Best scallops (New Bedford sea scallops) I've had in years. Another place for fried sea scallops is Ed and me or maybe "me and Ed's". 15 minutes from the black whale. Slightly less pricey.

Ordered the clam chowder, scallops wrapped in bacon, nd spicy shrimp apps and the swordfish and seared scallops for dinner followed by cheesecake & carrot cake for dessert. Washed it all down with a bottle of vintage (2014) Kendall Jackson pinot. Yes, it was a lot. But it was our 13th wedding anniversary and we needed a good meal. This turned out to be a GREAT meal. One of the best on the southcoast, not to mention the view. Coming back. Thank you for great food and service.

These high reviews must be relatives ! Sunday menu was high prices & bland food like the wait staff ! $167 at noon ? $17 appetizer of Steamers ruined by hot pepper . Romaine salad & chicken was 80 % romaine . Suppose to be Waterfront? Try a Parking lot !

Always a great stop when I’m in the area! We started at the bar to wait for an outdoor table. The bar staff is attentive and the Bloody Mary amazing with a huge shrimp and stuffed olives adorning the glass! It was delicious! The muscles were amazing . We waited longer than expected but finally got a table. The monkfish is a must have and the steamers were pleasing! We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!
