Hello Betty

An amazing experience! We went for brunch here, sat on the outdoor rooftop with our dog and enjoyed the lovely weather, great food and fantastic service! The mussels appetizer was unique, well-cooked and absolutely delicious the Strawberry beignets had a great flavor and were enjoyable, and the Hot Honey Chicken biscuit was in a class its own. But above all, the staff and especially our server Miguel were outstanding. Miguel was friendly, attentive, and helpful in picking out great food. Drinks remained filled and he went above and beyond to ensure our time was very enjoyable! Will definitely return!

We came for brunch, great range of menu options. Miguel was our server and he was excellent. He gave us meal suggestions when we weren’t sure, checked on us frequently, and told us about good places to visit in the city. The food is well worth the money, fresh & delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing, clean with beautiful decor and low music playing in the background. We got the crab cake Benedict, steak & eggs, rockfish ceviche (starter,) and strawberry beignets. As well as two delicious martinis, the lychee and the strawberry. Will definitely return.

Though the kitchen seemed backed up due to catering a holiday party and our service was fairly slow, Phillip (our waiter) was exceptional and made the entire dining experience! Patient, personable, apologetic and attentive, Phillip made sure that we were taken care of even while waiting over an hour for our food. The food itself was amazing. Elevated takes on southern classics that were appeasing to the eye as well as taste. The favorite of the night was the cola braised octopus with just the perfect amount of Suya spice. Would definitely be hype to come again, but only with Phillip as our server!

Dec 2025: Brunch lacking a bit. HB is in North Bethesda in the Rose-Pike area. It’s located inside a mid-rise. Does not open till 11 a.m. which is later than we like. We got reservations because the Internet recommended it. Actually we were the only ones there for the first 20 minutes. That must’ve been a sign. The panoramic views were pretty cool. The dining areas were nice. But that was where the fun stopped. My plain brewed coffee tasted terrible. My wife’s cappuccino was spilled, lacked foam, tasted bad and loooked like a 12 year old made it (see pic). The basic breakfast tasted ok. The braised rib was over flavored and too sweet. The veggie filling of mushroom, onion and cheese was scant. They forgot to bring out the toast. Staff friendliness was ok. Price was what I expected so not a concern there. I would only come back if I heard that they improved the food and coffee.

We came here for our 18th wedding anniversary. We had such an amazing experience. Staff was professional, warm, and kind. The food was incredible! Hats off to the chefs. Zee and Miguel are fantastic!

OMG it was so awesome we went for the Santa Barbara call your serving Michelle was absolutely amazing she was absolutely wonderful she suggested what she needs suggested the ceviche and macaroni was absolutely delicious and the drinks were top-notch and mind you this is her second round we came back around after the maybe hour or so after enjoying the bar crawl you definitely need to give her a raise or some type of reward or whatever you want to give her and please do something for her cuz she was absolutely amazing she constantly checked up on us to see how we were doing the quiet and absolute privacy we were getting was absolutely awesome. Even if it wasn't from her the other staff was absolutely friendly the Justin Timberlake looking bartender was absolutely wonderful very sweet very handsome and the other guy who not only complemented my outfit but also show me to the bathroom was absolutely a sweetheart so I had to say all your staff is very friendly very combinating and very sweet.

We had a great time at brunch! Our server BRIANNA was absolutely fantastic! She was super attentive and friendly. And the jazz band was a great added bonus! We will definitely come back!

Miguel was an amazing server! Great service! I had the red snapper as an entree. Miguel recommended the rockfish ceviche. He also recommended the sweet potatoes biscuits that were to die for. It was delicious. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. When you go to eat be sure to ask for Miguel. He provided amazing service.

We were here for a meeting, and had lunch brought in. Both lunches we had were delicious, and the service wasexceptional, Saba is the best!

Paola was the greatest server ever! So polite and great drink recommendations. Will definitely be back.

Messi the waitress was absolutely great! She was very sweet and always checking in. Great experience here and the service!

