"ZERO STARS!!! I am absolutely DISGUSTED at the service we experienced today and will NEVER be returning to this establishment. The manager on duty was the most disrespectful woman I have ever encountered and should be fired immediately. We came in for a birthday celebration for my grandma and had 8 people plus one baby (8months). Since they only sit 8 at a table, we were told that since the baby would be sitting with us, that we couldn’t all sit together. They separated our party and forced the two teenagers to sit by themselves in a booth where they couldn’t even talk to the rest of our party.We politely requested that we all sit together, and even moved the high chair so that the baby wouldn’t be taking an extra seat (he sat in his mothers lap). The manager insisted that we could absolutely not sit all together because there were “9 heart beats,” even though the baby was not taking up any additional room. She continued to argue with us and was incredible rude for the remainder of our time spent there. Her reasoning for refusing to accommodate us was because she couldn’t make exceptions or other people would take advantage of that. I completely understand having specific procedures and expectations for guests, but to count a BABY as a paying patron/fully functioning guest is ridiculous- especially when we made arrangements to ensure that the baby wouldn’t be taking up additional room.When we asked for a supervisor/owner or contact information to relay our experience, she refused to give us this information.We left before even being served since we weren’t even able to sit together. I am disgusted at how we were treated this evening and will never be returning. It is my hope that the manager (larger elderly woman, since she refused to give us her name as well) is terminated immediately since we will be relaying our awful experience to everyone we know. As a server, I have NEVER been treated so awfully by a person that should be trained in customer service. Based on the other reviews, people agree that the service is awful."

Alaskan king crab legs and lobster was amazing. But steak and salmon had no flavor at all. Defiantly wasn't the wow factor that I thought I was going to get going in when read the reviews.Food: 3/5

Ate there to have their fried Lake Erie Perch. It didn't seem as good as I remembered from 10 or so years ago. The rest of our tabled loved their food. Service was good, and the atmosphere with old sailing paraphernalia was nice.Food: 4/5

Fantastic restaurant! I've been going there for years and it truly offers unique seafood dishes. The service is outstanding as well. I had completely forgotten about this place since I moved away 15 years ago, but I recently revisited and it’s just as wonderful as I remember. Food: 4/5.

My steak was reasonably priced and cooked to the perfect mid rare temp but it was the blandest tasting piece of meat I've ever eaten in my life. Couldn't have had even a sprinkle of seasoning on it. Fries are frozen. However my wife absolutely loved the king crab legs so it made it worth the visit.Food: 3/5

We dined with family to celebrate an anniversary. We enjoyed the fried zucchini, crab legs, shrimp scampi, grilled shrimp, and the perch. The food was first rate, service was friendly (even humorous) and the ambiance was fitting of fine dining on a peer or worf. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed our meals and a good time was had by all. View menu

The food was not the same as before; they altered the spices on the blackened catfish, and it ended up tasting overly salty. The Prime Rib was mostly gristle and fat. As for the side of broccoli, they only served me one stem. The waitress didn't even inquire if I needed anything else. Overall, it was the worst meal I've ever had at this restaurant. Food rating: 3/5.

A true hidden gem! It’s just 5 minutes from our home, yet we had never heard of it until tonight when we decided to give it a try. What a fantastic choice it was! We enjoyed a variety of seafood, all of which was fresh and delicious. Our server, Natalie, was wonderful—so friendly and personable. She provided excellent recommendations, too! We can’t wait to return and sample more of the menu!
