I was hoping for a better experience at this place, based on some of the mixed reviews. My kids…read morereally wanted pizza, and it was a Monday night (and not a busy weekend), so we wanted to check it out. The food was okay but the service was horrible. We waited over an hour for a large half-pepperoni, half-cheese pizza. The burger and fries we ordered came out in about 30 minutes, but the waitress bringing out the burger said the pizza was coming. Twenty minutes later we inquired again, only to be told they were backed up. We got that message from the 50-minute wait, but when people who ordered pizza after us, received their pizza before we did, we knew this place had issues. When the lady finally brought out the pizza, she was like, "sorry," but big deal, by then the damage was already done. They made no efforts to make it up to us, especially considering we had waited so long. Very disappointing. They really didn't care about our two han-gry (hungry and angry) kids who really wanted to eat that pizza. The restaurant had a fairly steady flow of customers ordering, but it was not crowded or overwhelming. People enjoyed food and drinks around their tables and watching the big screen televisions with trivia and sports updates. Nobody was at the pool table. After waiting so long, my son was trying to be optimistic and said we should play some pool, since no one was playing. Then he saw the big sign that said only 18-year-olds and older, no exceptions! Needless to say, we were sorely disappointed with this experience. For a Monday night, where the pace was not very busy or unmanageable, this should not have been that hard to make a pizza in less than an hour. This was ridiculous. As a result, I do not recommend this place, especially if you have kids. Check out the other pizza places in town and save yourself a lot of time and frustration ... or order your dinner at lunchtime.

We ordered the calzone, the Mediterranean wrap, the teriyaki wings, and the steak and cheese sandwich, along with a couple of tall beers. Every dish was fantastic. The calzone was delicious and perfectly doughy, the Mediterranean wrap was super yummy with Greek salad dressing as the sauce, and the steak and cheese was generously filled and very satisfying. The only thing that could have made the meal even better would be having the teriyaki wings tossed in the sauce rather than receiving it on the side. Our server was excellent--friendly, attentive, and totally on the ball. We genuinely enjoyed her banter, and she added a lot to the overall experience. The atmosphere was a highlight. From the deck room, you get a relaxing view of Fort Knox, the Penobscot River, the docks, the railroad tracks, and the river walk. It's a peaceful spot to enjoy good food and a cold beer, and we left very happy with the visit.
