Since the new owners took over, Inlet Cafe is just a disaster. We went back three times since then, and each was worse than the last. 2+ hour waits for cold, bad food, or no food at all. Tables all around us were upset, some even walked out after giving up. Everyone dearly misses the original Inlet Cafe!

Nice indoor/outdoor space, right on the water. Above average food for a place of this type, above average wine list, food comes out pretty quickly.

Great spot to have a cocktail and enjoy the views, watch the boats go by! Good food too! Make you feel right at home!

Why does no one answer the phone?? I was here once years ago & loved the food & the owner, so I have always wanted to go back. I’ve been calling all week to confirm if they’re open year-round, or at all at this point if they’re open at all, since their last Facebook post was in March 2023. If not for finally seeing the Google reviews that are only 1-3 weeks old I would have assumed they went out of business.

Clam chowder was between 'good' and 'ok'. The brussel sprouts very very tasty.The wait staff seemed indifferent (at best) to us. She did not want to be there and wore it all over.

Fries are great. Seated us without explaining they were understaffed. Waited over an hour for appetizer then another 30 mins before bringing out one sandwich. When we finally got their attention, it was another 10 mins before my food arrived. Mostly lettuce. No explanation or apology. Not going back.

We’ve been coming here 50 years. No more. The lobster roll was really celery and Mayo on a stale roll. 2 tiny. pieces of lobster. For 29 dollars. A lot is missing from the menu too. Service was good but the place was empty. They should be ashamed of that lobster roll. After 50 years we won’t be back. So sad. What happened?

My first visit was Summer 2021 and the place was fantastic; great food and service.I visited just a few months back around Mother's day and couldn't believe the difference. Food was cold by the time it arrived. Service was embarrassingly slow. I don't know what happened, but the owners need to pull it together or this place will go under for sure.

Service and atmosphere were great. Food was good too but I have it 4 stars because they had no draft beer at all and no local beers either. Still a worthwhile visit.Parking: Street parking can be hard to find. Expect a little walk.
Enjoyed a great lunch today. The crabcake sandwich was delicious as always. Beautiful views outside too. A big thank you to our server, Brooke, for providing excellent service!

Service a little slow with only working 3 tables. Returned water..tasted like iodine.Lobster roll..ok..heavy on the mayo..could have used more in the roll and though the fries were tasty could have used less.High priced, but worth the view.

We were heading "next door" originally & decided to Have a quick cocktail & check this place out before heading over. WELL, The atmosphere here, the music & the "Right Next To The Water!" Seating made us decide to stay & have dinner. Best decision we made! Staff was so so friendly, the cocktails tasty. Very fairly priced menu & the Food was Delious and portions def not small. Snd Raw Bar and Seafood! What a view. And best of all, the place is clean & casusl and not "over the edge" so fancy that you would feel uncomfortable coming here in any type of attair.Definitely should give this place a try if you like good food & non stuffy atmosphere.

Teach the staff to not be angry due issues in the kitchen and sit show anger to the customers. Bartender showed angler when we tried to order food.

disgusting filthy over priced and terrible service. Both the food and the service were terrible, and 3 times more expensive than under previous ownership. now closed for health violations no liquor lic for most of summer.
