The food (and cocktails) here was delicious! They have some very unique pizzas we even ended up ordering a vodka chicken parm pizza to go!
Had Seafood mix over Angel Hair Pasta and also Buffalo Calamari. Both were very good.

Terrible service. When I called for my family that hasn’t eaten in weeks and the phone operator hung up in my face when I asked for “the fish”
My husband and I stumbled into here after not wanting to wait at another local spot. The atmosphere was inviting and pleasant with a band . What was nice is the entertainment is at a distance from the dining area. I like this so if you're there to see the band you can get up close dance and have a great time .
But if you're there with family to enjoy your dinner you can actually hear each other talk while you're eating.
The service was attentive and friendly.
To be honest I probably would have given them a 5 out of 5 but the food was lacking. We ordered calamari for an appetizer. Unfortunately it had no flavor it was heavy floured with no pepper, no salt , and unfortunately had no taste.
My husband got the New York strip steak. The piece looked good and was cooked to the degree he asked but it upon cutting, it seemed like a flank steak with excessive tendons.
For my self I ordered the clams casino pizza. I will say the crust was fantastic. Thin,crisp and delicious.
My own complaint and this is against me, is that I didn't notice when I read it that there was bacon as a topping. Unfortunately the bacon overpowered the pizza in my opinion.
I would definitely go back though and give the pizza another try ( just a different one) hands down awesome crust, can't say it enough.

Went because it was lobster night. It was two for one. I rarely get to eat lobster so I was very excited. The lobster itself was flavorless. The butter was also flavorless and the lobsters look very anemic. Did not enjoy my food at all. Clam chatter was reasonable, but nothing special. Service was pretty good and atmosphere was average. I will probably not be going back.

My family and I came here for dinner last night. The music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk and even asked the staff several times to turn it down but they really didn't. The food was mediocre, lobster was over cooked and the coleslaw had no flavor other than vinegar. The scallops and risotto were good, though. Overall, I wouldn't go back, though.

Went to dinner Saturday night with my parents who dine there often (after many years on the island...crazy it was my first time). Our waiter, Alex was SO incredibly kind and a wonderful waiter. I cannot have gluten so he were really cautious in checking to make sure everything I ordered was safe for me. A great spot, where I felt completely welcome. My one gentle comment is to ask that the music be lowered or nixed in the dining area. We found ourselves shouting a bit to hear one another. I will definitely be back...trying happy hour next! Thanks so much again for a lovely evening.

We come here often and we are overjoyed in every aspect. The hostess, Karen, is such a sweetheart. The bartender, Rob, is so attentive and generous. And on our most recent visit, our waiter, Chad, really went above and beyond and provided an excellent experience. Offered great recommendations and accommodations. They do tend to have a wait for dinner (especially on their lobster bake nights) but you can make a reservation through resy, or stop by their sister restaurant, Triton, and have a drink/appy while you wait!
