    Great little restaurant! Food was absolutely delicious ! We stated with the Clams Casino, which were very savory. I would have loved a few more! Lobster grilled cheese perfectly prepared. Mostly lobster with a mild cheese that didn’t overtake the lobster. Teriyaki Tuna was fantastic! Cooked as ordered and melt in your mouth. Restaurant staff was pleasant and efficient. Ambience was intimate and not too noisy for a small restaurant. Nicely decorated. Thank you for a great meal on Mothers Day.🦋

    This place is the best and the new location is beautiful. If you like lobster, you have to check this place out. The bisque bomb was the best version of lobster that I ever had in my life. Very creative and magnificently prepared. if you like lobster this version Will never let you eat any other version again.  That dish is a 10. The lobster grilled cheese was insane also .

    Shrimp cocktail - shrimp was tough, rubbery. We asked for ranch dressing instead of the blue cheese for the wedge salad. They still put the blue cheese on it. We asked for the lamb chops to be cooked medium, came back rare and still bloody. The clam chowder was watery and had no flavor, very bland. And the filet was dry...not really good. It was our first time there .. And our last.

    The restaurant side was closed because the server didn’t show up to work, so we had to eat in the bar, which was a separate entrance. The bartender was very accommodating and provided great service, but the atmosphere wasn’t great until the loud drunk woman at the bar left!

    Every item and drink we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the salmon, scallops, fig & arugula flat bread. Cozy charming feel inside and off the beaten path. Excellent service, too. We took out of town guests here on a foggy rainy night and they loved it. We'll be back!