Came here for brunch with a friend as it had been on her list for a while. This restaurant is located inside the canopy hotel, so in terms of parking, it's best to park at the lot by the Pinstripes, especially if you have guests that have mobility issues otherwise there are several flights of steps to enter through a doorway next to Uniqlo. We made reservations but it wasn't necessary, there were only a handful of other parties there, it may be because it was close to the holidays and folks might have been traveling elsewhere. We were looking forward to trying the "crab deviled eggs" only to discover there was no actual crab in this dish; instead the whites are heavily coated in Old Bay and the filling was basic deviled egg. It was a bit acidic going down and my Forbes didn't care for them at all. We went to order lattes but they only had whole milk at the time. I got the pancakes, which were fine, and my friend got the Betty's Breakfast. If you are nearby it's a fine spot for breakfast but I don't think it's worth going out of your way. The outdoor space looked nice so I imagine this would be a nice spot in the summer for a casual meetup with friends.

The atmosphere is inviting with its open airy feeling. The sun brightened the room which created a warm atmosphere. Miguel was our server. He was attentive and helpful! If the review were just about service it would be 5 stars, The food was overpriced and barely edible. My boyfriend and I ordered the Betty's Breakfast. I ordered mine with crispy bacon and over medium eggs. The bacon arrived not crispy and the eggs were barely cooked; closer to sunnyside up eggs. Overall, the food was bland and without salt & pepper on the table you could not make it better. I will say the coffee was super strong! But the downside was they served Coffee Mate instead of real cream. If I ever stay at the Canopy hotel again, I will most likely skip eating here. (By the way, if you book the "breakfast included" rate, it means a $15 credit toward your meal.)

Be aware, that it's probably easier/better to enter through the Canopy Hotel than whatever address Apple Maps may give you. A few of us stopped by Hello Betty for brunch. I have to admit that I was mistakenly under the impression that Hello Betty had a bottomless brunch, but maybe I read an incorrect review. No huge biggie that the restaurant did not have bottomless brunch. The restaurant is quite large with a huge outdoor seating area, so it's great for large groups. For food, I went with the creole omelette, which was fine. I do not think anyone at our table was blown away by the food (even the Smores French Toast), but it was the food was decent enough. For instance, I probably would not go out of my way to have brunch here, but it's fine if you are in the vicinity. It helps that Hello Betty is near a bunch of shops. I was a little surprised (not in a good way) that the Betty's Crush did not use crushed ice. Then again, this could have been on me for assuming that it was a "crushed" beverage. Overall, I thought the prices were pretty good compared to other places in the area. Our bartender Natasha was absolutely amazing because she was super cheerful. You definitely could tell that she is a people person. Also, our server, whose name I did not catch, was pretty good. The restaurant did have band (well, a duet) performing. While the two guys were great singers/performers, I thought it was unnecessary because 1. I think there were about 7-8 folks in the restaurant, and 2. the speakers were a bit too loud so it was hard to hear ourselves speaking to each other. I will leave this review on a positive note and say that I thought the atmosphere with its bright colors was pretty interesting. Hey, you cannot beat a patio boat.

Had a great first experience at Hello Betty! We came for dinner and were seated right away. We chose to each inside, but there is plenty outdoor seating as well. Their outdoor patio also has a fun boat bar! My husband and I kept commenting on how fun and vibrant the decor is. This would be a great location to host a party or drop into after work for happy hour. Our server, Miguel, was wonderful! He was personable and funny and made sure to check on us throughout our dinner. We ordered charbroiled oyster imperial, Carolina bbq wings, and crab cakes. I also had a strawberry basil margarita and my husband had strawberry lemonade. Everything was good! The crab cakes are a decent size with a good ratio of crab to filler. My favorite dish was definitely the oyster though! We both were a little surprised at the total of our bill, so come in ready to spend more than you probably think you will need to. Other than that, the food is good and we will definitely be returning!

