Ordered a kids chicken tenders meal and smelled like fish. Owner said it's cooked in the same fry oil. This is not against state regulations but it is highly recommended that they cook in separate oil fryalator. Another time they sent my wife's meal with 2 fried shrimp in a mixed of fried onion straws... She has extreme shell fish allergies. Restaurant has gone down hill. Never again. Plus it's overpriced for what you get
Food was fine… nothing to write home about.
Priced very high. Not a good value for what is being served.

Amazing Oysters but of course. Perfect service from our server. Pasta cooked perfectly. No rush in ordering. No rush in leaving. Just enjoy each moment in life. Perfect place to experience each moment.
Excellent food with fresh ingredients and absolutely wonderful service!
If you are going to make people wait in line and only be able to order drinks on one side and then food and drink on the other. Make the signs that are telling people that more visible and not hidden away where ppl stand in front to order. Very simple thing to think about when putting them up.

The most expensive place we ate at during our 5 day coastal Maine vacation, but the biggest letdown. The seafood bake was under seasoned, mojitos extremely sour, and the ribs were very overcooked. The ends of the rack could have passed for shredded jerky.

Fantastic meal and service. Abby was our server and was informative and helpful. You’ll find many of the same items on other menus but their spin made the choices unique. Oysters were perfect, Greek salad delightful. Cornbread is the best we’ve had. Moist and flavorful. Our dining room required that we walk through the kitchen which was clean and orderly. How many places can say that?
We will definitely be back!

The food at the restaurant is truly exceptional and we would like to go back when we visit the region next year. Really a gifted chef. Everything was good. However the hospitality when we were there left a lot to be desired: we arrived early, hoping to take advantage of the advertised happy hour. At the door, we were told we were too early for our reservation, as those we should leave and come back. When we reached the bar, after explaining our intentions, the bar tender said there were no seats and "all the tables are reserved and I can't have you standing around." Finally, someone figured out that we could be served a drink at our table. We were then led away from the dining room pictured here, through the kitchen, and seated in a back room at a table overlooking the parking lot. When we asked about this, our server (Abby, who was great) told us there were probably a lot of reservations. But when we left, about an hour and a half later, there was a single party in the front dining room and it certainly appeared that we could have been seated there for our entire meal. Sighing. I would have liked to like this place!
Love this place. So many delicious items on the menu. Clam chowder is top notch. I like to have a drink, a chowder then order 4 or 5 apps to split. Perfect meal.

I was rather excited for my anniversary date with my boyfriend, but I was extremely disappointed to overhear the recently graduated waitresses talking badly about me to another waitress. I heard as she said my name and spoke about rather personal and fake things. I was very upset about the inappropriate things being spoked about, as this is a public, family friendly restaurant. I hope this young girl is spoken to and realizes her mistake. I will not be coming back to this establishment after hearing how disrespectful the staff is and how immature they acted.
