This is a neighborhood gem. You can tell this place has been there for many years. Local people embraced it in a good way. This is where the Lions International local chapter have their bi-weekly meetings. We had dinner on a Sunday. The hostess and the waitresses were very welcoming, acommodative and cordial. We asked to move tables in between the appetizer and the main course, and the staff agreed without a problem. The seafood was very good, fresh and thoughtfully cooked. My son had the shrimp cóctel as his meal and in a few minutes he ate it all without hesitation. My wife had the two way shrimp (coconut shrimp, broiled shrimp) with the potatoes salad. Her favorite was the coconut shrimp and there was so much shrimp on the plate that the rest of the table nibble on the broiled shrimp. My daughter had some french fries also disappeared from the plate in no time. I had the Mate’s Broiled Flounder, scallops, shrimp and mussels with a side of mash potatoes, all well seasoned and freshly cooked, enough to make you feel full by the end in a good way. The restaurant is rustically decorated, all wood with seafood trinkets and pictures. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Contrary to what some online reviews say, the restaurant staff is putting extra effort to provide very good service. The appetizers and entrees are reasonable priced. We will be back.
