I was very disappointed tonight in the food quality. I ordered the Fisherman's Shrimp & Fish Platter $24 which is usually very moist, tender flaky fish and seasoned very well. Tonight was like eating dried out chicken, very dry and rubbery and tough with no seasoning, I couldnt even get the vinegar to add flavor or salt. I let my Wife try it thinking it was me, nope it was the fish she said it was old fish reheated. I paid my bill and asked the waitress if they changed...

You must try the lobster roll. It is to die for. I fell in love the 1st time I tried it. I went back every week for a month to get one. It does cost more than most of the other menu options but it is totally worth it.

Im visiting from South Carolina and the next time I'm back in town I'll be stopping by for another meal. There were three of us, the cheeseburger and coleslaw was perfect. The blackened fish tacos were a hit and plenty, the half fish and chips were equally delicious. Definitely worth a visit ☺️
