This place is great but the food was all over the place.
Lobster Bisque = creamy delicious and flavorful, best thing we had
Salads= plenty of dressing, good toppings, good greens
Coconut Shrimp= over cooked, squished, blargh, sweet dipping sauce had some heat
Nutty Irishman alcohol drink= hot and delicious
Coke= flat
Lobster rolls= bland but lobstery
Onion rings and fries= unseasoned, undercooked but I guess you have to like malt vinegar to eat them
It's a great bar on the water with decent food.

Food was incredibly bland. There was no seasoning on anything.

Hit this place for lunch on a midweek April afternoon and found it almost empty. The waitstaff was fine, and the fish and chips were delicious and hot. (The local haddock is always tasty) My friend said her tuna melt was good but not great. Nice water view.
They were very busy when we arrived so it took some time to get a table and our food. Worth the wait though. My friend has the fish and chips. I had the fried clams. Both were amazing. Views were serene.

Incredibly gorgeous view, very friendly staff, owner is the lobsterman who brings catch directly to the restaurant. Absolute best lobster roll ever. Reasonably priced (Lobster Roll $35). Great onion rings too. Parking is a bit of a chore but worth it. My #1 lobster roll establishment anywhere! Located in quaint village of Marblehead.
The bartender and view from the bar were incredible. Dan has a great personality. Opens at 11:30am and by 12:15 it was packed tough parking but worth the minor inconvenience.

Very popular restaurant, we arrived just at the time! There was a long waiting line when we left. The fried oysters were very nice, they were soft and fresh. I like the steamer as well! Really nice view, you can see the waves coming upwards to the window height!

Great location, tasty food and friendly staff. Excellent value for money and walking distance to wonderful around the historic houses and pretty streets and independent shops. Parking may be harder weekends but easy on a Monday afternoon on our way to Boston Airport 30 mins away.
Group in there 30’s from Texas. Atmosphere and service were phenomenal! Better than we get back home many times. Fish and chips: fish was good, but fries tasted like 2 hours old McDonalds fries with zero salt. Steak and salmon had no flavor at all, but the scallops and mash potatoes were great! Chowder and Bisque were fantastic. Not terrible, but wouldn’t return based on our experience of the food for the price.

The view and the service is very good! The food is absolutely disgusting. It’s really a crying shame. It used to be such a fabulous restaurant. The Seafood chowder had used to have chunks of seafood now it taste like something out of a bag with a couple of clams swimming in it. The owners should be arrested for serving such crap
Really Good crab cake. My husband was unimpressed but kid was happy with her meal.
