The spot had gorgeous decor, nice and open space, and a deck over looking the water. Outside there's only 2-3 tables by heaters, and we weren't at one, but our server brought us blankets. Service was great! Now on to the food. I loved the batter, the tartar sauce, of course the fish was made to perfection, and the fries were so good! I got a salad on the side which was well dressed with a house made salad dressing. The table wanted to share a pizza and I'm so glad we tried one. It was really flavorful and I loved the crust. Great service, great vibe, great food, I definitely recommend.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, our Server was terrific. And oh my, the food couldn't have been better. From the complimentary focaccia to our mains, wow good! I had the Crab-stuffed Ravioli with Shrimp in a Limoncello cream sauce and Husband had the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We agreed it was some of the best cooked shrimp we've ever had. And the pastas were outstanding. Highly recommend!

This was about a 10 minute walk from the cruise pier, I arrived a little early for my reservation, so I got immediate seating at the bar (I was hungry, so happy to accept!). Bartender was extremely knowledgeable about gluten-free options and also made recommendations for diners around me. I decided on the tuna tartare and the lobster linguine and both were soooooo good. There were huge chunks of lobster claw meat in this pasta and I sifted through to make sure I got it all, delicious! My wine was great, it was an intimate setting due to the lighting, and warm colors for decor. Enjoyed my experience, and will be back to try the lobster roll!

The wine list is moderately extensive with a number of options by the glass or less than a bottle. The service was fine. The location is 1.5 miles from the center of town.
