New to Island. Used the restaurant review section of this site to make a selection. Hemingway's "two good seafood places around" and they are one of them. ?? That place should be shut down. The food was horrible the place smelled like mold and there was some old lady walking around with red teeth like she was tore up on red wine. I cant imagine they are selling the "best" seafood. Too bad too, seems like a waste to let that view go with a horrible establishment. I put a call into the management the next day and never got a call back. Some one needs to do some follow up on these reviews.

The Narrows is always excellent. Lukes for Tuna ( Happy Hour is a great deal)and Crab cakes. Annies for Italian and Steaks.

NTKI --
I am with you 100%. I've havent been there in a while, but when I did....
I guess some people have different tastes. There are some "ok" seafood places around, but I don't think the area has any BEST's. Harris' is way over priced, as is Annie's (More Steak). The Narrows, over priced...Fishermans...overpriced.
Wait...
Wow.. we need a Long John Silvers.

Every place has an off day. H'ways just remodeled the whole place and got their very good chef back. I haven't been there in a few months, but the last few times that I ate there I liked it a lot. You are not only paying for the food, but the whole 'experience', which includes service, atmosphere, and an awesome view. I'm sure that the owners and/or managers at Hemingway's would like to know if you had a bad experience and I'm sure that something would have been done to make your experience better if they had known. Sorry that you had a less than stellar experience there. Also, anyone can write a review - feel free to write a few and Email them to me. I go out to eat a lot (too much) and can honestly say that we have quite a few really good places for seafood here. The Narrows, Annie's, Fisherman's, Kentmorr, are all good. Annie's Crab Imperial is amazing, The Narrows has a great crab cake and sea bass, Kentmorr has a good Ribs & Crabcake combo, Fisherman's has a little bit of everything, etc...

Interesting to hear the different views on Hemingways. It used to be on of our favorites about 5 years ago and then it went downhill FAST! I was thinking of going there to see if they've gotten their act together but now I'm a little reluctant. The Narrows has always been a winner and Annies can be, too, most of the time.

Seriously, let me get this straight.
Customer to waiter..."excuse me waiter, my meal doesn't seem right"
Waiter to customer..."well, that's the way it's served. Look out the window at the bridge, the food taste better when you do"
