Very over rated food. Mediocre at best. Highly disappointed. We got our soup, appetizers and entrees all at the same time. My friends lobster roll was sooooo chewy that her face hurt from trying to chew. Clam chowder was bland. Calamari was over cooked. Fried seafood as “set aside” to keep warm. All the breading was mushy. I would recommend to try a different restaurant. Even the service was below standard.

Any employer would be envious to have an e... read more

Good clam chowder and swordfish. Tried the poor man’s lobster because they don’t serve lobster tail but it was disappointing and too pricey. We tried the Boston cream pie and that did not disappoint, but overall, did not live up to the expectations ..
