Ordered the fish and chips . It was quite the disappointment . Four very small pieces of fish with more breading then fish . Small amount of
Mediocre fries . Really I expected so much more from a a seafood place. I could have gone to restaurant who didn’t specialize in seafood and got better fish and chips . The oyster shot was good though.

Wonderful service - servers we attentive and funny. Food was good but not great. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I didn’t like it it’s just a way to go before it’s 5 stars.
The clam chowder was perfectly thick but lacked flavor (and clams). The seafood salad had very little “crab” and a couple tiny shrimp. The rest of the salad was fresh greens and veggies.
One last thing, the low ceiling keeps the fryer oil smell in tact all over the restaurant.

I had a late lunch here today and ended up being quite disappointed. Starting off with the crab cakes; they were the absolute smallest crab cakes I have ever seen. They were roughly the diameter of a silver dollar.
They contained nothing resembling lump crab meat. They had a considerable amount of breading mixed in with the crab. They tasted good, but far from anything I would tell a friend to go try.
Then came the nigiri sushi. Reminiscent of the sushi one might get at an all you can eat sushi place. Lots of rice, and a sliver of fish.
The hamachi was quite fishy tasting. The scallops were sliced paper thin and had no taste. Quality scallops have a definite sweetness that these lacked. All of the sushi was slightly warm because the rice had not cooled down enough. Extremely disappointed. But, the service was excellent.
I never short change a server because of the quality of the food. Im sure she doesn't like having to serve overpriced mediocre food.
I give the food 2 stars.

Ate here with the Veterans group I'm in. When you have 40 or more customers, provide more than one server. Food was cold by the time I got it. Order wasn't right. No drink refills. I had previously given this restaurant a good review but this was terrible service.

Shrimp and fish were very good. The onlybthing I'd change is go back to the mints you always had.

I got the tilapia and a raspberry Mojito. It was my first and it was delicious. Prices weren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I would absolutely come back.
