Reviews
The food is wonderful. I had the chicken soup and stuffies. Both were delicious. The service was excellent and accommodating to our group of fifteen with their various dietary restrictions. It's also a beautiful spot overlooking the water.
The food is phenomenal! We've always had delicious meals at Frank and John from Italy on the Water. The service is good as well especially considering it's not a huge restaurant with a ton of servers. Meals come out on time without any issues. They were even nice enough to let us order right before they closed the first time we visited the restaurant. I didn't realize they closed at 9:00PM on the day we went. The restaurant also has a lot of windows over looking a pretty view of the pond and an outdoor deck if you'd like to eat outside. I'll definately recommend this restaurant and will be back.
Food was good. Nice staff. Very casual ambiance. Would be nice during the summer.
