I went here with a group of nine friends, and we all had such a great experience! The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and the staff did a fantastic job handling a big group like ours. Everyone ordered something different, which gave us the chance to sample a wide range of dishes — and honestly, everything we tried was delicious.
The highlight for me was definitely the clam chowder and lobster roll. The clam chowder smelled amazing the moment it arrived — rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It had that perfect balance of smooth texture with chunks of tender clams that made it really satisfying. The lobster roll was equally impressive — buttery, fresh, and full of sweet lobster meat. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.
I also tried the Midnight Margarita, and it was fantastic — refreshing with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. It paired perfectly with the seafood dishes. One of my friends ordered a whole lobster, and he absolutely loved it. The lobster was cooked perfectly and came out tender and juicy.
Overall, we all left happy and full. The portions were generous, the presentation was clean, and the flavors were spot on. Whether you’re going with a group of friends or on a date night, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back!

First-time here and loved it. Wife got a steamed lobster and a shrimp platter. She loved it. My 10oz sirloin was cooked perfectly medium. Juicy and the sauce delicious. It came with a side of broccoli mash potatoes which I had to keep my wife from eating all of them

Service was great! Very nice and on top of everything!
The lobster bisque was disappointing if you like lobster chunks in your bisque- this is only a cream based version and not very hot –
The raw bar was excellent!

This place is phenomenal. This had to have been one of the best tasting meals I’ve had in a long time and on this roadtrip. Anna our server was simply amazing in every aspect of service. This is just a sample of what was on our table.

Such delicious food!! Stopped here on our drive to Mystic and so glad we did. The server informed us that they recently changed lobster and now it is sweeter – I’m so glad they did because the lobster meat was juicy and delicious! Highly recommend the Captains Roll which has fresh crab meat and lobster meat. We also split the seafood sampler which lets you enjoy multiple types of seafood at once. I wish the portion size was a tiny bit bigger but overall it was great and I’d order again!

Finally ended up at a place I can order fried clams from. Luckily, we got here early, because apparently you really should have reservations because they get busy and fill up quickly.
So, they ended up having some room at the bar for us to sit down and eat. Mikki was behind the bar and she was just awesome. She was friendly and attentive, and at the same time, a busy & a very hard worker. She is impressive…
Once we were seated, we were quickly served some tasty bread. Our meals were pretty good, although I order fried clams and wished they were a little crispier, but I never complain & send food back. I don’t think it’s a good idea and don’t trust it, so I tend to go with the flow. The coleslaw was very good.
I had a couple of beers and they were both ice-cold.
Besides the restaurant, there’s a market on the other side, where you can purchase fresh seafood items to take home, or wherever…

I dined here for the first time on June 10, 2023. I ordered lobster Mac and cheese and Nick’s calamari. I found the lobster to be rather dry and over cooked. Nonetheless, I returned here on July 5, 2023 and sat at the bar.(photo attached) I ordered a shrimp basket with a side salad. The waitress offered me bread, which I accepted. The shrimp was out of this world- juicy, lightly battered with a succulent flavor. I forget the name of the drink but it was on the bitter side. It is not something that I would order again, but I gave a shot. The waitress told me that is was pretty popular.
I usually go somewhere else on Fridays with my mom. However, I told her that she had to drive up to me and try this place. She was happy she did! We both ordered the jumbo shrimp with a side salad.
The service was decent, however both my mom and I had to request a refill. An attentive server should not allow a glass to reach empty.
The reason I did not provide five stars is because the hostess told me that she could seat us if we wouldn’t stay past 6:30 p.m., otherwise she would have to see us outside. Although, we had no intentions on staying until 6:30 p.m. given it was only 5:07 p.m., I was taken back, as I was unaware that you needed a reservation or there was a time limit to the seating. Nonetheless, we were out in under 45 minutes.
Just loss my appetite. Updated 10-5-24 Snobby server gave me a dinner menu. I placed my starter order of soup and requested bread. I was told there is a charge for bread during lunch. should I leave and come back after 3:00 p.m.? I left, to never return!
While I’ve eaten here a few times in the past month, after work, the vibe is not the most welcoming. After today, I will not patronize this establishment ever again and most certainly will not recommend it!

One of the better seafood restaurants in the area. This review is for the restaurant only.
Was looking for a seafood restaurant to go for lunch. After Reading other reviews decided to try this establishment. It was a fairly warm day but we chose to sit outside and it was nice and pleasant.
ordered the baked cod with vegetables and fingerlings. It was very well prepared in a traditional New England style.
We also had a lobster roll. It was prepared to perfection, super buttery, The roll was toasted properly. Overall it was very nice.
Our waiter Kyle was very good & knowledgeable. Towards the end of our stay we were a bit pressed for time and he assisted us quickly.
It was a nice pleasant lunch and we will definitely be back.

Food was great, I ordered the combo fried fish plate. Had the fish, shrimp and clamps strips. Food was great, but for $35 there could have been more than 1 small fish stick about 4 inches x 2 inches, maybe 1 cup of clam strips, but the 4 fried shrimp were a good size, and the French fries are the cheapest part of the platter, and there could have been more to make it look like I got alot of food. All came in a small plastic basket. The food was real good, but the quantity could be better for the price, is what im saying.

Food was amazing and my server Chelsea was amazing. Chelsea was very attentive and on top of everything. She was right with the recommendations that she gave us of what to have. She went above and beyond. We need more customer service people like her. Best service ever and best calamari ever. Will definitely be coming back.
