I was so excited to try this place based on all the reviews, but the service is what made me give it a three. As I walked in the front, the two ladies at the front were very friendly and told me I could sit at the bar. As I sat waiting at the bar for several minutes, no one greeted me or acknowledge my presence at all. This was not off to the start I had hoped for and put me in a bad place. There were two bartenders behind the bar, but one was preparing a lot of coffee drinks and the other one seemed to be completely focused on cleaning up and shutting down even though it wasn't even 9 PM. Finally, a blonde female came over and asked me if I would like something, but didn't tell me her name or introduce herself at all. I asked for a menu and ordered a drink. I started with an espresso martini and it was just ok, so I didn't want another one. I then ordered a dozen steamed clams and they were looking amazing., but I couldn't eat them because the bartender had not given me any silverware. I tried but I couldn't get her attention to give me some. Finally there was a server standing on the sidewall and I asked him to please give me some silverware and not only did he bring me silverware, but he also brought me a bowl to put my empty shells in because the bartender had not done that either. Once I tasted the clams, they were absolutely delicious! She finally came back to me to check in. She became a tad more friendly and she took my order. I had the prime mixed seafood grill, and just like the clams, it was really tasty. The asparagus were large and fresh, the garlic whip potatoes were tasty, and the lobster shrimp and scallops were all wonderfully seasoned in a rich butter sauce. I really enjoyed the taste of the main entrée. I then asked for a sample of Pinot Grigio that she brought me and it was really good.. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio because it was so tasty. The ambience of the place was really nice and it's has a beautiful entryway. In addition, it is also right on the water. The place was kept clean and seems to be a popular spot for locals. It's unfortunate that the service and lack of attention that I received is what made me not be able to give this place a higher review. A good service experience can make or break an evening. As I mentioned, the bartender was only worried about shutting down. it was interesting that when she finally gave me the check then she smiled and said I have a good night. I'd be willing to try this spot again because the food was good, but I won't be sitting at the bar.
