Everything was good.. food tasted very fresh. The service was great

Very good service. Their gluten-free menu was very good.

The food was average, yet overpriced. The nachos are weird (and not in a good way) with some kind of strange tangy sauce on top that wasn't edible. Even the server wasn't quite sure what it was; she guessed sour cream but it was pink with pieces of something in it so that couldn't be right. The burger was cooked well, although the chicken sandwich was burnt, and tasted like it. The pizza was OK. The server was friendly and there weren't many people there so it was quiet, and a nice atmosphere. But way too expensive for what we got. I wouldn't hurry back.

It was my birthday, and I went because I had a certificate, and it was lobster month. I ordered the hamburger topped with lobster meat. It sounded delicious. But the sandwich was actually far inferior to the way that it was described. It was very soggy loaded with lots of cheese and mayo. You could not pick it up because it was just so soggy. I had requested that my bun be toasted. But it was not I managed to eat the bits of lobster off the top of the burger with my fork. I had ordered the burger medium but it was almost rare and that contributed to the sogginess of the sandwich. I did not complain because it was my birthday and I wanted to have a memorable experience.

We love this place...we will go more often. The shrimp wontons are crazy good and the meal was great...wonderful and friendly servers

Service was slow and inconsistent The 55th anniversary was noted on the reservation but not acknowledged in any way

I was so good for dinner I came back the next day for lunch as I was walking by. Today grilled sardines again, debase and half bottle wine. Amazing food and price. This is a real mom and pop seconds to Porto waterfront yet reasonably non tourist price. Cheap by American standard

Love the salads, and the options are plentiful. Made it hard to make a decision as to what to get. The bread and oil that comes out prior the meal as a small appetizer is always a great treat too. The focaccia is fresh and the oil mixture has a little kick to it. Always fresh ingredients, beers are cold, and the mixed drinks are delicious. Patios out back and out front are great experiences, on a beautiful day.

Poor to middling is our overall assessment. Water was brought quickly and the order was taken quickly. One drink was brought immediately, the other (a cocktail) was brought upon asking for it again with the main course. Different server came to the table each time food or drink was brought. No one came to see if we needed anything else or asked how everything was. One waiter brought someone else’s food to our table. We had to fetch cutlery from another table because a fork was taken away with the first course. The vinegar bottle (fish and chips necessity) was 1/4 “ full but poured all out because the inner stopper was missing. The fish was soggy and the chips (fries) were just ok. Chowder (New England)was tasty. Chicken strips were over cooked. The best part of the meal was the oil and Romano dip that went with the bread. We won’t be going back.

Great casual place with something for everyone. Decent kids menu. Wide variety of options for adults. The bread with Parmesan garlic dipping sauce is fantastic! Our server was especially lovely. Full of smiles and the right amount of attention.
