I live about 1 1/2 hours outside the city, went on a whim after visiting the children's museum. The food which was lobster Mac and cheese, the barking crab burger and my 6yo got the hot dog. The burger according to my father was great, my child cleared his plate and my lobster Mac and cheese was pure magic. The prices were reasonable and the portions were great. The wait staff were also prompt, polite and very personable. I WILL be going back again next time I'm in the city for sure.

Food was good and served in large portions. Lobster wasn't overcooked but it was immediately corrected with no problems.

This is the cutest place ever and our bartender Fernando(sp?)was amazing. We had multiple apps ahi tuna tacos, calamari, and crab cakes were all delicious. Lobster roll was amazing too! Definitely a great place for seafood and views of the water.

Great fresh seafood. Really chill vibe with good music and nice atmosphere. A little pricy but most seafood is.

Food was very good, service not so much. After delivering our food they forgot about us.

Baked Haddock with asparagus: best fish meal I've ever had. Joshua and staff really friendly and fun; I'll go back to this place any time I'm in Boston. Thanks for the love.
