The outdoor patio is definitely the way to go if weather is permitting. The service was absolutely impeccable. All the food was top notch. We informed our server that we had a concert to get to. They were very accommodating on time and getting us on our way with wonderful food in-between.
I drove to Connecticut for a 3k walk/ 5k run on a beautiful Sunday. I looked for a place to have lunch afterwards and stumbled on this gem. I did not have a reservation and the hostess was very nice and gave me a table without any hesitation. The views were stunning and the food was absolutely delicious. My waitress and the rest of the staff were so attentive, I did not feel rushed even when the restaurant was starting to get busy.
Had a fun day with family at this modern restaurant by the Bridgeport, CT harbor. The summer afternoon crowd adds to the ambiance. The service is great and the food is tasty and presented well. We had nachos, chicken, cheese burger and tuna tacos. It's a fun place... you, your friends and family will enjoy!
For what this restaurant is, I give it a five my husband would give it a four, comparing it to more very upscale restaurants. The food was very good. The drinks were very good. I would highly recommend this place for an upscale casual drinks and food experience. If you’re interested in lobster ravioli you should definitely try it! It was delicious. oysters were very good, but I visit Maine and have oysters from fresh out of the oyster Farms. They’re not quite as good as those! Ambience on this beautiful September evening was great. We were out on the deck. Ships were in the harbor, and it was lovely. I had the poke bowl, which I enjoyed very much and included a picture of. I also put a picture of my consumed oysters… I recommend this place! Have a good time.
Why here? We arrived a bit early for the ferry to Port Jefferson and decided that we could no longer ignore Boca while traveling through Bridgeport. Very happy with our decision and experience under the circumstances. Parking was easy and plentiful during a a late afternoon lunch period. The hostess was attentive and managed to locate the only shaded table left at the outdoor dining area. The facilities were well maintained. A beautiful sunny 80 degree summer afternoon complimented the ambience. Our server was friendly and gave her opinion on thejalapeno cole slaw. My blackened salmon BLT was delicious, and the side of cole slaw was a perfect side compliment. My wife had the cod tacos and enjoyed the dish. Our drinks, a Manhatten and Mojito were not watered down and were well balanced. The abutting Marina enhanced the seafood aroma and aesthetic. For the summer season, a wonderful and recommended choice. It will be our first choice should time allow during our travels.
