“ Their seafood taste like how seafood should nice and fresh especially their fried clams I didn’t have a hard time chewing it. It was delicious . I ordered a lobster wrap with French Fries and mashed potatoes. I wasn’t a big fan or the fries and mashed potato’s but the fries I know other people would love it I just like a different type of fries but I would give the fries 4 stars out of 5 and the mashed potato’s a 2. But I’ve dined in their a few times I love their customer service they are fast they treat you with respect and I love their salads it’s very fresh as well. ”
“ The waitress was great!! She was the only server there and tended the bar as well. Excellent job as you can see in photos. Everything was excellent the only reason I gave all 4 star for food is because the pasta was too overdone for my liking. Im more of an 'al dente' girl myself otherwise it was good! ”
“ Very impressed and surprised. This place was so busy tonight, a Friday. The chicken Oscar, which is chicken and lobster with broccoli and mozarella in a lemon butter sauce,was fantastic. Drinks were delicious. The garlic bread with alfredo and blue cheese was to die for. Sweet potato fries, although admittedly frozen by the waitress, were so good. I was really surprised with the quality of the food. My husband, with years as a chef, noted that although the kitchen was very quiet, it's a good thing. It means the cooks are focused and good at what they do. The kitchen is open and you can see them cooking. Food was flying out like crazy but the back was so calm. Nice experience. The only thing amiss was they forgot my salad which was a 3.00 upcharge. When I mentioned this upon paying my bill, they comped my salad but still gave me one to go with our leftovers. Very generous portion, could only finish half my plate. We are very happy! ”
“ The fat cat nachos are delicious! too much for one person. The fish and chips don’t last long enough for a picture ”
