    Food is a disappointing rip off. No wonder they doubled the mandatory amount you have to spend. Otherwise they’d never make ends meet

    The food at the DYC has taken a nose dive. I don’t know what’s going on with the chef and/or in the kitchen but a large number of the selections are not good and the menu needs revision. I believe the sushi I ordered was prepackaged and came from Whole Foods. There are some good selections: salads, tempura green beans to name a few. DYC - you can do better. Please consider bringing in a consultant to assist. What continues to be amazing at the DYC is the location/view, Tom and the wait staff, the Board of Directors, the waterfront staff & DYC members.

    We had a friend in from Colorado. Our waiter Cam was fabulous. Dinner was wonderful, we loved watching a pair of Osprey working the harbor, diving for dinner. Best Yacht club in Marblehead
