This restaurant has a very good reputation...Good service and great seafood! Try their calamari...It melts in your mouth! Their clam chowder is just the right taste! Seafood pasta is the best!

I would rate this restaurant average. Small place right on the water. I recommend the calamari is great and the ceasar salad with sardines would be my choice.

Very good crab and batter prawns. Wouldn’t recommend the squid (more like chicken than squid).

Best Sea Bass I've ever had. Prawn Scampi sautéed in white wine is super delicious.
