card after I clearly wrote the intended tip and why I cut it short. See the new picture of my credit card statement. I want to say is was a mistake, but both pictures tell a hard story. We will not be back.
