    My husband and I visited this restaurant on a recommendation from our daughter who has a home in Greenport. We were very pleased with the ambience unfortunately, we missed the sunset, but said if we’re able to return, we would like to time it so that we could sit by the water and enjoy that nonetheless. It was a nice experience. Our service was excellent. The waiter was very informative and they were prompt with their delivery of our food, which was very very tasty. I would recommend this restaurant again. My only disappointment was that we were sat near a table of three that were quite loud and distracting not much the restaurant can do about that overall I would highly recommend this restaurant good experience
