Our server, Lynn, was speedy, but also attentive, and took the time to listen to our requests and she refilled our water often.
Their specialties are variations on a lobster dinner with blueberry pie. They also offer land & sea courses, fried seafood, NY Strip Steak, Chicken Tarragon, clam chowder, and more.
I ordered the crab cake dinner, served with celery slaw with sides of herbed focaccia bread and broccoli. Dave ordered a char-broiled hamburger with fries, and a bowl of lobster bisque. It was really more than we could eat, but since we were flying out the next day, it was useless to ask for a doggie bag, so Dave chowed down. I had to have dessert, so for a change of pace, I ordered Italian lemon cream cake which was scrumptious.
Dave, who orders burgers regularly, finds fault with them gave it a 7/10. It was char-broiled and had the smoky flavor that he enjoys, but lacked juiciness, and it wasn’t as thick as he likes. The fries were very good.
If you like a little bit in your beverage I recommend the ginger root soda
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Potions were enough to be able to share.
I ordered the Fish ‘N Chips, and my wife ordered the Baked Stuffed Haddock with Mashed Potatoes and Herbed Focaccia. I also ordered the Wild Maine Lemonade. The Fish ‘N Chips was the best I’ve had. Disclaimer: I’m from a landlocked state, so this may apply to tourists like myself. My wife thought the Stuffed Haddock was surprisingly good, but a bit too hearty for her. She preferred the fish n chips. The Wild Maine Lemonade was too nuanced in its flavors, and I wouldn’t order it again.
The service was excellent the whole time through. There was a 25 minute wait when we arrived, with 5 parties ahead of us, but the host gave us realistic expectations while also letting us know she would try to get us in quickly. Less than 15 minutes later, we received a text that they had a table for us, and we ended up at a golden spot by the front windows. Aaron, our server, was helpful, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience, including patiently answering several of my stupid questions. The service was truly amazing. I enjoyed my visit and would both eat here again and recommend you stop in yourself.
We both got a crab roll with a side of fries/cape cod chips. This was our first time trying a crab roll and I’m afraid to say that it’s going to be difficult to find another crab roll just like this one. The crab tasted delicious; it was so fresh and tangy. I also really enjoyed the fries; they were thick, flavorful, and not too crispy. I also recommend getting a side of tartar sauce!
We also tried a blueberry martini! It was very strong and I loved that there were actual blueberries at the bottom.
The service was also quick and the waiters were nice and attentive. I also really loved how the restaurant looked during the day. It has two floors and has a lot of space for natural light to come in.
I would love to come eat here again and I 10/10 recommend this restaurant.
