I wish I could leave a better review but the truth is we never ate a bite here or spent a penny. We were called in the afternoon to ask if we wanted a table inside or out, which I thought was nice. I replayed that I preferred to sit outside. When we arrived a few minutes early, we said we would wait in the bar, but every table in the bar was set for dinner and there were no seats at the bar. We tried to get the bartenders attention but we’re unable to, so we sat down in the lobby to wait. When we were called, we were sat at an inside table. No wine menu, and the food menu had food particles stuck to it. We waited about 20 minutes - someone came to pour us water and left. Then another wait person - not ours - asked if we had been served. When we said no, she said she would find ours. Finally, someone who I assumed was our waitress came by. She didn’t greet us, give us a name or say anything about being our server, much less apologize for the wait. She just asked if we wanted anything other than water to drink. At this point, it was clear that we were not going to have any sort of good experience, so we decided to leave.

I have been to the fisherman many times and the food is always very good. This past Saturday we took friends from out of town and the food was on par as always however the service was very surprisingly poor. It took almost 20 mins after the host sat us for a waiter to come over and just take our drink orders. Very upsetting.

Food was great, the waitress took the time to understand our food allergies. A few things to note are the reservations don’t mean much - if you want to sit outside there is a separate wait list and inside is very noisy and we were almost 30 minutes past our reservation time before we got a table outside. This was earlier than inside where we actually had the reservation. Overall if you don’t mind waiting it’s good food and experience.

On a Saturday night in summer, the noise level indoors was deafening. And despite having a reservation, we had to wait at least 10-15 minutes to get our table. The food, on the other hand, was excellent -- both the entrees and smaller things like salad and bread. And the views, as advertised, were memorable. The service lagged at times, which was not surprising given how packed the place was and how many tables each head server oversaw. But our head server, Jason, still made it a personable and rewarding experience. I'll be back. But probably not on a summer weekend.

After having reservations I guess and I received it after 30 minutes. My food and my sister-in-law‘s food what is cold in over cooked. After friends of ours told us about their wonderful experiences before we were very disappointed.

Beautiful view, great service and delicious meal!

We left shortly after getting there. The online menu is not up to date and we wanted to try the swordfish. They did not have it. Very disappointing. It looked like a nice restaurant.

First time there. My husband and I were celebrating his birthday. We really enjoyed evreything. We had an indoor table next to a window. The view was absolutely amazing and so was the sunset. Food was fresh and delicious.

We sat outside on a sunny day with a beautiful breeze Coming off of Palmer’s Cove. I had a deliciously fresh watermelon salad followed by clams casino which is one of my favorite dishes at this restaurant. Hubby had a huge fisherman’s platter and Mom had tender scallops. Food was excellent as was service. Will visit again soon.

We had the good fortune to sit on the patio so the view was beautiful. We also had a delightful wait staff, Bree, and the food and drinks were fresh and well prepared. It was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it.
