So this review is for Whitney. I could not have asked for more caring person to help me with my request. My parents are going to dinner there for their 64th wedding anniversary. I wanted to surprise them with a bottle of wine. Whitney took care of everything for me made a card and made sure that my parents received their wine. She went well above and beyond! Thank you Whitney

Such a gem of an establishment Bud and Matt. The seafood is always fresh. Calamari is the best ever. Oysters on a half shell are divine. I haven't touched Buds beef yet though lol. My mom helped Bud open up his bar area. Her claim to Fame. Hadn't been there in quite some time until the other day. Had a cup of chowder, best around and some fries calamari. Great job by the father son combo!
