I gotta tell you, I can't vouch for their cocktails or beer selection yet, but I got some pics of the swanky marble and stainless steel taps and the booze assortment. I did try their clam chowder, and let me tell you, I went back for seconds a week later! It's gotta be the best chowder on the South Shore, no doubt! It's got more flavor and body than the usual Plymouth-area waterfront spots. And those fish tacos are seriously yummy. I scarfed mine down so fast, I forgot to snap a pic! The staff is super cool and passionate about what they do. The place itself has a chill vibe with smooth jazz, veined marble, corrugated metal, distressed wood, and cozy leather. It's a bummer I won't have a regular excuse to go back to this part of Duxbury now that winter sports clinics are winding down!

Very good food, emphasis on oysters and raw bar items, but plenty of choices to satisfy all tastes. Nicely appointed interior with booths and a long bar. Outdoor patio dining in warm weather. Very good service. Reasonable prices. Free parking.

This has been a staple for goodfood over the years Tonite I got the the mayonnaise sandwich also know as the lobster roll. Very disappointing Will def give another chance

The food is good. The clam chowder and brussel sptouts were delicious. The Buffalo cauliflower is a bit spicy for me. My friend tried the lobster roll and said it was great.The chowder was plenty for lunch. We ended up tasting the brussel sprouts and cauliflower, but taking most of it home as we were stuffed.We would have loved to sit outside, but there were 6 of us. The tables outside can only sit 4 with the umbrellas in the middle of each table.

I just had the worst swordfish of my life here. It was basically inedible. I went here 6 months ago and the place was awesome. It was absolutely disgusting today.. itwas a horrible cut of fatty fish and it was overcooked. Never mind that the tables are basically on top of each other. I can’t believe the chef served this fish it was Horrible!!!

Sat in a cute outdoor eating area. Service was fantastic. Food was good but the menu is limited, prices fairly high. I had the fish taco appetizer. It was tasty but nothing to write home about. The oyster poorboy looked really good and came with a full plate of fried and coleslaw.

Stopped in to grab some lunch apres a round of golf. Good call. Great quaint seafaring atmosphere. Restaurant is on the smaller side with inside and outside dining, weather permitting. We chose to sit outside. Comfortable seating. The waitstaff was awesome. Our waitress, Julie was excellent. Attentive, friendly, courteous and professional. Food was also excellent, well prepared and delicious. We order the chicken Caesar salad, tuna poke and the oysters po’boy. To my surprise, it was the best oysters po’boy I had this side of New Orleans. The oysters were fresh, plump, lightly battered, cooked to perfection and overflowing in a toasted roll. Fresh Cole slaw and crispy French fries. Highly recommend. We will definitely return to try the other items on the menu. For me, definitely getting the oysters po’boy again soon.

We shared a corner booth that was very comfortable. The waitress was really great. She was able to bring drinks and food that exactly fulfilled our special desires, that were perfectly mixed or brewed drinks and also dishes with our specific diet needs. And, the food was fabulous!
