Anyone who has loved Ford's before will enjoy this one too! We had a sensational lobster roll, a perfectly prepared salmon BLT and super-crispy squid pieces - but we could have ordered a lot more given the wonderful selection. Then next time…

We popped in and ate at the bar. The bartender was taking care of the entire room but we never had to wait for anything, he was in constant, efficient motion and was friendly in the process. The lobster roll was delicious with a perfectly toasted bun.

As always, the food was delicious. If you're looking for lobster, look no further. Hot or cold lobster rolls. The incomparable lobster bombe was a full half pound of lobster. When our server thought it looked like there wasn't enough bisque on top, she returned with more. My favorite lobster risotto was perfect.

Very nice place. Alittle pricey for certain things. But overall the food was great. Dark blue interior made us feel like we were in a romantic setting. Parking is either out front of the property or in the back. There's a nice pier and boat yard to walk around and catch a breeze.

The lobster risotto was outstanding. It certainly rated 5 stars. Rack of Lamb was also rated as 5 stars, One soap, New England clam chowder was returned, the clams in it were too tough to chew. The other two entrees were rated at 4 stars. The black cherry mojito was a must. Wines were at expected value. We had no deserts. The waitress was not attentive enough and had to be called over twice. The atmosphere is not up to the menu prices.

Amazing service and food!!! We’re so glad that Fords' trademark dishes like the hot lobster Roll and bisque bomb are still available. Their lobster portions are generous and not just claw meat. Kelly was spectacular!!! Thank you for a remarkable experience.

Ford’s never disappoints. Had their Lobster bomb and it was delicious as always. Was in for lunch and usually would go to the other but the bar area was good and bartender was friendly. Will be returning.

Service was slow, forgot drinks multiple times, took silverware away and then brought meals, then left, so our food sat while we waited to flag the waitress back to get silverware. The Calamari dish should be called Breaded Hot Cherry Pepper Poppers with Calamari Essence—where was the Calamari? Lastly, I feel horrible for the poor lobster who died not just once when entering the heat but again as he was then thoroughly overcooked to the point of rubber. Ugh! Portions were lacking. Flavor was lacking. Salmon tacos got a 10/10. Service—I'm sorry, but, not good. Over priced for the food, service, ambiance etc. This was sadly a flop.
