  Was here with my family. Ordered clam chowder, it came out almost cold. I was hungry enough to eat it, but after I finished it, I felt weird. I also had a burger which was mediocre. As soon as I finished it, I needed to use the restroom. Not a great experience overall, not sure why the rating is so high. The food quality is something you’d experience in an average pub, which is what it looked like, even though it’s listed as a seafood restaurant on google. Wouldn’t recommend for a great dining experience

  Not a great experience. Clam chowder came out cold and tasted odd. Couldn’t finish a cup of it. Mozzarella sticks were clearly reheated, on the inside one was cold while the other one was warm (not hot). Battered shrimp was good but couldn’t finish more than a couple pieces after the clam chowder experience. Service was fine. Overall, wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend

  Food was great...we had a couple different types of fish and a pub sandwich! Server was pleasant and conscientious when there was error on the prep of one of our items, but could have been a bit better with our drinks & making sure we had everything; took quite a while to get a second round of drinks (restaurant was not busy) and had to request silverware and find salt/pepper myself. Atmosphere was kind of disappointing...there was a non-stop screeching toddler which was a bit unexpected in a bar environment, and then a LOT of flying bugs...might have to do with the alley trash just beyond the fence. Some is to be expected with outdoor dining but had to keep food covered with napkins in between eating.

  We have gone several times for the past 3 years and tried to go tonight for my birthday. The host was very rude and explained there was little staff. He barely looked up from his phone to say that. We got to the bar and the bartender said there wouldn’t be very good service tonight and he wouldn’t be able to get us a drink for a few minutes (in the time it would have taken to pour a beer). We left and went to velvet taco. Go quickly - it may not be there long.

  I cannot say enough kind words about this establishment! The food was PHENOMENAL! Literally the best clam chowder I’ve ever tasted! Their ranch was to die for, and the pretzel they advertised as giant lives to its name! Our server was so attentive, kind and made sure our family of 7 were well taken care of! We never had to ask for anything; she literally ensured it was always there for us! We’re big New England sports fans, so having a place with amazing food, amazing service and our favorite decor is a HUGE plus for us!
