“ What an amazing thanksgiving dinner we had ! All the food was amazing and Service was superb! Everyone greeted us with a smile and even the other patrons were just so friendly and kind ! We will be going back for Easter buffet for sure !!!! ”
“ Just a nice place to have a meal. Great views. They also have a happy hour with specials on food and cocktails. Delicious spicy garlic shrimp ”
“ Sooo good!! Food was excellent, beautiful place & location. Only down fall is the parking, but it's expected during the summer. ”
“ The only time I been to this location, is when I film weddings. The view to bay is a nice perk watching the boats go by. I ordered the steak, which came with antipasto salad tossed in front of me. It was an upscale Oliver garden and enjoyed. I asked for my steak medium and it turns out it was more medium well. Didn't matter, I could cut the steak with a butter knife. The coffee rub was great. My wife had the lobster. Tasting it alone with no butter, still had good flavor. My son enjoyed the kids pizza. The dessert was another level. The Caramel cheesecake was my favorite of the night. Def a top cheesecake I will remember, along with the espresso martini. I would come back just for dessert. Service was good. Nothing memorable. Overall, I was very happy with my meal and def want to return again! ”
“ I usually only come here for holiday buffets but it's always phenomenal. The salmon is always my favorite ”
“ Great atmosphere with enclosed large windows over looking the inlet. Feel like this place has a nice quiet setting compared to most restaurants in point pleasant which was nice. Food was on point zero complaints. We will most definitely be back! Service was also on point ”
“ I've come here many times. The latest was for a holiday dinner awhile back. I wanted to share my experience albeit late. The restaurant was open by reservation only and had a buffet menu. The restaurant was decorated nicely and adequately staffed. The food overall was very good. This restaurant does parties and busy crowds well. The food was delicious. There were choices for everyone and most of it was very tasty. If you come for one of these events note that the gratuity is included in the price. You can always choose to tip on top of that which we did but it isn't required. The meat is heavily managed at the carving station and is very popular. I suggest heading there first then to the side dishes station next and onto the salad, bread and fruit table after that. The dessert will be set out later. Soft drinks and bar drinks are available for purchase. The refills may take awhile to get so plan accordingly. I especially enjoyed the turkey, two kinds of stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans with almonds, fruit salad, and regular salad with bread and butter. The lobster bisque was terrific as well so creamy. There were other choices in addition on the buffet. Nice experience. Look forward to getting back to regular dining there ”
“ Here today for a wedding reception. The venue is beautiful with an oceanic backdrop, delicious food, stellar service and very competitively priced. ”
