I had the best lobster roll there last night! It was a large portion and the brioche bun was amazing! I went with the Caesar salad for my side. Also delicious! The espresso martini was one the best ones I’ve had. I had fun at the bar talking with the regulars.

Experience was pleasant. Restaurant is facing the beach and lots of natural light throughout. I had the fried oysters and fried shrimp that were were perfectly prepared. Not a fan of the fries but that’s personal preference.

This was our first time visiting. The service and location were good. But maybe it’s the dish that I ordered, but my meal was subpar. I was expecting more flavor. My son don’t like his meal either. Not sure if we’ll be going back here.

Loved the food, the lobster rolls (both hot and cold were delicious), and the service was awesome. Highly recommend. We also had the stuffed clams which were different, but in a good way, and the homemade clam chowder had a flavor that begged for more.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Staff was pleasant the minute we hit the door through our visit. The clam chowder and the lobster bisque had such depth of taste and goodness. Huge chunks of lobster in the bisque!! The steak and cheese lobster roll and Chicken Milanese are perfection. Must stop and the view is gorgeous of Long Island sound.

I had the grilled shrimp tacos…which were delicious! I also had the clam chowder..after adding a bit of salt to the taste, this was probably the best thing I had…hands down. My friends weren’t impressed with the calamari (no seasoning) or the stuffed sole. But the honey old bay wings were a hit! Great service though 🙂

We absolutely love this place. The shrimp casserole is our go-to favorite, and the lobster rolls are absolutely worth the price. They also had exceptional seasonal cocktails during the holidays, which was a great touch.

Our only disappointing experience has been on Tuesday nights at the bar. I think the bartender’s name is Brenna or something with a B. On one occasion, we were asked to leave around 8:15 pm while friends were still sitting in the bar area, which left us confused and frustrated. Because of that experience, we usually avoid Tuesdays now and stick to Fridays or Saturdays instead.

The staff on weekend nights are consistently warm, welcoming, and accommodating, and they don’t seem to mind keeping the bar open a bit later. Those nights are always a great experience and remind us why this is one of our favorite spots.

Staff was both professional friendly. Also, the chowder was REALLY good. I love the whole belly fried clams. Probably the I’ve ever had in over 45 growing up on the shoreline in CT!! I’d strongly recommend these guys!!

Great local neighborhood establishment. We sat out on the covered deck/patio.
Service was very good always checking on us. Could use a little bit more sit movement out there but we left stuffed and happy .thanks for a great dinner .

Sadly can’t put this above 2 stars since the owner/manager focused on drinking at the bar instead of helping her staff drowning from all the customers (the food was really good too…). The manager came up to me several times with my bill ready to be paid and didn’t do a thing. She did open another bottle of wine for herself however…

Good food, oceans views, outdoor dining. This spot could easily serve more customers and bring in more revenue with some more help. Best of luck to them.
