We really wanted to love this place. From a vibe and location perspective, it's super relaxing and a great atmosphere right on the water. Service was lackluster. The place was not packed and yet, they forgot to give us small plates for appetizers and utensils. We asked for utensils twice until finally had to get up and go toward the kitchen to get some. Out of the appetizers, the lobster bisque came out on the colder side but the bacon wrapped scallops stole the show. The crab dip was not good at all and they didn't even provide us with the noted pretzel bread. As entrees we got the Stuffed Flounder and the Lobster Rolls. Thankfully those were decent as we were pretty hungry. For dessert we got the brownie and the blondie type dessert. Both came out cold, however, the blondie was described to us as having candied bacon. There was no bacon to be found. At this point we just wanted to pay the bill and leave. The waitress noticed there was no bacon, so she went to the kitchen and brought us bacon bits (they were not candied). May return but the next time maybe just for drinks. We were disappointed we couldn't love this place more. Maybe we just got unlucky.
