    Great service! The food was amazing. I enjoyed my Caesar salad; the steak and lobster were cooked to perfection, and the risotto was the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a wonderful view of the grounds overlooking the ocean.

    A real surprise! A relaxing meal with our feet iin the sand, a view of the water, and swaying palms (summering in CT...the palms, that is). The service was excellent! Friendly, helpful, just great. The food was fine, better than average bar food (but a little more clam juice and a little less cream in the clam chowder would help). The trappings make the meal. We'll be back.

    Liv’s never disappoints whether I go for oysters and a cocktail at happy hour, have a low key but amazing burger or ramp up to a several course dinner. Food is delicious, service is outstanding and friendly, and the space is pretty and bustling. I highly recommend for any occasion.
