I'm going to go ahead and give them five stars. The West Coast Oysters were delicious alongside collasal shrimp. Stiff drinks. Great service. Terrific beach feeling. Overall a great lunch at the bar overlooking the marina. Definitely will be back.

Really enjoyed this place. Very pretty ambiance overlooking the water and boats without that usual fishy smell. Great food and good service, although it took us 20-25 minutes to get our check at the end which is why I gotta deduct a star. … More

Great views and very nice restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. The mussels were very good. My husband ordered the kale pizza and really liked it. I had the fettucini which came with crab and a butter sauce instead of Alfredo. It left something to be desired. Not too much flavor. I would definitely go back and try something else.

Been here before, always very good as was this last visit. I was taken back by the small portion when my entree arrived. Another bacon scallop and a bit more risotto would have been nice! More

I wanted to love this place, but I really liked it! Ambiance alone gets 10/10. The property is expansive with amazing views, inside or out. I had a reservation, that earned me an immediate table inside or a 20-25 minute wait for outside. I … More

The drinks were well worth their price and the food was excellent. Crispy oysters were some of the best oysters I've ever had. Their buffalo octopus was very tender. New England chowder had a good balance of clams to other ingredients. Was very impressed with the food. Nice to be near the water as well.

We had a family celebration at the Beach Tavern and were completely satisfied with the way it was handled from the planning to the menu selection. The room was fine, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I recommend the Filet Menon as one of the options. This review was an honest review by a real customer. More
