Food: Blandness abound with every bite

Tony’s tops dishes, namely the Steamed Clams with Butter and Garlic, Smoked Salmon Chowder and the Baked Halibut, may boast generous servings, but fall horribly flat in the taste department. Notably, the food unleashes the same odd flavor across all dishes, leaving a sour taint on the generous portions. More chilling were the complaints about the freshness of seafood which often appeared overcooked or had a fishy aroma. The uninspiring menu also lacks any sense of creativity, reducing the dining experience to an overpriced and underwhelming ordeal.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, huge portions, often leading to leftovers and take-home bags.

  • Okay Taste

    Food ranges from delicious to average, with mixed sentiments.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited menu with no substitutions led to a less enjoyable experience.

Vibe: Amazing ambiance amidst antiquated aesthetics

The restaurant remarkably rescues its reputation with its cosy and romantic vibe. Live music often adds a spark to the dining experience as diners soak in the breathtaking views of the ocean. Alcohol afficionados will appreciate the impressive selection of strong cocktails served by knowledgeable bartenders. Yet, its retro, outdated decor gives it an unintended flashback to the 1980s vibe which bullishly bulldozes the quaint appeal of the place

  • Great Views

    Views are consistently praised as breathtaking, enhancing dining experience.

  • Bad Buzz

    Outdated decor and a flashback to the 1980s is seen as a negative.

Perks: Stressful seating with sulky staff

Parking poses a pain point for frequents, with the lack of validation swiftly soaking up bucks. The cacophony clinches it with noise levels often making conversations a chore. Reservation restrictions and cramped outdoor seating do little to cushion the blow. The lack of accmodations for gluten-free diets or children's needs further diminishes the establishment's appeal. Various reviews do mention friendly and attentive staff, presented amidst a lively atmosphere.

  • Okay Service

    While often praised for friendliness, some service aspects noted as average.

  • Bad For Pets

    Hostess's rude comment deterred customer from dining with kids.
