We started with little neck clams on the half shell, ate 'em up quick! Entrees come with salads and the house dressing was quite tasty. We ordered both the broiled seafood combo and the fried seafood combo. The broiled combo was fresh and perfectly cooked. The fried combo was crispy, hot, and disappeared much faster than it should have. What I liked most is that this place doesn't pretend to be something it's not. No frills, no gimmicks, no seafood tower balanced on a piece of driftwood. Just fresh seafood served by people who know that's why you're there. By the end of the meal, we were full and happy. But not too full to grab a piece of coconut cream pie to-go that I spotted on the way out

However, be aware that theres an extra charge for sharing entrees. I came with two others and we had wanted to share two mains and three appetizers, but the sharing charge put us off and we just got three mains. We just wanted to try more and would've spent the same amount either way. I understand that charge if two or three people are just sharing one entree, but doesn't seem like it made sense in our case.

Then, our food took another 30 minutes on top of that. Our steaks were cooked randomly--medium rare could either be a tire or still alive. When we finally got our food, the runner gave me the wrong steak for our table, and when I said, "That's hers," he replied, "Never assume, huh?" Afterward, we were served an unopened, unpoured Diet Pepsi while they boxed our leftovers for us. Pretty sure the table to my left agreed with us because they literally didn't pay and left. We ordered crème brulee, and it was basically scrambled eggs with sugar on top. 1/10. The cook probably knows what he's doing, but the check was $400 and the service was worth about $10. Our server was missing half the time, and the place wasn't full.

For the mahi-mahi fish tacos I did wish that they listed what was inside of them on the menu. For reference, it included a little bit of slaw, red onions + tomatoes diced up with an orange sauce that was a bit spicy. There was also a green crema at the bottom of the tortilla shell. Overall, it was good. However the wait seemed extensively long & the staff was not very attentive. I waited 30+ minutes at my table before I went inside to ask for everything to be boxed up to take home. The outside tables could also be cleaned a bit better - my table was a bit dirty with leftovers on it.

It is BYOB so don't forget your wine.. or even margaritas (that's what we brought this time lol) The place can get crowded so expect to wait a bit during peak season. They don't take reservations but you can put your name in and wait outside their shop or even hang by the dock to the left of their place. The dock is not huge but a nice size and can sit up to groups of 8 easily at some of their tables. They do a full service dinner and includes their Caesar salad and bread with a delicious olive oil sundried tomato dip. The dinners come with 2 sides or 1 side of pasta. My favorite is their crab cakes or any crab stuffed dish. My other favorite if you are feeling hungry is the crab Marie. It's a fettuccine pesto light cream sauce with an abundance of lump crab meat. The seasoning is delicious on all their dishes is amazing. Full of flavor and butter. If you aren't into dining in or waiting get their takeout. It's just as good! And don't forget to grab a loaf of their Italian bread and sharp provolone in there.

First, they get busy, so I highly recommend a reservation (they do have a bar but that seemed to fill up quickly). Inside, it's well laid out, plenty of space and tables. It looks great. The service was very good the entire time. We didn't wait on anything and our server always seemed to know when we did need something. They serve a good semolina bread with sesame seeds, the olive oil they bring out has seasoning in it. That's typically not my thing, let the olive oil speak (if it's good) but it worked. For apps, we ordered the fried green tomatoes with lump crab, the stuffed long hots, eggplant parmagiana, and the grande meatball. Meatballs are my favorite; these didn't disappoint. They are large, not tough, and well seasoned. The salad they came with made no sense, but it is what it is. The long hots were stuffed with sausage and had a kick, but that's the fun part about long hots. They were very good. The fried green tomatoes and eggplant were mediocre. Both dishes lacked flavor. For the entree, I ordered the veal chop, and while I'm not sure if there are many other served in SIC (they claim "the best in the city"), this was great. It's old school, but it was cooked perfectly and seasoned even better. I crushed it. There was a side of mixed vegetables and potatoes, which were not good. Undercooked, likely made ahead of time, held and scooped out when needed. A few strange things: they have multiple tomato sauces, and they served two different versions of the sauce on the same pasta at our table. One was chunkier and good, the other was runny and flavorless. Second, they upcharge for any changes...if you want a different pasta noodle with a dish, it was $8 more. While I would understand if they were serving high-end fresh pasta, they're not; it's simply a money grab. But even with those issues, it was good. I'll go back next time I'm there and stick to the veal chop...because that was really good.

It was definitely not the best seat in the house, but hey, we did show up on a busy July evening! We were seated in the back of the house on the 3rd floor. It would have been great to get the ocean side of the building, but I could still see the ocean from the window near our table. FYI- There is an elevator if you cant do stairs. I had wanted to sit outside, but it was the middle of a heat wave so we chose the air-conditioned indoor table. The indoor temperature was perfect! We were greeted right away, and given menus. The service declined from there, but it was not terrible. The server was just not as attentive as I would have preferred and we waited for things we needed on 2 different occasions. We were surprised to find out it is BYOB. The waiter suggested a nearby liquor store where we quickly picked up a bottle of wine. He gets points for this suggestion! They did not charge an uncorking fee, which surprised us. We ordered an appetizer, one of the salad specials, the Branzino and the seared tuna. The presentation of the meals was very pleasing and the food was excellent. It's very pricey, but the food was delicious and the portion sizes were more than adequate considering the type of restaurant it was. I am still giving this a 5 star rating despite the slight annoyance I felt toward the server's lack of attention. Also, to be fair, he could have been having an off night. (I was a server years ago and you just don't crush it every night waiting tables! Life is hard and I watched other servers crushing it with their guests.) I'm very picky about restaurants and enjoyed this upscale dining experience. I would not recommend this for children( as a mom there are limited choices for littles and its more fine dining than a burger joint) but definitely a great establishment to try if you are interested in paying for good food.

I saw that they won an award for being "Best of the Shore" in 2022, however, I'm not sure why because I didn't like this place. We made a reservation at 7:30 which is the time we arrived. Parking wasn't an issue directly in front of the restaurant, but I bet this area gets crazy busy in the summer since it's next to the beach. The reception desk is located outside which I thought was interesting since it's winter & quite cold & windy. We waited for 10 minutes before anyone came to the desk. Once we got checked in, we were told to wait right inside the door & we waited for another 5 minutes before being seated upstairs. The main dining room is on the 2nd floor and had maybe 15 tables so it's not a very big place but they were all full. We waited another 5 to 10 minutes before our order was taken. I had the Insalata Mista for $12. The balsamic vinaigrette was quite plain compared to the balsamic dipping sauce that accompanied the bread & the mozzarella were cut into tiny cubes with only a few on the salad. Very basic. Next, I had the Pappardelle di Casa for $26 which had homemade pappardelle pasta, chicken, spinach & cream sauce. The chicken consisted of CARTILAGE & leftover pieces from a drumstick & was bland. Normal places put grilled chicken breast on top, so this was not what I expected on a pasta dish. The cream sauce was literally just hot cream & some lemon juice with no salt & some slivers of raw garlic. It was very unappetizing & I only had a few bites of the pasta which alone was fine. The server checked up on us once right after we took one bite & never came back to our table otherwise I would've gotten something else. After another long wait for our table to be cleared, we finally got to address the pasta dish since I refused a box for the 2/3 that I left & felt like the waiter made it our fault for not letting them know sooner. How can you address something when no one comes by? If you like absent servers, basic salads & bland pasta with chicken cartilage this is your spot lol. It's BYOB so maybe everything tastes a lot better after a bottle of your own wine.
