I usually really like the food here, but this time it was not great. Would still probably come back to give them another chance because it’s been great multiple times before, but this time I was not pleased.
The calamari fried parts had largely fallen off, and the butter chili marinade made the fried parts super soggy; they were literally sitting in a soggy puddle. The lobster Mac and cheese wasn’t very cheesy either. The brownie tasted weirdly plasticky as well. Hopefully next time they’ll live back up to my memories.

Service was bad tonight. The waitress doesn’t check on us and the way she talked to us wasn’t sound right. Tonight somehow the food took a little longer then usual. When I ordered extra sauce on my lobster it came out less than it supposed to be. The food taste different from before it doesn’t tasted as good as before. I like the food and the service before especially from the old waiter who worked there forever. He’s super nice

Exquisite buttery Haddock, crunchy fries, and delicious shrimp cocktail. The atmosphere is lively without being loud. Spacious indoor dinning even with 6-ft rule and plenty of parking. Service was a bit slow even if the water was very nice and friendly.

Today was our first time here and sadly it will our last time ever. We ordered two lobster rolls ($38 each) which you would hope is the freshest and one of the best lobster rolls you eat.
It was definitely not fresh, filled with old lettuce and a bun that must have been days old. Extremely disappointed. We spent $130 for two people and will not be returning.

Ordered fried calamari, came in mostly french fries. This is the worst calamari I have ever had, 24 dollars wasted. The entrees are fine. Had tuna, and it came out good.

Cool vibe but only average service. While we were seated quickly, it took a long time for our server to even take our drink order. With that delay we put in our food orders (including crab cakes and clam chowder as starters) and subsequently received those before even getting our waters.
That said, the food was good and I would eat there again. I’m sure a Saturday night of a holiday weekend was a service delay factor but all in all it was a great family friendly dinner.

Amazing lobster, truffle fries, salad, drinks! Fun atmosphere and quite busy but the restaurant is large and we felt safe eating here during this stage of the pandemic.
