    Food portion was small but it was good. I didn’t like they sat everyone (3 groups) side by side when it was open tables. One group of 13 was so loud that I could barely enjoy my first time there.

    1-paint lines are too close together in the parking lot. I could not open my door to get in and out of my car. 2-dishes were brought out too close together. I had not finished my appetizer and the main dish was brought out

    Food was good. Service was good. What was not good was the staff's attention being paid to solve my problem. I am mobility impaired so I get around in a wheelchair accessible van where a ramp comes in and out of my van via a remote control. After taking pretty good care not to park in a spot that would hinder me accessing my ramp in my van after dinner, sure enough someone parked next to me so as to not being able to open my passenger door to be able to open the ramp allowing me to enter my van. It took your staff a good 20-30 minutes to find the owner of the vehicle that was blocking the entrance of me getting back into my van. It was a pretty quiet atmosphere, so all your staff had to do was either go table to table to ask if they owned a car that was blocking me in or just go to the middle of the dining area and get everyone attention to see who owned the car that was blocking me in and to please go to the parking lot to move their vehicle, so I would have room to get in my van.

    Ambiance, music, drink was on point but the lobster roll was sad. The meat was almost shredded and dry which was strange but that wouldn’t deter me from going back I just wouldn’t order that again.

    Good food, as always. Very happy with the beer selection as they had one of my favs, Estrella Galicia!! Only downside was the lobster crackers did not work well, and they didn’t have lobster picks which made it very diffuse to get at the meat in the claws. Otherwise, everything was fantastic and delicious.

    Best seafood culinary experience ever. The staff was very friendly, We arrived on time at the facility, and we had to wait for our table. So me and my wife ordered some drinks at the bar and before we had our first sip I received a message (from “Find a Table”) that our table was ready. We had lobster tail and pasta, and they were delicious. The service was great, and we will surely go back to Nick’s for the Sushi’s.

    Made reservations for 7:30PM. Received a text that our table was ready at 6PM but responded back at 7PM to text we were on our way. We arrived at 7:15PM and had to wait 30 min to be seated???? They are understaffed and seemed to have very inexperienced servers. In particular the busboys. An appetizer was forgotten so we canceled it when we got our entrees. Took to long to clear table and take dessert order so we left. The food was very good but the staff on the floor needs better training.

    Made a reservation plenty of time in advance & still had to wait 35 minutes to sit. I can understand if I walked in off the street, but not if you make a reservation. Also if your one of the last ones walking out, the staff gets pushy about unlocking the front door to exit, Otherwise the food was very good, just a bit pricey.

    AWESOME food as usual. Lovely ambiance as always. Got lucky with a window table which my son just looooooves. Sadly the waitress was not very tuned in this time though :/ Only saw her once after order was placed. 12 minute wait for the bill, had to go get her. Will def be back obviously, just a bummer on the service side this time. (Hostess/seater were super friendly/hospital just like every time)

    Love the lobster! The best reason to come here, all the seafood is good, my husband is vegetarian so they made him a pasta dishes which wasn’t so good. The atmosphere is beautiful right on the water. A Childhood favorite place
