Good spot on the water in Warren. They've done a great done with the remodel and the ambiance is great. Love the oyster chandeliers. There's outdoor seating and booths and tables inside. There's also space upstairs for events.
Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Moderately busy. Good selection of wines, though I ended up getting the fall sangria. The sangria was somewhat sweet but pretty good and probably had all the fall flavors in one glass.
For food, we got the gazpacho and the Asian fish tacos. The gazpacho is poured tableside and was good. The fish in the taco itself was pretty good though I didn't like the toppings that went with it. There were too many flavors and didn't go well.
Overall good place for drinks with good ambiance on the water. Food was alright, could be better and the prices were bit too steep for some of the items. There's parking lot for the restaurant. Service was good. -

Waited for a drink at bar for 20 minutes. Only two bartenders and they were very slow. No cocktail waiter or waitress. I was literally trying to give my money away. Bartenders need to pick there heads up when working or they need to hire more.
Looks like a very older crowd but nice. Just don't have time for a 3 hour dinner -

Where do I begin. Well parking was a complicated issue. But I understand some places in small towns have parking issues of all sorts so I'm willing to ignore that. But strange that the parking lot was so full and no parking on the streets for a few blocks however the restaurant was not anywhere close to being full. I'd hate to see it on a busy day.
The atmosphere is very typical of trendy restaurants. Kinda been trying too hard.
The wait staff was young and not very well trained. Yes they knew their menu. Which I'm glad somebody did because the menu was vague at best. It would list the major food item but not mention any of the sides that come with it. Nor does the menu have sides listed separately. Nor does the menu have the same sides for every dish. Nor do they give you the option to swap sides out. For someone with diabetes, dietary restrictions or allergies, this is an absolute nightmare.
I, myself, have diary and gluten allergy so I asked for a separate gluten free menu and they didn't have one. So I had to ask the waitress every dish I was interested in ordering and then she would tell me what the side dishes were for those items...and it was different for every dish.
Finally I order my meal with gluten free pasta which the waitress was kind enough to go verify with the chef that it was an option. Getting refills on water and drinks was nonexistent. Bread for the table didn't exist (not for me but for my starving friends). So we all waited very hangry and very thirsty. Finally our food arrives and we devour it so fast....mostly because we were hungry. They finally refilled drinks when the food was served despite all the wait staff standing around talking at the hostess desk.
My friends hated their food but ate it because we were crazy hungry. I devoured my whole meal before I realized that they served me regular pasta and not gluten free pasta. I realized when I was rushing to the bathroom. I walked in the bathroom and there was a guy standing there with his wang in his hand staring at me. I dived in the bathroom stall and the guy stood outside the stall door for a minute. As if the night couldn't get any worse, As we left all the young clueless waitstaff had to say goodbye in creepy unison as we are leaving with frowns and cramps. -

Came here for lunch with family on a weekday. Pretty busy. Did not make a reservation and was still seated immediately.
Appetizer:
Calamari - pretty good, nice portion for a table of four. Comes with both rings and tentacles.
Main Course:
Asian Fish Tacos - comes with two pretty large tacos. It's served with large pieces of panko crushed white fish, avocado, shredded lettuce, wakame, sesame, and a side of asian marinade which was really good.
Dessert:
Chocolate Chip Cannoli Cake - really, really good. Highly recommend this one. The icing between the layers of cake consisted of cannoli filing that was pretty good.
The place inside is very pretty. I absolutely loved the view of the water as well. Service was fast and friendly. One thing I really did not like was the tap water that they give you. I understand it's just tap water but it just didn't taste very good and kind've grossed me out. The water was clean and clear, but did not have a good taste to it at all. Other than that though, I do recommend this place for lunch or dinner with either a date, friends, or family. It's great for everyone. -

First off, as other have mentioned they did a great job with the remodel. There are views of the water from just about every seat in the dining room.
I've been here twice for lunch now. Both times I ordered the chicken wrap special. I believe the first time it was a chicken bacon ranch and last week was a chicken cajun. The first time the chicken and the wrap as a whole was on the dry side. This past visit it was a bit better. During my first visit my lunch companion ordered the hamburger and only had a few bites. She thought the burger itself was bland and overcooked. During the last visit my husband had the fish tacos and thought they were OK. I've had both the Caribbean and the meatball appetizer and both were good. The food was OK, but nothing special. I expected more especially for the waterview pricing.
Service was good during both of my visits. I'll probably go back, but it's not going to be in my regular rotation.
