    First-time here and loved it. Wife got a steamed lobster and a shrimp platter. She loved it. My 10oz sirloin was cooked perfectly medium. Juicy and the sauce delicious. It came with a side of broccoli mash potatoes which I had to keep my wife from eating all of them

    Very good seafood in a restaurant that cares about fish and freshness and doesn’t feel compelled to fry or bread it all. A great spot.

    Food was great, I ordered the combo fried fish plate. Had the fish, shrimp and clamps strips. Food was great, but for $35 there could have been more than 1 small fish stick about 4 inches x 2 inches, maybe 1 cup of clam strips, but the 4 fried shrimp were a good size, and the French fries are the cheapest part of the platter, and there could have been more to make it look like I got alot of food. All came in a small plastic basket. The food was real good, but the quantity could be better for the price, is what im saying.

    I went here with a group of nine friends, and we all had such a great experience! The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and the staff did a fantastic job handling a big group like ours. Everyone ordered something different, which gave us the chance to sample a wide range of dishes — and honestly, everything we tried was delicious. The highlight for me was definitely the clam chowder and lobster roll. The clam chowder smelled amazing the moment it arrived — rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It had that perfect balance of smooth texture with chunks of tender clams that made it really satisfying. The lobster roll was equally impressive — buttery, fresh, and full of sweet lobster meat. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients. I also tried the Midnight Margarita, and it was fantastic — refreshing with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. It paired perfectly with the seafood dishes. One of my friends ordered a whole lobster, and he absolutely loved it. The lobster was cooked perfectly and came out tender and juicy. Overall, we all left happy and full. The portions were generous, the presentation was clean, and the flavors were spot on. Whether you’re going with a group of friends or on a date night, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back!
