  Soggy broccoli and wet beds of pasta. The wait staff are always terrible. Once we were served by this sassy 13 yr old ‘friend of the family’ who was subbing in because the owners cook had heart troubles and the only waitress took him to the hospital. The Florida kitsch is okay. Also, many many Mosquitos. Also, no air conditioning. Again, soggy vegetables. Wet pasta. Do yourself a favor and DONT EVER TAKE A DATE OR FAMILY here. It was incredibly embarrassing. Attached is a picture of the mango salsa Salmon dish. So much garlic… Cheapo canned mango salsa. And the ‘so epic I had to take a picture’ our doggy bag. Literally looks like vomit. But I kid you not, the owner himself said, let me get you a zip loc for your leftover pasta! Jesus H on a cracker.

  July 2018New England Mooring,SE 16th Pl., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.I order a appetizer of onion rings & the Fisherman Platter.WOW what a big mistake!!! TOO much food. TOO Delicious to not eat or attempt to eat it all.The onions are hand cut and fried to perfection.The Fisherman Platter is a large platter with a bit of everything. Perfect if you cannot decide what you want.My only issue is the tartar sauce. They make their own and I hate it.I love the free sampling and the service has been on the ball.A throw back to a floridian 1970 period. Fun and tacky looking…A good place to be. August 2017New England Mooring, SE 16th Place, Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.Chatter, I have been here many times. ( unfortunately not open for lunch , I would be here more often)…They have yet to disappoint me. This time around , I am here with my wifey. A new thing here is the Echo. The modern day version of the juke box. But you pay no money and speak of the singer you want to hear…….In a place that is in a time warp for the 70’s Floridians.The food and extras they give me, We share fried zucchini plus given some fried garlic bread, excellent. I had a special of shark and angel hair pasta with garlic sauce. My wife the Trio, shrimp, grilled scallops and Maryland crab cakes . As always they met and exceeded my expectations. Of course the Irish cannoli’s and free Amaretto drinks. A wonderful dessert drink.Two things were substandard, the cole slaw, no big whoop plus the AC was lacking. Though a fan was directed my way. Overall outstanding service and food.A must try place.May 2017New England Mooring, SE 16th Pl., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is some chit chat and my 2 cents on the food.Chatter. If you know of this eatery, you should go more often. If you never have heard of or been to you are missing out. This is a funky kitschy restaurant that is old school Florida. Granted the outside is showing a bit of worn. Its the quality, quantity and prices. That you enjoy.NOTE: This is the ONLY eatery that gives you FREE samples of their various items. Without asking. This is a SOP of the owners.The food. A taste of their margaretta was outstanding. Best I ever had. ( no brandy here 🙁 )I got the fried green tomatoes. Wonderful. A sample of the bread sticks, crunchy.. Main entree Chefs seafood platter… WOW your taste buds have a orgasm that tells you ALL the shrimp,fish, scallop etc. are fresh as can be. Ahh but one thing they fall down on, the house made tartar sauce. Not enough flavor too much mayo. A tasting of the Irish cannoli finished a outstanding meal…You must try this local institution…Just a block off Del Prado.Service was great.Kitchy fun-good food, Old time Florida. Well if you need a break from everyday type eatery & wish a little oddball fun…come here.This is the old style kitschy Florida vibe restaurant. Fun for kids, parents . One and all.This Moorings is hidden from view off a main drag in The Cape. It was surprising to me as it was only a 10 minute ride from my house.I was pointed and lured here by a gift certificate. Remember I am a frugal diner.. Enough chit chat we are here for the food.As most seafood places are a bit high in prices this is no exception. BUT. They made up by dropping off samples of various things. From fish to dessert with a amaretto drink. It was WONDERFUL..I was hungry so I got the Onion ring appetizer. Hand cut,breaded and fried so tasty.I then went out of my comfort zone and order Scrod with a mango Salsa. I had no idea what scrod was but it was good. Fried and golden brown on outside moist & delicate on the inside. The salsa was tangy and sweet.. I do not like mango per se. This was good.. Now more chit chat.The TV’s were playing video from music shows 20+ years gone by. The table were such that when its crowded you will be sharing them with strangers. The decorations were Floridian tacky and fun of by gone days.Over all a great experience with food and frolic.