I have been here 2-3 times now. The service is always great. The last time I was here, it was busy, and the host stepped in and took our orders and checked on us when the server couldn't get to us. The food is good. I will say, I hate their deviled eggs. When they first opened, the quality and display was better. I don't remember what it tastes like the first time, but recently they were soooo bland and basic. However, everything else is great. Love the ambience, I love how they have the big windows you can open that lead to outside and the boat shaped bar they have outside. Overall, i definitely recommend whether it's for happy hour or for a meal.

The food and vibe here were good. I liked the steamer pot which came with a variety of seafood with corn and potatoes. The shrimp linguine and the baby corn elote were ok. The French 75 cocktail was great and so were the other cocktails I had here. There are better seafood restaurants further away but I like that this option exists at pike and rose. The restaurant has an open, airy layout which I liked. They also have a nice outdoor patio.

I came here for happy hour (normally only bar, patio, and lounge areas) on a weekday. There was an issue by the bar so they allowed us to do happy hour at our table. We ordered the jalapeño margaritas and truffle fries. One margarita was 1/2 full while the other one was 3/4 full. They were also very sour. The fries were ok, however no crunch to them. The menu says it comes with garlic aioli but it came with ketchup instead. After that round, we decided to go somewhere else for happy hour. Getting to the restaurant is interesting. You walk up stairs, and exit out onto the restaurant's patio (which seems nice for warmer days). You then have to enter inside the building's hallway to get to the restaurant. Service was decent.

The place has a nice set up i wished they would have a better menu selection. We came there on a sunday ordered some drinks there was a menu book with seafood and such so we thought it would be available. But they said only the brunch menu was available at the time we were there and the other menu wont be available until 4 pm. So we had our drinks and moved on since we got places to be and we were already hungry and the brunch menu wasn't our liking at that time.

We had an amazing experience here on what would have been a snowy winter night. The only issue I had was climbing up the 4 flights of stairs and walking through the patio to get to the restaurant but that was my fault I could have entered on the opposite side through the Canopy hotel (pro til for you all). We started our dinner off with the fried ribs, stuffed hush puppies, and chicken wings along with blackberry margaritas all was delicious! We then decided to add the deviled eggs which were plated beautifully and were coated in old bay. I am not always an old bay fan but the spice mixed with the filling of the egg was a perfect balance really cool flavors together. We then share the half fried chicken with smoke turkey collards and mac n cheese, again delicious. Collards were just *chefs kiss* mac n cheese was yummy and the chicken was juicy on the inside crispy out. Speaking of the chef, Chef Troy came out to check on us and was so kind, you could tell he really wanted to see people experiencing his amazing food which shows he really cares about his craft. Our server Miguel was also super attentive and hilarious which just made the overall experience super pleasurable. The space itself was also beautiful and I can imagine it would be sooo much fun in the summer when the patio is open. All in all an amazing experience oh and get the southern gold desert pictured as well!

I've heard and read mixed reviews about this spot, so I wanted to give it a try...bad idea!! First, we were seated and waited 15 minutes before the server came to our table. When she approached, she said "thank you for your patience" and gave her name, I think. She then asked if we knew what we wanted to order, never asked about drinks. My husband asked if they had ginger ale and she said yes and went away after taking the order. I It seemed like FOREVER but the when the food came out the fries were salty, my son's burger was not cooked to his liking (because she never asked), and they need to rename the crab dip cheese dip because there wasn't any crab in it AT ALL!!! I didn't even order an entree because I was just automatically turned off by the server and the length of time it takes to prepare food!! My son said it was the WORST $60 he's ever spent! My husband literally said she didn't deserve a tip and he's usually really generous with tips!! I literally left to go get food from Silver Diner because all I wanted was a crab cake

