Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Definitely a seafood restaurant, with few other options, which is fine. Food was good, enjoyed being on the waterfront overlooking part of the marina. Outside dining was more casual than indoor tables. Heaters were effective for the cool evening.

My friend wanted to stick with dinner at the bar, so that's what we did. We missed any great views that way, but the food and service were good.

In the future... drive past the restaurant and take your first right up a small hill. There is free parking there in a lot.
