My family and I are locals who visit this restaurant at least once a week, all year long for the past 6 years- we are there in the winters when we are many times the only table in the place! We used to call this our favorite restaurant because we were treated like family by all of the staff for being so loyal-However, we will never set foot in this restaurant again after the way we were recently treated. We had made a special request ahead of time for a particular seafood item to be ordered with the other weekly seafood items when the chef placed his order for the week?s fresh fish as usual, and after a few phone calls to the friendly hostess/manager, it was accommodated, but with an attitude and vulgar language from the chef. But in the middle of our dinner, the chef stormed over to our table and screamed at us that he was in charge of the kitchen, that patrons come there for him, that he decides what food is served, and to stop ""harassing"" his employees for special requests. I am writing this review to make any tourists aware that this crazy person is the chef cooking your food, and while we've had some great meals there for the past several years, it is not worth being ridiculed and screamed at in a fine dining establishment by a psycho chef (or any other staff member), and I certainly wouldn?t want to eat food cooked under his direction ever again! And by the way, the food and drink on the deck bar is frozen food quality and overpriced, and the drinks are just as overpriced and watered down, and the downstairs bar is a claustrophobic low-ceiling dive bar with the same overpriced food. my family and I eat out at fine dining restaurants 2-3 times/week and know what great food/service is (we often drive over an hour to some of our favorite restaurants away from the shore too), so I cannot express enough how honest this review is and how we honestly will never go back to this place after such a negative experience.
Pros: good food most times
Cons: Scary chef, awful service, cramped tables all summer, owner is rude