We came here about two years ago and the food was OK. Not super impressed. BUT we were recently in another restaurant and we met some ladies who was raving about Chef Brandon. So we decided to try it out. AGAIN Chef Brandon did not disappoint. Butternut Squash soup A+. If you want to really enjoy some soup that is off the beaten menu path try the Callaloo. A beautiful green soup served tableside with crab meat. Google callaloo if you wanna know a little bit about Caribbean food and it's amazing flavors. Chef Brandon does a unique approach to to this staple of Caribbean menus. Attentive service and nice ambience in the restaurant. It wasn't crowded when we were in there and so opportunities for talking and enjoying the meal. Definitely coming back for dinner and ordered the spicy chicken sandwich to go.

food is good, coffee is delicious, and service is GREAT! Our server was Mestawet, she went above and beyond, and was so kind and patient with our kid and toddler. We'll be back for sure

This is a typical hotel eatery. Paying for the convenience of being able to walk from here to hotel room without issue. $47 for small salad fries and glass of wine.

The food is seasoned, fresh, with many options provided. We stay in many hotels during vacations and Hello Betty is always one of our favorites. It's not super fancy but it's always great. They provided a pork breakfast option as well as a non pork option for those who abstain. I wish there were more vegetarian and vegan options but the bagel bar is a hit for me. For meat eaters, it has smoked salmon and cured meat options. Messi was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. She was very attentive as well. The ambiance is eclectic and fun. I liked the vibe. Super laid back. We will come back.

We stayed at the Canopy and ate breakfast at Hello Betty. This is our second time staying and eating here. Both times including now, it was a great experience with delicious food. The service was great, Messi was very attentive and kind to us. I love the vibe of the restaurant and will come back!

Miguel was very nice and the food was great. Celebrated my friends birthday and they made it very special.

Service was 100/10! Andre was amazing!!! He was attentive, knowledgeable, and overall a joy to have serving us! By far the best bartender we've ever had!!! The food was also amazing!! Troy is an amazing chief. He checked on us regularly and made sure each dish was made to perfection!! We will definitely be coming back

server miguel was great and attentive, food was delicious and good wines. My husband and I were here on a rare date night and this place didn't disappoint!

I ordered the east coast oysters which was good. I also ordered the truffle fries. Those were delicious. I had a mango margarita that was delicious. The service was impeccable. Our bar tender knew exactly what we wanted and was very accommodating. The ambiance was great. It was a nice warm night with good vibes.

Mestawet was very helpful and friendly during the breakfast at Hello Betty. The food is phenomenal and yummy, and healthy. I love all of the natural light at the restaurant.

Recently tried Hello Betty for the first time by attending one of their Sunday Seafood Boil events - I believe these happen on the third Sunday of every month during the summer. I can't speak to the actual restaurant menu, but the seafood boil was delicious and I would absolutely go back again. The food was fresh, flavorful and plentiful. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet on a Sunday but the interior was clean, colorful and spacious and the boat bar also seemed to have a great vibe outdoors. Our servers were nice and attentive. I'll have to go back another time to try the happy hour!

Edwin was a fantastic server. The food was delicious. One of the best meals I've ever had.

Hello Betty's is one of the biggest restaurants I've been inside...my friend and I literally got lost trying to find the entrance. I thought the restaurant was known for their seafood dishes, but when we asked the waiter what she recommended, she raves about the burgers and flat breads. I got the smash burger, which comes with two Patties, cheese, and bacon! The burger was full of flavor and the fries were super crispy. I was a fannn! I'm interested to see what the restaurant becomes. It didn't seem fully renovated or furnished when we were there, but there's literally so much space inside. I'll definitely be coming back.

Miguel was an excellent server and made our experience very inviting for our visit this evening. Highly recommend the crab dip, one of the best ones I have had in a while! Would definitely come back for happy hour and tacos again soon!

I've been to the rooftop bar for a drink and flatbread. The drink was good and the flatbread was pretty good. There is a great ambiance and the staff are attentive. I had the buffet breakfast and it's very good and the price of approximately $14 is reasonable for the area and for what you get. Mestawet is incredibly friendly and helpful. She is reason enough to go there to start your morning in a positive way.

