We have eaten here before. Food is subpar and pricey. Cash only. Noisy with poor architecture with concrete walls.Regarding the market, we just bought a 30lb bag of "local" oysters 2 dys ago. The majority of these oysters I shucked had no oyster liquor and were withered and gray. I have been eating oysters for 20 years and I am appalled that someone let these be sold. I am going to also call the manager to discuss, but someone is either not checking for fresh seafood or they just don't care if you get sick.Why isn't Google posting my legit review?

Ambiance is awesome! Glass windows outlooking the bay every where. Clam chowder was good, but I was SO bummed about my lobster roll!! Agter begging my group to come here, everyone was upset that it was CASH only, which nobody had. And @ a place that serves all this amazing fresh seafood where even at the market they had these huge lobster tails for sale, I was so excited to try their lobster roll. It comes out and it's basically crab salad :/ I honestly didn't even taste any lobster in it, too the point where I asked the waitress if I got the right thing. Never have had a lobster roll like that before... Colorado has better lobster rolls (new England style with actual chunks and butter) not drenched in mayo and imitation crab vibes. Was really bummed I didn't get something else. I voiced this to the cashier and waitress when they both asked "how was everything" and they just shrugged their shoulders. Not sure what I expected them to do... but why even ask if you don't receive the bad feedback as well?? It's not easy to say you weren't happy with a meal especially in front of the rest of your party and they did nothing to make it right. Left spending $20 on some crab salad with a view

Don't even come in. I got lost between the entrance to a warehouse and a dock, it doesn't have a hierarchical entrance, which deserves a good restaurant. In addition to the fact that they did not accept cards and everything was cash, the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. It looked like a workers' diner instead of a restaurant. I don't doubt that their food is excellent but they need to improve their image.

Excellent fresh seafood served by very kind attentive staff. Every table is a great water view. The Jambalaya was some of the best I’ve ever had.

Prepared seafood is not fresh, fish zapped in the microwave, very old crab cakes, served burnt, made with claw meat and brown weird seafood stuffing yuck! left them on the plate. No one asked if we enjoyed our meal. Cashier talked on the phone and never acknowledged me paying. Acoustics terrible, bring your earplugs or plan to yell across the table. NEVER AGAIN! Should have walked out when food was served. it was that bad, folks.

They have several options for seafood lovers. Four of us dined in And had combination dinners that included muscles, snow crab, lobster, corn on the cob and more!Kid-friendliness: I know it was very appropriate for teenagers and they have driven themselves and had 5 star treatment as well.

The food and service was great! Unfortunately, it was so noisy in the restaurant that we could hardly hear each other talk. The restaurant has a hard ceiling and the noise just reverberates. Some acoustic panels would good a long way toward reducing the noise level and making it a more pleasant experience.
