A table right on the Annisquam river is the attraction here. Great view. Good food. Beer selection could be improved.

Beautiful Spot on the ocean, great food.. Unfortunately I was there for Celebration of Life for my Mother Julia E Bashaw/Gibbs yesterday, 07/11/25. Soar with the Angels Mom, I know for a fact Jesus Christ is with you. Keep sending messages anytime you want, just like Joyce has done for years. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Personal Savior yrs ago.

This was a great spot my family (locals) took me and my wife to. Delicious seared tuna, the crab cakes were wonderful, and the lobster bisque was excellent. I'd come back here for sure!

Went out for my son's birthday. I ordered the seafood pie. It was 38.00. Looked absolutely delicious and could have been if theu didn't dump the salt shaker in it. God what's wrong here. I can add my own salt if need be. Sent it back. Very disappointed. Not ever going back. Service and atmosphere will not disappoint.

Super slow service. The lobster roll was bland & the chowder, best guess, was not made in house.

Lunch was expensive with few specials. Burger was overcooked and service was spotty. Multiple people took care of us which was ok, but I felt like we were kind of unattended at the bar. Hostess was very nice and greeting was nice
The place was not busy like it could be if the lunch menu had more appeal.
