Great atmosphere and food. Shrimp scampi was delicious. A bit noisy but it's a bar atmosphere.

I first found this place 15 years ago. There's nothing that is an absolutely fabulous on this menu. It always comes out hot hot hot should be served and their clam chowder and lobster bisque are to die for. This place is always busy may have to wait for the wait will be worth it service is always been good for me even as busy as they are if you have a good New England clam chowder this is your spot

Stopped in for dinner with a friend. The menu looked appetizing on the website. When we arrived, there were only 3 other tables dining. The dining experience was not very pleasant. It took an extremely long time to receive both one appetizer (crab cakes - which was tasty) and two entrees. The wait was so long and bad we came close to asking for our bill for the appetizer and two ice teas. When the food finally arrived, it was hot. The grilled octopus was over cooked and not prepared as stated on the menu. My friends Bronzino was good, But It was a hassle eating it with bones in every bite. On a Positive note, The waitress was attentive and friendly and did realize our frustration and apologetic. Management did make up for it by giving us a free desert and a modest discount on the bill. Prior to getting our food, We noticed the lunch/dinner specials throughout the week. We were anticipating coming back the following day for the Steak Special but after what occurred, I’m not willing to take a chance.

Saw on their website that they had Happy Hour specials 3-6 pm, but it was also a Tuesday and they had $2 tacos (chicken, steak and fried fish) and $5 margaritas all day. We walked over from our hotel (Royal Beach Palace) and got lucky finding an empty table (actually a working glider table) outside. Sammie was our server and she was terrific! Tacos are kinda small. We were really hungry and ended up with 5 tacos a piece. 10 tacos and 4 margaritas later we had a $40 bill, which thrilled us! TIP...tacos came with meat, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and avocado. I heard another table asking about a salsa that could also be requested for the tacos. Also, you can get the margaritas in a short glass and skip the traditional cumbersome plastic margarita cup.

So much fun and excellent food, service and entertainment! Went there for dinner and they had a musician and a singer on that night. There was a small dance floor which we all ended up dancing with other people dining in there. Food was delish as well their drinks. The lobster special was very tasty and seems very popular there. If you are in the area, a** this restaurant to your bucket list!

We were disappointed in the menu selections to begin with. The shrimp cocktail was served with WARM shrimp and was gross. We all ordered ribeyes and they were all seared as black as charcoal and when ordered medium allcame as well done. Would never eat here again.
