Best lobster dinner we had on vacation! The oysters were great too, not to mention the great personal service! Learned how to break and eat the lobster the correct way by personal demonstration.

I have been coming here since the early 90s, always great Oysters and steamers. The staff hasn't changed since then either. A sign of a great establishment. I enjoy visiting at least twice a month!
