    My shortrib pasta entree was genuinely one of the worst things I've been served at a restaurant. Overcooked pasta an beef paired with near-raw crunchy carrots and... something else that I couldn't identify. My cocktail was syrup that was pleasant enough, but had trace amounts of alcohol in it. My wife's steak was "just ok", and her old fashioned was undermixed. All-in-all, not a good experience.

    Great atmosphere, full menu. The fish special was a number 1! Beautiful at night with the lights, the water, the view. I had some out of towners with me and the Potomac reminded them of the St. Clair river. Good times.

    Went for New Year’s Day lunch. Good and service were great! Our server recommended his favorites and we went with a few of them and they were delicious! Got the calamari and hot crab dip with pita which everyone enjoyed! Seafood was cooked on point and our group loved the house made pasta dishes as well! Definitely be back for more!!

    Very nice place to enjoy a New Year's Eve although the 6pm fireworks were cancelled due to weather conditions, but still enjoyed the special holiday dinner. It was pricey, much more than I expected to pay for, and the house music was too loud! Besides that, food and service were fairly good.,

    Food wasn’t really good and not worth the cost. We ordered the special of the night which was a trio of blackened seafood—salmon fillet, crab cake, shrimp served with whipped potatoes. The salmon and shrimp were both overcooked, and the crab cake was a lot of breading. We ordered a side of Brussels sprouts and they were delicious at least.
