Posting the photo from my yelp review considering the owner is calling me a liar for my honest review of rude service received at the establishment. Below is my honest review:
I've frequented this bar/restaurant over the years and the service has just gotten worse and worse. Servers have no courtesy or common manners. Told the host we wanted just drinks and apps, not a problem with them and then proceeded to wait for 45 minutes for a table on a Thursday evening. Ordered calamari as we decided on a round of drinks, when the app came out our server Jackie (with an extreme attitude) told us we HAD to order meals in order to sit in their restaurant. We responded by saying the host told us it was fine to get drinks and apps. She then said no that's not acceptable and came over to drop the check immediately after, even though we were about to order a round of drinks. She then proceeded to walk by staring at our table with another server laughing and watching us. Very immature and inappropriate service. I totally understand if there is a restaurant policy, but that should be stated up front before having a party wait and without an attitude.

When you arrive at the restaurant you have to pay 30$ for a voucher/parking which you can use for paying your food. Someone brought us to our table and we waited almost 20min until someone came to take our order.
The food wasn’t good, easy fried and served with plastic flatware and on plastic plates. It wasn’t worth the money.

Great staff except for the Manager (Michelangelo) who had absolutely no judgment and killed our experience. After spending a couple of hours on the outside deck with our dog and spending a few hundred dollars in food and clothing, the Manager told us that we had to leave immediately on account of us having a dog and the outdoor deck was closed. Eventhough the staff offered a last call, the Manager came around to tell us that we couldn't pursue our evening outside or have a last call because the deck was closed. He said 'if we do it for you then we have to do it for everyone else', meanwhile we were the only customers left on the deck!
Food is mid, no ventilation inside so it’s so hot and humid and obviously outrageous prices. They LITERALLY serve you with paper plates and cups and plastic forks. For being near the beach and charging so much they should AT LEAST get some real plates and cutlery. Oh, and there was a hair in my fish sandwich. So disgusting, but they were happy to make a new one at least. Please make your cooks wear hair nets. Thanks
$30 for parking that gets reduced or reimbursed but only for food.
Don't ask to be seated at an actual table if you're just having drinks and appetizers. For that you have to have full meals for everyone. So the "just drinks and apps" folks are relegated to relatively small SRO bar area.
I don't know what the food is like. We left after our second failed attempt for the four of us to get one of the many open tables.

Fun casual atmosphere. Great casual seafood (shrimp tacos). But: there’s no view except maybe a little from the bar, parking is very hard to get, it’s not fine dining and more like a fun bar with good food.
Remember, you share a tiny parking lot with a popular local beach. When it’s full, it’s full. Tip: come after 2 PM on a week day. Swimmers and lunch diners start to leave.

While getting to the restaurant was challenging the food was great. I had to park up the street at the beach parking and pay $30 to park. It is a cool beach atmosphere and a very popular restaurant. My kids loved going down to the beach and saw some seal’s swimming in the water. Staff was quick and friendly. It is exactly what you picture for a beach restaurant.
Definitely lived up to the hype! We stopped here for lunch on the way up to Provincetown. We arrived right before it opened, and people were already lined up to get in. We were charged $30 for parking, but then given a voucher to put that $30 towards our meal. We were seated immediately and the food came out fast. Everything was delicious - the oysters, lobster roll and fish and chips were all very tasty. It was nice to be able to sit outside and then walk over to the beach after our meal. I would highly recommend it!
