The majority of the reviews on Tony's praise the restaurant for having a great view, which is true--we got to watch a seal darting through the waves right by our table, a heron catching fish, the surf hitting the beach. Given the atmosphere of the place with the low lighting and live music, I expected to be blown away by my $22 charbroiled scallops and clam linguine. It started out good-the cheese garlic bread was tasty enough to eat hand over fist, and the cocktails were also pretty decent (though small). My disappointment began with the dinner salad, which was a couple chunks of iceberg with egg and what tasted like coleslaw sauce. I thought the smoked salmon chowder was amazing, but then again I was really hungry. Once the entree came, I expected to see a little bit more on my plate, not that I have a gigantic gut to fill, but for more than a $20 bill, I had better have to box half of it by the time I'm done eating. Not so. If the garlic bread hadn't been so good, I could have easily polished off that plate with room to spare, and I am a pretty small girl. Quality wise, the scallops were nice; they're pretty hard to screw up. The linguine was a little hard in some spots, soft in others...kinda made me imagine it all came from a giant vat in the back somewhere. I dumped on some salt though, and it was pretty good. \r

The server was pleasant and friendly, no complaints there.\r

All in all, it's not as ""freshly made to order"" as I would have expected. But I'd go again..and get something cheaper.
Pros: great location
Cons: red-lobsterish food
