Little disappointed last night upon waiting for a table for 4. It was about 5 pm. I understand it was a busy weekend to eat out because of Valentine's Day. Business was quite brisk. This also was not our 1st visit; we have been numerous times over the past 10 years, or so. I most enjoy the deck seating when it is in season. The view alone is a winner!!

Anyway, 2 of our party were there inside before 5, and 2 arrived a short time later, and upon arrival, at 5:10, after my husband waited already, he was then given a buzzer, so there was more wait time.

A group of patrons passed us, as we waited along the left wall, they were going to the dining room being sat by a server who asked the one lady in the group, "Do you want to be sat now?" Meaning others were still needing to arrive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the seating work the same for all patrons? Maybe the others had a reservation? ----- I don't know if those are accepted. I don't see that after doing a quick website search. My apology then, if so.

The last comment I want to share is the hostess, who was wearing a red and black flannel shirt, that sat us, who had no experience with communication skills. We would've been just fine if she pointed out our table and didn't see us to it!

Service was v-e-r-y slow to begin. It was like 9 minutes we sat without even an acknowledgement.

Things did get better, finally, our server greeted us with the standard basket of muffins and sliced raisin bread. All in all, there were no food complaints, just the seating and lack of communication during seating, so that is the reason for 3 out of 5 stars. For an award winning restaurant and being named a top 100 restaurant, at one time in the hospitality industry, that level of care should be shown to each and every customer.

I'm showing our entree choices with pictures, so you know we truly did dine there last night. For starters, we ordered the crab pizza. It came with a side of (shake) seafood seasoning. Food included seafood linguine and broiled scallops, sides of mac n cheese and caesar salad, garden salad and a wedge. The garden salad was primarily lettuce, unfortunately, pretty bland. Those who had the others were quite pleased.

Our main meals were tasty. Definitely a filling meal for the 4 of us. We had leftovers to bring home.
