The atmosphere in here is not fine dining. It has so much character and that's what really made this place for me more than anything. If you're traveling to Boston and are craving seafood you should expect to pay more in general anyways but this place compared to other places actually seemed to have the better pricing for being right in Boston.

My wife and I went here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. We were both craving crab and lobster and this definitely fit the bill. We had Dungeness crab and lobster. The food was excellent it came out quickly and our waiter was superior. The atmosphere it's very casual. My wife and I will probably slightly overdressed. Jeans and a t-shirt are just fine for this place. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

We sat at a high top by the window and bar. Ok seating. Service was awesome! Food was delicious! Lobster empanadas were great. Had fire grilled lobster and crab bowl. All was good. Recommend and will go again when in town.
