   Really disappointing, especially at these price points. My wife couldn’t eat her salad (bitter & salty), but mine was fine. Her sole was slathered in salty miso that killed any flavor & her rice was burnt. My monkfish was tasteless & stuffed with some tasteless cheese-like substance. If you’re going to serve food like this, charge fish house prices. Better yet, if you’re going to charge $50+ for entrees, hire a cooking team that delivers $50+ mains. We’re not complainers by nature, but this was truly bad.

   It was a beautiful setting for a holiday meal, every detail was perfect, the decoration was magical at night, the food, the service and the atmosphere were excellent!

   Excellent setting, food and service. Service: Sarah was our waitress and she did an excellent job - provide suggestions, taking care of our 3 hour evening dinner. Pace was just right - not rushed and not too slow. Food: It was superb - very well balanced in flavors, temperature and presentation. I can tell the chef tasted what he made, and adjusted accordingly. Setting: The view out of the big windows was magnificent, table setting was very well done also (plates, forks and knives were changed out after each course).

   CBI is consistent and dependable for a very good meal with a lovely view. Even after sunset there are sweet spots around the inn. Very attractively decorated for Fall at this time!

   Overall, not a bad restaurant but needs tweaks. One thing that was absurd is that you have to pay for bread and butter. $16. A couple more meat entree options would be good on the menu. Seafood heavy.

    Visited at the end of the season. Location is hands down beautiful. Food and Service were disappointing. Waiter, C, was not suited for the role- too many tables and wrong personality for fine dining. I've never had a waiter question food choices, try to influence us to order different meals. We had salad, sole, oysters... Didn't bother with dessert. We had one cocktail to start and were never offered a second round until they were taking away our dinner plates. All restaurants have good and bad days, we just happened to visit on a bad day
