The place is usually loud and packed so if you're looking for a summer idyll by the shore this may not be your speed. However, it does have the charm of being around before your great-great grandparents were born. Definitely worth a visit. Five Speakeasy stars

Thats how light they are on their alcohol. Also and probably the main reason we wont be back, this is not a speakeasy. There was a table with 5 kids behind us running around in their swimsuits and yelling. I had seen the ads constantly which already gave me a bad feeling, as a good place really shouldnt have to advertise as much, and I was right. Wouldnt return.

Neither of which said "hello" or "can I help you". It wasn't busy. But another guest came up and was served right away so we ended up leaving. Terrible experience.

I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

Our entrées were served with mashed potatoes and broccoli, which complemented the meal nicely. Our server, Sam, was prompt, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the evening.

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.

Ocean breezes and the fantastic smell of salty air. My friend and I ordered Aperol Spritz's while our guys ordered a Zest Lemonade and a Hugo's Garden. All cocktails were well-balanced and refreshing. Our bartender was SO SWEET! I wish I caught her name. She was an absolute doll and made our experience that much better. We didn't order any food, as we had dinner reservations elsewhere a couple of hours later. Their bathroom is one of those bougie porta-potties with running water and a true sink. No need to be frightened to use it! I would visit this place every day if I could.
