This was my first visit, but definitely won’t be my last. The food was fantastic and the service as impeccable. The restaurant was spacious - it got a little crowded by the end of lunch, but still somehow felt fairly intimate. They have a medium-sized outdoor seating area but we chose to sit inside because it was a hot one. I ordered the blue martini which was delicious (and very strong) but a little too sweet for me. It literally went down like candy. My friend ordered a frozen strawberry lemonade and she loved hers too. For apps, I decided to live vicariously and throw calories to the wind. I ordered both the calamari and the crab dip. The dip was incredible, I highly recommend it. The calamari was good too…well seasoned and fried crispy. For my meal, I ordered the Trident Special which included a huge portion of salmon, a crab cake and shrimp over some type of potato paste. The shrimp were really good, but the salmon was my favorite. The crab cake was tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary. For dessert, I ordered a piece of chocolate moose cake. It was light, fluffy and melted in my mouth. All in all, this was a fantastic experience.

I was not happy with our visit at all. My husband and I came for dinner this evening for our anniversary. We were initially seated and sat for about 15 mins with no one stopping to check in. We then asked to move to a table that had a fire pit. Our waiter was very inconsistent and service was terribly slow the entire meal. Our fire went out about 10 mins after sitting at our table. We kept getting told only a manager can turn it back on. The manager never came back out to our table. The food was fair. Our waitress notified us that the waiter that should have had our table decided to take tables inside leaving her with so many tables on her own. Overall poor service and experience. I expect better from this restaurant.

It’s always pretty consistent but never a “wow” experience. The food is consistently 3-4 out of 5 stars, the drinks and atmosphere bring it up to 4.2 are pretty good. If you’re looking for a nice spot by the water decent crowd of folks and decent service, they are pretty solid for a nice experience. The location makes the space. However, this dessert was a 5! Delicious!!

We have individual dividers between tables, so that each table has its own private space - with more than enough distance between tables for proper distancing.

Check the street signs and be sure you can park for free. Otherwise I normal look at the parking garages that range in price $10-$14.

They have a garage directly beneath the restaurant. There are 2 across the street directly behind them. You wont even break a sweat. I believe the parking is $5.00 on weekends.

On the restaurant's website if you click "Locations". There is a link "Where to Park in Old Town". That will bring up a PDF file of a street map and 11 nearby places to park as well as hours and prices for parking. Also if you show the server your parking ticket they will discount your bill by $1.
