I very rarely will post a negative review but last night I ordered the sole Milanese and it was literally terrible. It was caked with breading and mushy. I could barely taste the fish in it which was so paper thin, the breading over powered it. The staff was excellent, however. Promptly seated and the bartender was friendly and accommodating. They were closing up for the night, otherwise I would have sent it back. We thought it odd that they were done for the night at 8 pm on a Friday. Just really disappointed because I had hyped this place up to my boyfriend.
It was great except for the couple in the big booth and the man was screaming he doesnt “have time” which in this day and age could mean anything might happen next. Disturbing to say the least

A bit of a hidden gem. The food is excellent. The staff is very nice and professional greatly enjoyed our meal and our takeout a few days later.
Be sure to try the seafood combo!

I've been hearing great things, so I figure I try it out. And I was not disappointed. I was a seafood sous chef for 10 years and I was impressed. It's a talent to get calamari cooked like that. Definitely good chefs in back. Whole bellies were spot on too.

Unless the 5 star reviews are shills, something was in the cool-aid. It's an average, good seafood restaurant with what my wife and I found as a few oddities. We had a bowl of NE clam chowder each, she had whole belly clams w/ff's. I had a lobster roll w/onion rings, she had seltzer w/cranberry juice and I had a coors light. $92, the oddity is for all we knew the seltzer could have been 50 bucks. There was not only no itemized list, there was NO listing of any specific food we had, only a total price! No mention AT ALL of the order! Nothing, my wife is 69 and I'm 72, neither of us have ever seen this before. Lastly, regardless of the price, the portions, (especially the clams) portions were weak. The onion rings were Mcdonald's style as were the ff's. While not bad, it was absolutely nothing that could possibly put it above average.

My husband and I found this restaurant by the great reviews while driving through the area while on vacation. We were here for lunch on a Tuesday and sat on their nice covered patio. The hostess greeted us with a smile and quickly took us to a table. Hannah, our waitress, was friendly and answered all of our questions. We split the three blackened swordfish tacos with Old Bay french fries. We each ordered Rhode Island Clam chowder. The swordfish was perfectly blackened, the cilantro slaw added so much flavor and the sauce added just the right amount of heat. The chowder was very tasty. Excellent meal all around! Highly recommend!
