Chef Adam and Robert Von Rutenberg are awesome. They have turned the restaurant into an amazing experience- everything from the indoor seated round table fire pit, to the outdoor dining, to the excellent food- it's a fun place to go. The clam chowder is the best in the area, the crab cakes are sumptuous, the Friday Fish Fry always contains nice surprise options that they fly in fresh, and the service really is wonderful. Disregard previous reviews from years ago- the entire staff has been replaced, the Chef is new, as is the management. Robert, like his beloved mother Betty, will go out of his way to insure that your dining experience is phenomenal. They are a locally owned business, and I look forward to dining there with my significant other. We love the place! In regards to "recent" bad reviews.....I'm stumped. I've never had a bad experience. ??
