    Beautiful waterfront dining. Nice menu with lots of options. I had a chopped salad with grilled shrimp. The shrimp were huge and very tasty. You can order the shrimp by piece, so you don't end up with too few or too many. They offer 3oz and 6oz pours of wine, which I like because I'm not a big drinker and 3oz is perfect for me. Service was friendly and well paced. The Parking lot was packed and we parked in the street. Highly recommend!

    My husband took me here for dinner and I had a great relaxing evening the waitress was very friendly and service was fast . The bread that they give with the black salt was a delicious start while waiting . The ambiance is great with views of the New Haven harbor . Nice dim lighting and a menu full on options for the season . I've had many different experiences here as a regular visitor. I've tried many different dishes and love . I loved the salmon dish it's one of my favorites also the carbonara in which is only served in the cooler months for a heavy meal. Oyster has always delicious and bluepoints has never failed us here . Both indoor outdoor dining if you choose . Hope you have a great experience with this place.

    Beautiful views located on the water and the ability to boat watch was such a nice change. I was immediately seated and provided sparkling water. The menu is limited but there is variety to choose from. However, the drink menu is extensive. The food was well plated but my salad lacked so much flavor.It was just a plate of unseasoned chicken and very minimal dressing. The server was attentive - but two incorrect items were brought to the table and I don't like sending any food back or complaining when it comes to food. So, I just ate it and paid for it.

    Beautiful restaurant, sitting right on the water, you get a gorgeous view and the music wasn't too loud so it felt pretty calm, even during dinner service Had oysters and they were pretty good, great mignonette. I loved the salmon dish I got as well as the clam linguini- I thought they were both flavorful and light but gorgeous dishes. The drinks were delicious as well The servers were very attentive, but didn't check on us too much. All in all, everything was really good. I'd just say it was a bit expensive. It felt like the restaurant wants to be fancy but the feel of the place didn't exactly fit that. It doesn't really matter honestly because you can dress fancy but also you can dress pretty casually here. It was slightly expensive but not too much- I'd still go back but it would depend on the occasion
