Wish it was closer I'd eat here regularly. Great seafood and an even better view. Anyone offended by their policy on children needs to realize other people have actively made the choice not to have kids. As one of those people I appreciate not having to deal with loud children, kids running around, throwing food on the ground etc. I have no problem with well behaved kids and the restaurant doesn't either. If you're offended by this policy you're essentially saying your child is ill behaved and you're mad other people don't want to deal with it (obviously special needs kids are an exception). Anyway, good food and great atmosphere. Will definitely go again next time I visit the area.

Great customer service! Delicious food. Award winning clam chowder which is the best on the Peninsula. Elegant place to dine in. Great place for family, friends, or a date night. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place; I'd give it more than 5 stars it was an option. It's a MUST GO!

I wish this place was closer to me! I would eat here everyday. People who are easily offended about the policy need to understand and find place more suitable to their needs. It isn’t just about one individual or family. You can’t please everyone! Bravo to this restaurant for creating such a peaceful environment!

With so many restaurants on the wharf that have nearly identical menus it was hard to choose the right place. I think we did ok with this one. They have some good combination options and a broad appetizer selection. The ambiance is very nice and comforting. The service was the star here....very impressive staff. Where they fell short was the freshness of the lobster and shrimp. We all felt it was a bit tough. My scallops and salmon were fine though. And their deserts are fantastic.

Incredible food. Best clam chowder I have ever had. The ousters had absolutely no grit or sand in them. The service was excellent. The policy with children was a little surprising but understandable. It is not a McDonald's play place. There are other more child friendly restaurants just down the warf. My kid did end up being loud a few times and we were never told off for it. I think they just want you to try to keep it down.
