It will feel familiar and upscale, yet updated and approachable. This sensibility will be on full display with roaming carts of Tableside Shrimp Louie Salad, hand-mixed tartare, classic caviar service, and professionally filleted whole fish.

Great food and cute setting on the marina. We ordered the baked oysters and lobster sandwich along with a couple of cocktails.

We had a very enjoyable meal here. Ben was a super server. If you like Dear Johns this is the perfect seafood complement. As always, the bread was delicious and the butter came in a cute fish shape. We love a place that understands it is the details that matter. At first we were taken a bit back by our appetisers. The carpaccio was swimming in a sauce (which ended up being excellent) and there was no bacon in the Oysters Rockefeller (they serve the more original recipe). However the main course was perfect. Trout almondine and herb crusted sea bass. Our non seafood eater got the chicken parmesan. Sides consisted of creamed spinach (super smooth and fresh tasting), whipped potatoes (a little gluey in texture) and broccolini (they keep the crisp). Dessert was the parfait and it was eaten completely. Would come back, however, Valet only for cars kinda blows, though, and they brought us someone else’s car. .

Seafood tower had loster, stone crab, scallops, clams, shrimp, and oysters with four tyoes of sauces. Rockenwagner bread came hot and crispy with a light texture. I asked the waiter for a cocktail with Mezcal and grapefruit, which was delicious. The service was excellent. Tables not too close together. View was great, with yachts floating by. Only negative was the $15 mandatory valet parking fee (no other parking in the area).

(10/22 visit) Dear Jane- What it is: A beautiful restaurant with great views, friendly service, and a fun, retro menu. What it is not: A foodie restaurant. All of the fish is frozen and farm-raised, mostly shipped in from other continents . The only local fresh item on the menu was the Ling cod, but unfortunately the only available preparation was in the form of fish and chips (which were tasty and paired well w the Dauvissat Chablis btw.) For the most part, everything we ordered was either a wee bit under- or over-cooked. That said, I am hopeful they will work out the kinks. This place has the potential to be a decent replacement for Café del Rey – one of the best local options for business lunches/dinners. They even have a Cougar bar behind a curtain to replace the one at Cafe del Rey lol.

We started out partaking in their happy hour offerings – nothing fabulous here, but the calamari was good, the Oysters Rockefeller were tiny and inadequately prepared (lacking the touch of fennel that makes it just right). Service was hectic, even though the bar wasn’t crowded. It was ok.

Great location, amazing views, and Stephen was a great waiter! Lovely place for brunch and dinner if you want a relaxing, enjoyable meal! Had a great lobster roll with caviar and it was incredible!

1st time there. The salmon melted in my mouth. So enjoyed the ratatouille. Although short staffed, our server did not forget us. Do check out the lemon pudding dessert.

I was impressed by the quality of food and presentation. The crudo was super fresh and the flavor on the scampi was well balanced. The bar area is a dark and cozy space, perfect for a drink before dinner.

I want to give this place a full 5 stars because the neighborhood needs better restaurants, but I have to say the food was underwhelming. Good seafood should make you exclaim at it’s freshness, and good cocktails should give you a buzz without spiking your blood sugar.

Very friendly staff and the look and feel of the dinning was great. Right on the water and decorations were right on key.
