The food was amazing. Four people could have shared the fisherman platter. Clam chowder was excellent. The weather was great and we ate outdoors. So sat there watching the boats go by.

Service was horrible and our food was not the best. I expected much more when it came to seafood. Everything tasted like lemon. Pasta had lemon, steam pot had lemon, lobster had lemon and no where in the menu does it specify any lemon in any of our food I may return but not for food more for the environment

Visited for a team outing after work. The location was great, right on the water! We were seated quickly, had a party of 10. Weather was great and the boats were out!. Good chill vibe during the day. I heard it gets really busy on the weekends especially at night.
