Secret hideaway on the Cove in Niantic Bay . Open table on the deck overlooking the inlet or under an enclosure on the deck with bar service. Order at the kitchen window get a number and wait for a fantastic fresh claim strip dinner or scallops. The menu has something for everyone. Fantastic atmosphere
Great service. ❤️

WOW we were amazed by how good the seafood was here! Really cool atmosphere along the water and it was so easy to order. There was a short wait time to pick up our food and the broiled scallops were perfection.

Great location, nice staff, good service, but the “whole belly” clams were chopped. Fries were good & fresh, but from frozen.

Atmosphere is great. Seating by the water is very nice. It was very clean.

But the food was not good. We ordered the steamers dinner and they were very undercooked. The clams were very sandy (like lots of black sand) and runny. They were like room temp. Some had broken shells and for the price we paid for them, it was really really disappointing.

The corn on the cob and potatoes are just plain, boiled potatoes and corn. $3 for an ear of corn and $3 for three small red potatoes. They give you melted butter on the side.

The clams chowder was just ok, honestly, it tasted just like canned chowder.

The Cole slaw was probably the star of the dish. It was very good. But really the only saving grace.

I never tried the whole belly clams before. I found them to be dried out,very small, and chewy. I didn't realize how bad they were until I tried them again at Flanders fish market. They were everything I had imagined.

This place has the best seafood in the area. The best lobster roll for sure. It's so big and filled with lobster. Excellent. I recommend the Fisherman's Platter if you want to give all the seafood a try.

It’s a take out to a sitting area with a bar - draft beers wine. The deck seating may fit 20 people. Tent seating and then some tables below. Great views of harbor bridges and river. Closes at 8 so be careful about bathrooms. They lock them. Seafood is very good from fried to grilled to baked. Price is reasonable. It is loud with young kids running around so just be aware. The food line moves quickly. Send someone to grab a table while you wait in line. They can also get drinks while they wait at the table. Pay at bar.
