Happy hour rocks on outside deck, and apps are great. Younger hangout, and teen night offered. The food in restaurant was good, and fast service. More

The ONLY reason I gave this restaurant 2 stars (or TripAdvisor dots) is because our waiter was very nice. I visited this place with my boyfriend, his father, his sister, brother-in-law, nephew (7 years old), and niece (4 years old). I thought this restaurant would be good for a nice dinner, but I was wrong. The hostess was EXTREMELY rude... More

It seems like they do not know how to host here. It took a very long time for them to get it together and seat people. Also, the food is just bad. I ordered a seared tuna rare, and it was cooked through, not to mention it was not a good quality tuna. I complained that it was crap and... More

We arrived at the Ketch tonight at the peak of dinner time, 4 adults and 7 kids. The hostess quickly pulled together two tables out on the lower level, evergreen enclosed, patio. I was pleasantly surprised to see quality, heavy, outdoor wood furniture VS the plastic tables and chairs someone wrote about in a previous review (maybe they were speaking... More

Very very disappointed with our last visit. They advertise a 2 for 1 lobster bake for Fridays, however this is not as it seems. There is an upgrade charge so you have to get 1lb lobsters for any sort of special. Then on top of it they charge you extra for the sides w/o telling you up front. I am... More

Sat outside on the patio. Menu looked interesting. Appetizers were a mixed bag. Waitress brought us a dozen steamers (she apologized that things were not going well in the kitchen). Entrees came out - not a good one in the bunch. Most completely flavorless! Bad night or just bad? Try another restuarant. More
