The building is clean and has a pretty, modern interior. Customer service was fine nothing particularly warm, but not rude either, just neutral.
We came on a Friday around 5 p.m., and the restaurant was surprisingly empty with only two other tables occupied. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated quickly. However, booths are only available if you have a prior reservation.
I ordered the lobster stew ($23), which was very small about 8 ounces. Flavor-wise, it was good: lots of mushrooms, a few large chunks of lobster, and a taste closer to coconut curry rather than tomato. It’s not creamy, which I didn’t mind, but the portion felt extremely small for the price. I’d estimate there was about one ounce (or less) of lobster.
We also tried the clam chowder ($17 for 8 ounces). This was very liquid and not creamy at all, tasting mostly like potatoes which there were plenty of. We found only one whole clam; I expected diced clams, so that was disappointing.
One thing that really stood out was the automatic 5% charge added to the bill, regardless of group size or order amount. The receipt states this goes toward adjusting kitchen staff wages. On top of that, you’re still expected to tip your server, which is fine but combined with the extra charge, it didn’t feel justified given the portion sizes and overall experience. Paying $23 for essentially lobster broth doesn’t make the added fee feel reasonable.
Lastly, parking is not easy to find near this location.
Now, the service… one server gave us an extra table to hold the oyster plate and another one came to take the table back, quite aggressively too. Not to mention, that same server also acted so condescending to me, mansplaining to me what a dozen is as if I don’t already know. Such a whatever experience I would say to avoid at all cost.
Update: after 1h30 rest and a drink, I’m still thirsty from all the salt they crammed into their food, beginning to suspect they have a salt sponsor.
Lobster rolls are smaller than traditional size but super delicious. I prefer cold mayo ones, crispy bread roll full of lobster meat
Fried calamari was also amazing.
