It was a muggy October day so we were able to sit outside with an amazing oceanfront view in front of us and a lovely fire behind us. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was excellent mostly, and by that I mean - everything we ordered except for the clam linguini definitely fell into that category. The oysters were fresh and clean; the scallops with grits and bacon jam was out of this world in flavor; the tomato beet salad was mouthwatering; both the clam chowder and the lobster bisque won our praises; and the steak on a bed of arugula was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the linguini dish just came up a bit bland in comparison. That's not to say it was bad but if the kitchen is open to suggestions, mine would be to add more garlic (because it is listed as such on the menu) and decrease the amount of pasta by at least a 1/4. The presentation of the dish was lovely, however, and we had a wonderful time. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
