Went for lunch because the dinner wait was too long for my schedule the 3 previous days. The tent side was the only option which was fine with me. My first reaction was the place had character, but seemed a bit sloppy. The bartender was nice and responsive and also took my food order. Lobster and snow crab and a bowl of chowder. The chowder was good, the lobster very tuff and chewy and the snow crab legs over cooked which made the shells soft and rubbery and the meat all stuck to the shell. 75.00 later I likely could of done... read more

When we arrived they sat us at a small very uneven table even though the place was somewhat empty. After we asked to be moved, we ordered the steamers which we couldn’t eat as they were so gritty, super sandy. We also ordered the stuffed mushrooms and the crab dip, nothing to write home about either, the lobster Mac and cheese had very little lobster/ one claw, and over priced for the size portion We were very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it, especially since there are so many other restaurants in the area.
