Fried clams. They were over cooked and crunchy also there were very few bellies.The cole slaw was good

We had a table for 2 and had dinner and drinks. The reason for 1 star in service was this…While enjoying our second drink with a great view of the village center, we were asked if we would mind moving to the table behind ours because”Someone requested and wanted our table.” what?! We had got there early to get a nice table where we like to sit and talk and while drinking our after dinner cocktail, we were asked to move to another table. My fiancé said “No problem.” I was quite upset, could barely finish my drink and left. We don’t dine out too often so when we do we typically go all out. Left almost a 40% tip on the bill. Our waitress is typically really great! We’ve had her multiple times and was always super happy with her and her customer service but I don’t understand why she would ask us to give up our table when we were still patronizing the restaurant and trying to enjoy a nice date night. Am I off base feeling this was unacceptable?

Food was not fresh as I’ve had before. Had to ask for rollls then they were old. Server asked if she can box my food and my guest was still eating, so we felt rushed . Even the pasta I ordered seemed not as fresh. Usually everything is perfect here so I was disappointed.

Moving reviews off Yelp and this was originally published in 2016:
I've got to admit that I've eaten really well on this business trip even if it started out looking like it was going to be a culinary train wreck. A subset of the group I've been dining with all week went to Fishbones for our last dinner in town and I absolutely loved the place. It is located in the center of what I took to be their historic downtown area. It was a beautiful evening when we arrived so we decided to dine on their patio and thoroughly enjoy being outside after spending most of the work week cooped-up inside a classroom being slowly poisoned by well over 1,000 powerpoint slides.
First up was the crab cake that I ordered to pass around. Very, very little filler made for a really great version of this east coast classic. I also liked the amount of searing present as it added both a flavor and a texture I don't generally see on a crab cake but really enjoyed. The crab cake was tender and sweet on the inside but slightly crispy on outside and the combination really worked for me. There was a small salad on the side and a sauce of some sort - both were quite good but way overshadowed by the crab cake. Seriously delicious!
For an entree, I took the waitress' suggestion and ordered the Mediterranean seafood over fresh pasta. The dish included large shrimp, big chunks of lobster, scallops, house-cooked artichoke hearts, red peppers and a few olives. All of that was tossed with a butter sauce and feta before being ladled over a pile of tender linguine. It truly was perfection in a bowl!
I snagged a bite of the apple crisp - talk about fall on a spoon! Creamy, rich ice cream atop a warm concoction of apples and oats. What a great bite! Perhaps even more impressive was the berry sorbet. I don't know what they did to it to make it so creamy but I asked the waitress just to verify that it wasn't a dairy base. Nope - it's just that good as a sorbet. Wow!

The food was excellent, and their service was great. I lost my ring, and it was probably taken to the kitchen when the server cleared the table. They searched for a long time in the back and eventually found it for me. I’m very grateful to them.

My family flew in from Florida, and we were craving seafood. We chose the closest place, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Everything was wonderful!

Very frustrating restaurant experience. First of all, it is very difficult to find this location at night even with GPS. Parking is in the back and the entrance is a tiny road that is easy to miss. If you miss it like we did, you can only go far to get around and come back which took another 10 minutes to finally find the poorly lit parking lot. Once inside we were told there would be a 45 minute wait and took our number to be put on the waiting list. Fine. It was a Saturday night and they don’t take reservations. While we were waiting people started coming in saying that they had reservations and were seated ahead of us. What? No where do they say they take reservations !Frustrated I asked the front desk and was told I took us off the waiting list on my phone! OMG! We were finally seated an hour and 10 minutes later and the staff didn’t seem to care about what we went through. Our server was wonderful and efficient and friendly. The clam chowder was great, the teriyaki salmon was done perfectly, and the seafood sauté was just ok because the pasta was gummy. Sadly I cannot recommend this place unless they change their policy and their attitude.
Food is amazing, atmosphere is great. Only downside is it is very loud. They do have sound barriers on the ceiling but still loud.

This is one of our favorite spots. We usually sit at the bar but the bar was full so we opted for a table. Our dining experience was so nice thanks to Nina. She did a great job of being there when we needed anything. She was friendly and nice and timed everything perfectly. The food was excellent as usual.
Love the food here
