  We were looking for a friendly waterfront eatery and this hit the spot!
  
  Very friendly bartenders and the Old Bay shrimp appetizer was enough for a light meal for a couple of seniors LOL.
  
  Surprised to have live entertainment too.

  BEWARE of RAILROADING!
  Do not trust the liquor here.  They pour cheap liquor into top shelf bottles and serve it as such.  I have been drinking Gran Marnier my whole life and ordered a GM tall neat. Bartender poured from the correct bottle but upon taste- what was in my glass was Gran Gala, a cheap knockoff of Gran Marnier.  
  
  If they do this with GM which is easier to detect- they are doing this with other high end liquors including but not limited to Grey Goose, Tito's, so on and so fourth.  This is done to skew liquor costs and turn higher profits.
  
  This action is called RAILROADING and is illegal in every jurisdiction in America.

  I had the Tortellini pasta. It. Was. Amazing.
  Loved it. This is why they get high ratings. A week later, I am still thinking about it.
  
  I also had the fish and chips. This was just okay. I only got two pieces of fish, I would have expected more....but I guess that was enough for my tummy. The taste was fine but nothing to write home about.
  
  Another plus: outdoor seating off the water! LOVE outdoor seating.  
  
  I would dine here again....I would try to try something new...but I can't promise that I would not go running back to the Tortellini.... =-)

  Calamari is 90% batter, 10% squid. Grease-induced stomach aches were inevitable. Service is slow but reliable. The outdoor seating fills up fast on Friday nights, when it's still warm enough to enjoy a few drinks by the water. Otherwise, this place is usually a ghost town.

  It was such a nice day and my brother and I decided that we wanted to eat on the Georgetown Waterfront. Nick's was able to seat us faster than Tony & Joe's restaurant, so we sat outside and began our people watching, enjoy the weather extravaganza.
  
  It was pretty crowded, but not packed. We were greeted pretty promptly by our server and we ordered a couple of alcoholic beverages. Then we ordered our entrees - I got the crab cake sandwich with honey mustard on the side and my brother asked our server his preference between the chicken sandwich and the cheeseburger. Our server said the chicken sandwich was better, so that's what my brother ordered. After my brother ordered, our server looked at me and asked me what I ordered again. About two minutes later, another server came over to me and asked me what I had ordered and I told him. I then watched him walk back to our server to tell him my order and then I saw him type in the POS (point of sales) system, I am assuming he was typing my order. Seems like our server could benefit from writing down orders, not everyone can remember orders.
  
  After a short period, we got our food. My french fries were crunchy and well seasoned, the crab cake sandwich was pretty good. Not the best I have ever had and not the worst. It was good, but nothing to dance over. My brother felt like he got bad advice, lol. He didn't love his chicken sandwich and wished he had gotten a cheeseburger.
  
  The location and outdoor experience was great! This is an average restaurant.
