I got a seafood dish. It was pretty good, but not for what I paid. The seem to crank the food out quickly and don't really take the time to prepare the meals. I'd go again, but maybe just for an appetizer and a drink.

We enjoyed this restaurant ... there is something on the menu that will meet all tastes. Had a delicious filet and it was done perfectly.

We visited on a Saturday with a part of 6 and the wait was 25 minutes. The staff, young females as far as we could tell, were friendly, but not very knowledgeable regarding the menu and bar. For a bar a big detractor was no draft beer. I had a seafood primavera with a marinara sauce that was too sweet.... More

Another great lunch at this busy establishment. We started with the blacken chicken quesadilla which comes with a black bean and corn salsa. Husband had the chicken cheese steak sandwich with the stuffed potatoes. I tried the Mahi Mahi over Brussels sprouts which were delicious. The Mahi was a lunch special which came with the lettuce wedge for only $13.00.... More

After reading the reviews to this place we decided to give it a try. We expected great food and especially great seafood. Started out with shrimp cocktail, it was 6 shrimp for 13 dollars...PRICEY! My blackened salmon was bland which was a first. Usually any fish that is blackened is very tasty. The jasmine rice it came on top of... More

The food is always consistently good here and the atmosphere is very friendly. The ribs and jambalays are favorites for me and my wife.

We decided to see if it was open a Saturday in February. Some restaurants, or most are closed during the Winter. We had to send someone it to see if it was open. Even the wait staff noticed it looked like they were closed. The wait staff was fairly pleasant, one waitress stood out as very bubbly and happy. She... More

Winter visit to summer house while visiting our summer house on a winter weekend. Food is fresh and good. Service was a little less friendly then usual which was odd. Salads were very good, seafood pasta was very good, the steak sandwich was dissapointing, dry and bland. It was a mixed bag on this visit. We've been coming for 4... More

My wife and I dined at Summerhouse a couple of times in the last few weeks. Although it is off season, the place was pretty crowded. The food was excellent. I had the lobster bisque, great flavor and enough lobster chunks. For our main course, my wife had pork chops, which were done perfectly, and I had a mixed fish... More
