The service was very good and the inside, atmosphere was really nice. the food was average. If you are going to charge $27.99 for a seafood entree, you can't serve it with pre - breaded frozen shrimp and clams. I'll try something different next time.

Love this local eatery! Been going here for over 30 years. Love the chicken wings (best in town) and the crabs and oysters are fabulous. Tonight our server was Anthony, and he was attentive, kind and a lot of fun! Our table of 8 was large but grateful to have a server who committed himself to us having a great meal. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Really enjoyed the vibe of the place. Kind of made me feel I was in a small town on the coast. Our waitress Killian was incredibly friendly and attentive. Wings were delicious, crab was cooked correctly. Only bummer was the shrimp was overcooked and I wasn’t a fan of the flavor of the spice they used for their ‘hot and spicy’ shrimp. Pleasant experience overall.
