    Out go to after the beach! Order the lobster roll or any of the fish dishes. Always fresh as if they just caught the fish. The oysters are delicious.The servers are so nice and helpful with making food choices.

    Our party of 6 enjoyed an early Father’s Day meal in the outdoor gazebo seating. Service was excellent and appetizers and meals were delicious. Clams casino, fried calamari and meatball appetizers were great! Lobster bale, steak and fries and lobster rolls all delicious. There was a little noise from outdoor music at restaurant next door but otherwise enjoyable afternoon.

    The food was great. We were watching a band play, so it was loud, but so fun. The crab cakes are insanely good - tons of crab meat. I deducted a star because the lobster bisque wasn't the best - no lobster chunks and the taste was off. Other than that, great lobster roll, fun drink menu, delish oysters and great atmosphere. Will be back.