Mesty was so welcoming and helpful. Would definitely come back just for the restaurant experience alone.

Brianna is an amazing host/server. Good energy, prompt & know hers stuff when it comes to the menu. She is very warm and welcoming! Food was very delicious and the espresso martinis are hit here!!! Ambiance gives a speak easy feel, Will return!

Fresh Salmon/Attentive Service! I visited "Hello Betty" first (3/25/23). Located @Pike Rose in the Canopy By Hilton Hotel. The dining room is spacious, welcoming w/large windows, colorful decor & warm brown wooden tables/chairs. After an elevator ride to the 3rd floor, the host station is across from Hilton's reservation desk. It was a rainy Saturday night-I got seated quickly. This is a seafood focused restaurant w/chicken & steak options. My server arrived knowledgeable of the menu/signature cocktails & recommended the "Betty's Crush" (citrus, infused vodka, vanilla, fresh pressed orange juice & lemon soda.) I tried-Delicious, fresh ingredients. I ordered the "Faroe Island Salmon" (cooked medium served w/forbidden rice, and sautéed spinach.) Delicious highlight fresh salmon firm yet flaky/tender. My server very attentive asking if the drink, meal is ok. Of course I said yes. See Photos

A nautical atmosphere in the heart of Pike and Rose. Unfortunately, at the grand opening of the deck, it was not a sea faring day. The staff was there, bright eyed and bushy tailed to welcome Inn. The few participants that were there.. cocktails were strong, food was warm, and smiles were everywhere. The orange crush was a little bit on the sour side as the oranges were not super sweet. Thus it is only March and sweet oranges are hard to find.. I enjoyed the country club social while my friend enjoyed the ecto cooler. Both original delicious cocktails. On a warm day, the deck will be filled. There will be troves of people at the ships helm. Good thing that there is an interior, so that when foul winds happen, you can still be comfortable and enjoy the deliciousness.. Hopefully there will be Fairwinds and following seas in the future.

Restaurant at the Canopy by Hilton hotel. Large space indoors and outdoors and can get crowded, but can accommodate large groups as well. I've been here several times in large groups for happy hours. Ambiance is good, tho getting up there can be odd depending which way you go. I can't comment too much on the food since I've only shared a few bites, but I remember the calamari was quite oily. The drinks were good with a decent happy hour selection. Service is ok, I had some friends tell me they were booted out an outdoor table that they were reserving but nobody showed up for at least half an hour and my friends said they'll move as soon as they showed up, but no dice. Not accommodating at all. Minus one star for them! There are lots of locations at Pike & Rose I would choose over this.

Brie gave excellent, top shelf service! Food great , service great, what more can you ask for. I highly recommend the hotel and the restaurant!

