    We were a group ranging in age from 28 to 93. Everybody left happy. I had the grilled octopus appetizer, which was outstanding -- as usual. Perfectly cooked and not at all rubbery. For my main course I ordered the scallops. It was a generous portion in a lemon butter preparation. Yum! Two people in our group ordered fish. One was orange roughy and the other was rockfish and both were very good. Everybody else had -- you guessed it -- crab cakes. The crab cakes were perfect, with just the right amount of filler (i.e. not much). Our servers were attentive without being cloying. Since it was a Wednesday night, all wine bottles were half price. We had a chenin blanc that was very good, especially since we paid only $15 for it.

    Front of the Office - marginal. Crowded. A lot of talking. Does not seem Customer oriented. Wait Staff - Monica - menu knowledge. Always has a suggestion based on past orders. Attentive and professional. Meal - Seafood Sampler. Neutral. For me too much liquid - onions; oils?? Shrimp and scallops dripping. Scallops under cooked. Likely not a go back menu item. Several to select. Crab cakes have been consistent.

    Front of the House - Continues to be marginal. Why add requests to the online registration that is not passed on the server? Staff is more interested in their private conversations and their mobile telephones. Wait Staff - Monica. Menu knowledgeable; Attentive; solid recommendations; and informative. Meal - crab cakes - tasty; very little fillers; and well prepared. Crab cakes - solid choice

    Food was delicious, friendly staff, our waiter was so very nice!! The cream of crab was amazing, the crab vegetable soup was just as good, and upon being seated at our table we were given a large portion of cucumber salad to share in our group, which was very tasty! We highly recommend this restaurant. We drive down from York PA just for the best crab cakes we’ve ever had, definitely worth the drive!!
