I ordered the fish and chips, fish was tasteless and the fries came burnt and cold. Very disappointed in the food.

These folks have authentic New England style seafood, always fresh and tasty. Our only quibble is that the side dishes are teeny tiny. They are served in little cups that seem more like condiment cups.My husband really enjoyed the fried clams, one of his favorites.

Best seafood in Lake County. The fried or broiled shrimp are always fantastic and the lump crab cakes are amazing.

This is our favorite restaurant in Mt Dora. We eat there every time we are there. It is our favorite seafood restaurant anyplace.

We have gone to this restaurant several times. We enjoy the fried haddock and any side of your choosing. We have not had a bad meal here. If you live in the area and haven't tried eating here you owe it to yourself to try this restaurant out.

Casual, good service, great sweet potato fries. Onion hush puppies were very nice. Fried haddock fair. Fake scallops.......horrible. Possibly punched out of skate. Dense, rubbery and all the same size. The texture ,color and taste was a give away. Considering that seafood allergies are very specific, I do not think this is a good practice.

We are from the Jersey Shore so we know a thing or two about seafood. My wife LOVES whole belly clams and wasn't feeling good so since its only z mile away wanted to try it. Pleasant young lady took the order right away with onions rings ( xtra) and a bowl of clam chowder. Was ready in ten minutes. She was again pleasant and knew it was me. I had warned her if good you would see me again. She assured me the owner was from Maryland. When got it home was incredibly disappointed . The clams literally had tiny bellies which made for a hard fried. The Onion Rings were thin almost shoestring. The side of cheese grits wasn't bad in about a 2 oz cup. The chowder was very thick but wasn't seasoned enough and more of a cup size than a bowl size. It was one VERY EXPENSIVE takeout everything was $33. Don't mind paying but would like to get my moneys worth. If not for the pleasant young lady would be one star. Will not be back!

Maryland Friends! Best Maryland Crab cakes in Central FL! They used to have a kick which was a lil too much, now perfect. Yummy broiled & fried fish fry and haddock too. Lately the hush puppies, & potato’s are on point.

Oh, this is so good... wifey's dish is perfectly broiled and she is gonna eat the whole thing (not normal). My clam strips are not the frozen ones you see so often, but rather freshly made. And - the hush puppies have to be the best we've ever had. Please support this locally-owned restaurant!

Had halibut, onion rings, red potatoes and baked beans. Food was hot and nice portion. Baked beans were what tasted like strait out of the can...plain boiled

Restaurants ambiance and service ok just the food fried fish is terrible is not worth the price paying for.. never coming back again. I prefer to buy frozen fish in publix and cook at home.
