Great fresh NewEngland seafood with a gourmet flare. Well stocked bar with great beer ,wine and cocktail options. Plenty of large Flat screens for sports.

If you like oysters, either on the half shell or prepared, this is your place! The oyster selection is impressive. They are super fresh. And they are almost always 2 bucks each. But that is not to say that the other offerings are wanting. The clam chowder is marvelous, and the RI style calamari is tender and nice. From the look of their open kitchen, the lobster appears to be a specialty. But I have not yet partaken to comment. The restaurant has an industrial look, which I like and don't. But who cares. It's the food that counts. I do recommend this restaurant.

The yelp reviews tell the truth. Over priced mediocre food. Pitiful portion of clam chowder for $16 a bowl. I’d just avoid this place and try your luck somewhere else. The google reviews (maybe AI) definitely tricked me on this one.

Absolutely delightful food backed up by excellent service. Special mention should go to the steamed mussel appetizer with garlic herb butter — it was so good that when we got the clam bake (also excellent) we ignored the butter sauce that came with the lobster and just dipped the meat in the leftover mussel butter. Shoutout our server as well, Junior A., for his attentive service!

Atmosphere was amazing truffle fries and appetizers were great! But it loses a few points for the main course paid close to 75 for a baked lobster that was so tough it was not edible and steak tips that took 15 minutes to chew one bite. Also waitress was very hard to find when needed for anything. But the wait time was low and inside was very clean. Also a %18 gratuity is automatically added to EVERY check no matter the party size or service received.

The lobster was the star of the show 100000/10!
This is my favorite restaurant in Boston. We had the calamari, crab cakes, and shrimp scampi and everything was superb

What a disappointment! The service was horrible, the food was mediocre at best and overpriced, and I was shocked to see that a 20% gratuity was automatically added to my bill. I guess that's why the service was so terrible - the servers were guaranteed a tip. Once the food was served, our server never returned to the table. I had to hunt him down to get the check. The comics were particularly weak but that is to be expected in this type of venue. I would never go back.
