We were told 15 minutes @ 1230 to be seated; waited only 5. Yes, food is perhaps a bit overpriced but my Lobster Ravioli was quite good. Oysters were the highlight and did not disappoint. Know going in that you're paying a little for the unique experience and ambiance as you are the food and then just soak up and enjoy!

I had the Broiled Scrod with acorn squash. The best flavored tartar sauce ever (not a fan of tartar sauce, but this completinented the scrod perfectly. Slaw was good also. My granddaughter had the mac and cheese which was Kraft mac and cheese flavored. Fries were good. Had it not been mac and cheese from a box flavored, they would get 5 stars. Daughter's cold lobster salad was good. Will go back again next time in Boston. Prices were reasonable for seafood, portion and location.

I have been here twice, had oysters twice, delicious scallops and Lobster Newburgh which was also delicious. The wait staff was always tremendous even when they were new they made up for it with personality....I trust the oysters here and I have been known to get sick from oysters from other establishments.
