"Cute establishment but really disappointed in our seating arrangement. It was our first time there and I had requested a booth reservation for a designated time for an anniversary celebration. This request was confirmed by them through their social media site.Upon arrival we announced we had a reservation. Instead of a booth, we were seated at a table next to a large group of six. I asked if a booth was available and the wait staff said no. So much for trying to set a reservation.Food was ok. We ordered an appetizer of peppers in oil and warm bread. Outstanding! My main course was the broiled seafood platter. It came with two side choices. The platter was what was expected: two scallops and shrimp (all cooked to perfection), a large piece of white fish (just a bit dry), and a crabcake. All swimming in a large amount of butter (I like butter but it was a bit too much for me). My sides were a baked potato and a bowl of sauteed mushrooms and onions. The ratio of mushroom to onion was extremely thin.My partner ordered the stromboli with sauce. He said it was good but could have been browned a little more on top. It did appear a bit pale.I had one of their specialty drinks, an apple cider margarita. Way too sweet for my taste.Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. But the lack of our reservation request made our experience less than special. All in all, we decided the best part of our visit was the $5.00 peppers in oil appetizer. But not worth the 30 minute drive to go back again."