We made reservations for the Sunday Seafood Boil at Hello Betty, which they hold on the third Sunday of each month. Service was very slow, and we were sitting for some time before someone came over to talk to us, and it took a while for the food to start coming out. The menu consists of: Low Country Boil: shrimp, crawfish, crab, andouille, red potatoes, sweet corn, champignons, onions Jalapeño Hushpuppies Cheddar Biscuits Dill Pickle Slaw Crunchy Okra Macaroni Salad Seasonal Desserts (Chef's choice) Bottomless: Soft Drinks, Sweet Tea or Lemonade I will start with the low country boil. They cover the tables with paper, and they bring small buckets of the low country boil over and dump them on the table. The buckets are very inconsistent. The first bucket that we received had no potatoes or corn and contained a lot of the onions. We received three buckets in total during our dining experience, and out of those we only received two pieces of corn, which is unfortunate, because that was one of the few things I actually liked. The crab was overly cooked and appears to have been sitting in water to keep it warm as the meat inside was completely liquefied, you couldn't even pull the meat out. It was just mush, completely inedible. The crayfish were overcooked and did not taste fresh. The shrimp were cooked well. Overall, from the buckets, the only things I hate were the shrimp, potatoes, corn, and mushrooms. Moving on to the sides, they brought over a cafeteria style, serving tray with the hush puppies, biscuits, fried okra, coleslaw, and macaroni salad. The addition of jalapeños in the hush puppies was good, I also liked the biscuits. The macaroni salad was bland, underseasoned, and just tasted like miracle whip. The coleslaw was just OK. The okra was over-fried and hard as a rock. The desserts were served on a dinner plate. There were four pieces of cake, 2 small cheesecakes that were cut in half, and a small apple tart also cut into four pieces. These desserts were clearly cut far in advance, as the cake was completely dried out around all cut edges and was inedible. the cheesecake tasted like the refrigerator. The apple tart was OK. We also ordered a pitcher of sangria. Honestly, that was the highlight of the meal. The sangria was light and refreshing and delicious. Overall, I would definitely not recommend spending the $65 per person cost for this meal. (the price listed online is $59 per person, but when you purchase through Eventbrite the added fees brings it up to $64.80 per person). Being a native New Englander, I was very disappointed in the lack of freshness and quality of the seafood served, as well as the preparation of it. I am also an avid baker, and the desserts were lackluster at best.

you guys don't have 10 for NATASHA and JULIO and Management Teddy! THIS IS OUR home away from HOME! The BEST service in allll realms #natasha #don Julio #teddy our family celebration was gr8!!!!

I would probably come here if I stayed at the hotel or for happy hour. As a regular restaurant, I don't think I'd come again. The menu seems to have changed so the pictures you see online might not reflect what you can get. Let's start with some pro's Our waitress was nice, the decor was fun and overall the atmosphere seemed fun. Ok now that we have that out of the way let's talk about the food. We ordered calamari, because a lot of the other appetizers were not available. The calamari was cold, I'm not sure how that happened but it wasn't that great. We got fish and chips. The fish tasted good I would try that again. The fries were soggy and not my favorite. We also got the fried chicken. It said it had hot honey on it. I'm guessing the "hot" referred to the temperature and not the spice. The honey was placed pretty sparingly, so it was hit or miss if you got it in a bite. Overall it was enough food to fill you up. For the price.... not impressed. I think if the prices were half the price or there was more happy hour kinds of food I'd try it again.

The restaurant has a great vibe and the employees are lovely. the food is always a win. I recommend the Spicy chicken sandwich, halibut and steak frites. our server today was Brianna and she was attentive and made sure we had a fun experience.

Ok,, so all the reviews are spot on...food is good, service is terrible! This place is so cute and so different than any others around here so I was excited. The outdoor bar with the ship in the middle is so amazing and there are hanging chairs...so cute (but too hot for us that day). Got a spot inside...then Waited 10-15 minutes for anyone to notice us! So then we had to flag a waitress (red hair) down...and she didn't even know if this was her table or not. Turns out it was. We asked for drink menus and she said there really was none...just tell her what we want. What??! Then we got warm water and my friend's Prosecco came flat. We again had to flag her down to replace it and she looked like she didn't believe us. The cauliflower app was great as was the salmon entree! I ordered the rockfish and it was bland. Was sitting on a cold fennel and tomato "salad"...not mentioned in the menu. Definitely wouldn't order that again. We would've loved to try dessert but at this point, we had already been there for an hour and a half, and we still had to track her down to get our bill! I could see other tables were getting irritated too, and saw the manager running around a lot. I wanted to talk to him but he was running around so crazily that I never got a chance. Maybe we'd try the bar next time, but definitely not the red hair waitress!

Our waitress at hello Betty today on Christmas Eve was amazing! Teddy at the front desk is also the best and so accommodating.

