1st off, I have never written a poor review for any business ever and I’ve waited a week for the tears to stop and the rage to subside… I had a Birthday celebration for my daughter here on Saturday July 26. Upon booking the date I was told the day was wide open. Within 6 weeks prior I brought friends for dinner and to reconfirm that everything would go off as planned. The last visit was a week prior so they damn well just yessed me to death knowing they were going to throw me under the bus as they had booked a much larger party after my booking. I they did not do ONE thing they had promised. I was told they would section off a portion of the large room facing the beach…. instead we were jammed into a very small uncomfortable space I guess is normally used to store unneeded chairs as they had an entire row of them up against the wall. I was promised an easel… it was given to the other party. I was promised a cake table that I had purchased a table cloth and decorations for.. the $175 cake was not seen by anyone. No pictures of this beach themed decorated cake. It was sliced up in the kitchen . I could have bought a Costco cake for that matter. I asked if they could place 2 macarons I had bought with each slice… they didn’t. Mind you, we are only talking 18 people and about $1500 of my hard earned money. No table for favors as promised. A small plate of appetizers were accidentally placed on the table, meant of course for the other party, so I went with it and asked my waiter to make up 3 more of the same. They couldn’t because they were out of the mozzarella sticks… due to the other party. I wasn’t able to sit and enjoy my meal with my guests as I was busy clearing appetizer dishes etc to make room in the tight space for entree’s. It was the first time I invited the Drs and office staff to any of my events. I was So embarrassed and they were embarrassed for me, mentioning next time Olive Garden.. My party was a train wreck. You should be ashamed. All of the above can be confirmed by Molly as although she wasn’t our waitress she is the person I confirmed with 3...
Read morePerfect spot for a Summer afternoon .. whether you decide to eat/drink in the covered patio area, where you can get traditional snack bar items, or if you decide to eat inside the full service restaurant, you won't be disappointed. I've had the pleasure of sitting in both areas .. A few months ago I shared cocktails with friends on the outdoor covered patio .. enjoying the breeze blowing off the sound .. it was a clear day with the Connecticut coast clearly visible. Recently I had the opportunity to share lunch with another friend, this time inside the glass enclosed patio .. again, the views were astounding and relaxing .. watching people young and old, enjoying a perfect beach day, while enjoying an excellent meal and a very nice bottle of wine in a perfectly air conditioned room is my idea of the perfect way to spend a hot summer day! lol Although I didn't eat the first time, I have to say that I was very impressed with the food on my second trip. I ordered a wrap sandwich, thinking of eating light; and I was grateful that others were willing to help me eat it .. the wrap was truly stuffed .. the meat was very tasty, lettuce and cheese very fresh and the entire thing was perfectly dressed .. it was definitely large enough for 2 people to split .. There was a stuffed salmon special that day, and it came out perfectly cooked .. there was no question that it was a crabmeat stuffing; definitely more crabmeat than filler .. and again perfectly dressed .. not one of those that's been overly worked or is overly dry .. It was too early in the day for me to try one of the many entrées that piqued my interest .. but I have already made a date to return in order to delve into the rest of the menu's offerings. **before I forget, the staff was also top notch .. both outside or inside, and even in passing .. they're informative, very nice and go above and beyond to help with any thing you might ask or need .. Take the ride out to the end of the road .. it'll be...
Read moreA good restaurant located on the crab Meadow Beach, Unfortunately they don't take reservations so you may have to wait. Prices are Fair to Midland. The food is good and ample, the appetizers are nice but a little pricey and service is Pleasant and friendly but a little slow at times. Every dish other than the steaks, or either 2895 or 2995. We got a plane personal Pizza as an appetizer, (we were a party of 4), two of us got one of the chicken dishes, one of us got the grilled swordfish dish, and the other got linguine ala bari, which was a pasta and seafood dish. There were two sodas ordered, and four coffees with two desserts that were shared by each party and the bill came to $160 plus tip. They had three and a quarter percent for using credit card which is illegal unless they notify you before you order the food but you don't know they're charging you that until they hand you the leather Credit Card Collector. That's the reason for the lower star rating. All business standpoint, they should just roll credit card fees into their costs instead of penalizing people for using their credit card.
Reply to response: Sorry for not seeing those notices, but all 4 of missed it until we received the check. Still a policy that needs to be re-thought. There are so many places that don't charge extra for using a card. I added...
