Bar service shows moments of excellent attentiveness, but other visits bring delays, a wrong pour, missing items, or a burnt lobster roll with curry dressing and strawberries on a burnt roll and soggy fries. Overall, the experience feels inconsistent and leaves room for improvement, even though some staff members can be pleasant and helpful.View restaurant profile
