Extremely disappointing. I read the reviews and the lists (best eats in Bethany, etc.) and had high hopes.

First the good, my oysters on the half shell DIY sampler was awesome. Recommended by our server who was friendly and well informed.

Now the bad: My wife's swordfish was so overdone it was as tough as overcooked steak. She sent it back and the second version was much better. My 9 year old's salmon was almost as badly overcooked and dry as the first swordfish. Even my 6 year old's chicken tenders were overdone, dry and bland. I also had the Old Bay tater tot side dish (I forget what it was called exactly), and tasted nothing resembling Old Bay. Blah.

The rest: The beer list was unimpressive. Maybe four "craft" beers offered. And one (the Troegs) wasn't even correctly listed.

The indoor dining room was extremely loud. Just one of those spaces that reflect every conversation around until the whole place is awash in noise.

The view over the water was nice. The dining room itself looks great. The staff were generally nice and helpful. Of note: we got there about 30 minutes after opening and the place was packed (@ about 5:30pm on a Wednesday). The kitchen was obviously slammed, which probability accounts for everything that was cooked being overdone. Doesn't excuse it. But perhaps explains it.

So take the reviews and lists with a grain of salt. Perhaps we just hit it in a bad night. But we will never be going back there. There are other, better choices nearby.
