We waited in line for about an hour on Sunday. Weak drinks, frozen burger patty and sat down to a wet table. Quick service and great music though.

Don’t go without atleast four people otherwise find yourself a seat at the bar. Only rude people I’ve met in Boston.

This place came highly recommended. I was right by here so I decided to grab lunch. It was packed, which is a good thing, and the bar was full. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a lobster roll. It was decent but nothing to write home about. It was WAY overpriced, too. Good location on the water, but a total tourist trap. Glad I got the chance to try a lobster roll, but not pleased with the price. I’m sure there are better restaurants nearby that offer a more competitive price.

Not as good as I remembered from a couple years ago. Very pricey for a casual meal. Fun location! Staff was not very friendly. Coconut shrimp was very yummy!
