Seafood boil was amazing and one of the rare food experiences that you can’t easily find (if at all) in the city. Everything was cooked perfectly, not easy to do with a seafood boil. Would love for this to be an annual tradition!

We really enjoyed our lunch here. The service and food were great. I liked that the airy front part of the interior. You didn’t have to be outside but it felt like we were on a covered porch. The street noise was obvious but it was fine.
