The food here was good. We had the grilled shrimp and baked clams. We were literally the only people in the restaurant eating but the service was lacking . They were very nice but too busy talking to each other .

Well third visit, and I live 1000+ miles away! Worth the drive even if I am not driving through cross-country. Server Becky was exemplary and her recommend of Pete’s linguini with clams was spot-on! Recommended.

Food was delicious .
The House Salad Dressing was the best I have ever had.
Shrimp in the Po Boys were fried to perfection.
The Rasberry Sorbet was something I'm still thinking about.
Wondering if I can buy it by the quart.
If you are looking for seafood this is your place. I highly recommend.
