The food was great. We ate a double patty burger with real crunchy fries. We loved it. However for the drinks are way too pricey. For one beer and 6oz mix drink was $30. That will not happen again. Our total bill was over $60. So yeah, $30 just on 2 drinks. So stop by for food and have soda or water. Many other nearby places to have drinks. Will I go back? absolutely for the food and atmosphere. On our next trip, I will add photos. Get out and enjoy.

Serious Question Here: Is a Lobster Roll supposed to be chewy? I rarely eat Lobster and I have never experienced such a tender and flavorless lobster before. Fries and roll for the lobster were amazing but the Lobster was like rubber. I hate to say this, but I’ve had better Lobster at a Red Lobster in Cincinnati…

We visited in August based on the recommendation from the black whale, the parent restaurant, due to a long wait. We were not disappointed. The small bar had delicious, limited selection, beverages and cocktails. The food was delicious, but what stood out was the service: we had a minor concern over our order and asked that it be exchanged for a different item. Well it got a lot of attention based on our feedback, in a good way. The chef came out out of concern several times and was either the manager or owner (?) came out as well and went well above and beyond any need to address our concerns. I'll say that based on the service alone will definitely return time after time! That said we enjoyed all that we ate and drank very much so! We thank you for your outstanding establishment!

I had an issue with my card being charged twice.
I brought it to their attention and the matter was resolved with payment and a gift card.
Very professional.
Food is very good too..
Stopped here for a casual, outdoor dining experience. The food was delicious. We had the clam strip roll, the clam strip basket, lobster roll, scallop basket, chicken strips, and clam cakes. Friendly and prompt service.

$30 for 6 scallops. I couldn’t even believe it I took a picture immediately ??. They were okay. Go to anywhere else that isn’t owned by the same guys that own the touristy restaurants for better prices. Service was good, atmosphere was good just not enough seats.
