I enjoyed this place. Server was lovely, views of the harbor excellent, place has an old time feel with exposed old wood beams and brick. Food was delicious...tasty oysters, rich mac n cheese, good fries. Reason for 3 stars and not 4? $54 for the smallest lobster roll I've ever had. Was it good? Yes (although they should have toasted the roll). Was it worth $54? Not a chance.

The good first, good amount of gluten free options for my daughter with celiac and the food we got was good tasting. My wife and kids loved their clam chowder as well.The bad, I really wanted baked haddock but am severely allergic to shellfish and they only have Shrimp/Romano Panko breading, I asked. How is this possible? I've never had to skip baked haddock at any other restaurant before, very upsetting.Dietary restrictions: I would skip this place all together if you're allergic...read full review

We celebrated a birthday dinner here last week. The food was excellent; Madison (our server) was professional, efficient, thorough, and friendly; the setting was charming and had a great view of the river. We shared the caprese salad which was surprisingly memorable, and we each had a basket of fish and chips. We’d definitely come back here.
