Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the mussels in white wine as the standout dish, paired with praise for the clam chowder and salmon burgers made in house. Close behind, several call out entrees like the French onion soup, French dip sandwich, and chicken cob salad, alongside Moscow mules and other drinks poured cold. The setting draws steady mention too, a cozy neighborhood bar with quieter, family friendly patio seating near the beach, though the indoor bar area is described as loud. A few note the service was slow or that a waitress didn't mention drink specials, and one reviewer wished for more seafood options given the beach location, but these are minor beside the consistent warmth described toward the staff, including one account of being charged only for a replacement drink after disliking the first. One reviewer with a severe gluten allergy describes the chef accommodating them every visit, now offering gluten free buns for the burger.

    “Very good food-French Onion soup, French Dip sandwich, Chicken Cob salad with nicely flavored dressing. Very good drinks-I didn’t like one so I wasn’t charged for it, I was only charged for the replacement drink. Bartender and waitress super nice and patient. I am handicapped and at least 30% of the bar patrons went out of their way to help make me more comfortable. Looking forward to returning.”

    “Very cool place, a great local neighborhood bar, nostalgic atmosphere. We sat at the bar, had Moscow mules, clam chowder and mussels, all were amazing! Noreen was wonderful, super friendly and sweet, she was busy so it was nice of her to spend time with us, we were staying at the marina and came up by boat from NY so we were beat, we appreciated her kindness. If staying at Safe Harbor marina, it’s an easy walk. Definitely stop by this place, drinks were nice and cold and our food was hot and delish. I’m sure we’ll be back before we leave. Their menu had so many fantastic choices and it was Sunday so brunch was going on when we got there at noon. Burgers, sandwiches, entrees, salads… it all looked so good! Try it, you’ll love it!!!”

    “The chef accommodates my severe gluten allergy every time I go there. They now have gluten free buns which make their world class burger a delicious treat for me!”

    “We stopped while while in the area because I had watched Are You Sure? Where Jimin and JK eat lunch here. Service was slow but we enjoyed sitting outside and got the same table the BTS members sat at. 💜”
