    I ordered DoorDash and got the ribeye steak well done. It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. I also added sautéed mushrooms. I took a bite of the steak, a mushroom, a little mashed potato, and about an inch of asparagus. I shoved it all in my mouth, and it was like fireworks. It was like the Fourth of July in my mouth. I don't recommend the garlic bread mine tasted strange I can't place the taste it wasn't so bad that I didn't finish eating all of it but I did have to throw it in the air fryer and cook it a little more.

    I did a Google search for the best clam chowder bowls and this place came up high on the list. Not sure how or why but I can say I was not impressed. Cute inner decor but thats where it stopped. They do not have Clam chowder bowls. You can order a bowl of clam chowder but it was not good. Extremely thick and chunky with no flavor and very little clams. The calamari was fried in a fluffy airy batter that was good. Unfortunately these were the smallest calamari rings I've ever seen so they didnt stay in the batter well. I ate a bunch of fried better. It was supposed to come with marinara and aoli which I asked for extra. The waitress came back with marinara only as if I wouldn't realize the aoli was missing. I waited a while for her to return and after about 5 minutes decided to go to the front myself to ask for aoli. In front of me she grabs a bottle of what looked like tartar sauce, squeezes it in a cup in front of me then tells me she will deliver it to my table. Never knew it came in a squeeze bottle like that but I will try to find it in the store now and attempt my own calamari and aoli. I was extremely disappointed that this place came with such high marks when nothing aligned. The service was also not good until it was time to pay the check. Then the friendly came out. A family of 4 came in as i was dining and they didnt seem too impressed when they got their food either. It may have been a bad day but my taste buds want to say no that's the best they do. To each his own but I wasnt impressed and had to keep getting up to find the waitress when there was only the 2 tables at the time. She got nice and that was great but I was able to see through the timing of it. They serve Coke products in a can so not sure if they offer referrals or if you pay per can.
