    I really like going to Fathoms. Last night was another really fun night for me and my family. Food was terrific all but the steamers. Very sandy and I did say something and nothing was done about it which I found disappointing.

    Great food here. I would like to see them be a little more generous with portions though. Honey baked scallops are some of the best around.

    Excellent service. These ladies are the best in the area. Becky runs the bar as if she was on TV! The whole experience makes it worthwhile every week. And Matt Silva is exceptional on Thursday nights!!

    Bacon wrapped scallops as an app were excellent as well as the Ahi Tuna and Baked Cod. They never disappoint.

    The local oysters and clams were excellent. The Aji tuna appetizer was also very very good. And to complete the surf and turf theme, we had the Angus beef burgers. The only thing that we were disappointed on is that they stop serving their lemon blueberry dessert.

    We frequent there at least 3 times a month, alway make reservations on Open Table, request a high top table for two, the last three times we arrive for our reservation only to find out the wait for a high top will be over an hour. Last night we ended up at the bar which was fine, the bartender was great. I guess my question is, what is the point of making reservations?
