This was my second time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is always A1 but this time they decorated for Christmas and it was so nice. I will say this is a very lively loud restaurant so if you’re looking for something quiet, this might not be the place for you. The service is always great & the food and drinks are also very delicious.

I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.