Hello Betty is on the 3rd floor of the canopy hotel. Playfully decorated with tons of seating inside and out on the huge converted boat terrace. The heated lamps make the cold temperatures tolerable. Now on to the disappointing part. I waited 45 mins for a lobster grilled cheese for $21. I think they forgot my order because I moved from the terrace to the self-serve lounge area. The bartender was friendly and escorted me over to eat inside because the outside wind was uncomfortable. I asked the attentive greeter about my order and he rushed to the kitchen and manager to check on my order. After 20 minutes, I went to the kitchen area and asked about my order and it came out within 5 mins. The fries were great; grilled cheese hearty and flavorful. Tons of lobster meat and juicy. I will return and eat at a table next time.

I really wanted to like here but it was truly just okay. I remember when this was the rooftop of the canopy now it's essentially the same thing but branded with a boat. My coworkers and I came here one day for happy hour and the bartenders both made our drinks differently and put them in different glasses despite us all ordering the same thing. The bartender was friendly and you could see he enjoyed his job so that's what kept us there for 2 rounds of drinks.

The vibes at Hello Betty are AMAZING! They have a boat bar which is super cute and has seating all around their outdoor patio. The servers are very kind and welcoming! I had the breakfast toastada which was absolutely delicious and more filling than I had expected. My friend had the cheeseburger - which she loved! I had heard amazing comments about the blue crab and chorizo queso fundido that I wanted to try, but unfortunately could not as it can't be modified (as I don't eat chorizo). They do have a happy hour Monday to Friday from 3pm - 6pm with food and drink specials! Will definitely be coming again to check it out. You can either enter through the hotel, or there is a side door entrance on the street - you just have to go up a flight of stairs and wrap around the restaurant to get to the hostess stand.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. This is my go to place. Staff is so welcoming and friendly. Messty took very good care of us.

Terrific food options, great drinks, and service is second to none! Many thanks to Miguel and Edwin, who took amazing care of us nightly-

Happy hour 4-6pm $1/oyster: 5/5 $4/draft beers: 5/5 Drinks: Crush: 4/5 Drink of the day: 4/5

We came armed with an almost hilarious level of "no expectations" after reading all the damning 1 star reviews, so that might've helped us curb our confidence that it'll be a nice Thursday HH night out. We walked in saying "if it sucks like everyone says, at least there's a bunch of other spots to jump to." Well, we stayed- so read on. After walking up several flights of stairs, we walked directly to the boat bar where only about 7 people were seated. There were two bartenders. Like others, we agree they had some off putting attitudes (and this was probably very colored by reading other reviews), but towards the end, our lady bartender really just seemed inexperienced and overwhelmed. She forgot our beer for about 25 mins but to be fair, she was manning the entire bar which had now doubled in patronage. I also asked her how she liked it working here and she said she loved it- that's always a good sign so maybe she just needs more helping hands when the bar gets busier. The happy hour menu had a good variety and the food came out very fast. The Caesar salad had fried capers in them- haven't had that before but I'm adding capers to my salads now! And a pretty sizable and well packed cheeseburger for $8? What's there not to like?? The fries were a bit undercooked but the old bay seasoning is hard to resist. The fire charred oysters came out a bit sandy but I liked the gentle overlay of the lemon-thyme garlic. We had live music! Check before going to see if they're on the night you visit. It was a very pleasant atmosphere- hip decor, very ample room, lots of different types of seats (hanging couches, tables, lounge chairs, and the bar), and it's got half of it outdoors! I'll be back and hope it'll only get better. Still needs work in terms of service - hence the 3 stars.

I was pleasantly surprised with this lobster grilled cheese. You rarely get whole pieces of lobster & this was the complete opposite. I stay here often, but in this area, you have a plethora of options for food, so this has never been my first choice, but today before checking out, I gave them a try & I was not disappointed. The customer service was excellent, and I enjoyed the views. I can't speak for all the good, but this lobster grilled cheese was tasty.

Great happy hour oysters! It was one of the fresh oysters that I had this summer. It's a bit smaller size oyster, but you won't be disappointed. Nice ambience with music.
