My husband and I are visiting from out of town and had the best experience! Emma A was lovely! She was extremely attentive, personable and her recommendations were on point. She was also great with our dog, honey, and even gave her a milk bone :) We had the crab fritters, mussels and fried clams and everything was delicious. If you’re looking for a place with good food and a beautiful view, Abel’s Lobster is the place to go!

Lobster rolls, fried clams, burgers, local...
