Absolutely loved it! The crab dip was delicious and the lobster roll was on point!

Food was good! The service was TERRIBLE!!! If you want anything other than water, that's a big problem. You want your server to check on you every now and then? Nope. If you can ignore that it's a good place.

The food was just okay and the service was awful! Do not order the 32 oz cocktail for $21. A member of our party ordered a 32oz margarita with no ice and when it came out it did not even fill up two 12oz classes. Its a total scam and when she asked the server about it he looked at her with a blank face. Another member of our party ordered the pasta and it taste like vinegar. Try Legal Seafood.

This was the perfect laid back spot to grab some seafood. Great location right on the water and some seafaring atmosphere. Love this place!!

The food was good as was the drink I ordered. The service was awful. It took a while to get someone to acknowledge we were there. Waitress did not check on us. Once we finished eating just gave us a check. Never asked if we wanted more drinks and never checked on us.

The food was great. The service is great after they acknowledge you, which takes a minute.

Too expensive 27$ for a lobster roll with about half a pound of lobster ....

Overated and over-priced. Service was great and nice outdoor atmosphere in their patio tent.
