   I met a business contact for lunch here on a rainy weekday. It was very quiet except for what appeared to be a few other business lunches. The waitress brought us menus, got us a drink and proceeded to ignore us for 30 minutes. We had our laptops out and were discussing business, but out drinks went dry and we had to get a passing busboy to get her. The food was OK. I'm sure its a pleasant outdoor spot for a drink and some apetizers in the summertime. Otherwise....skip it.

   Although we ate here in January, during the summer months this place has a great outdoor space and has music in the summer. The visit this time was due to their winter dinner special 2 for 1. Was very good!

   Sat inside as it was getting chilly. Looks like outside is the place to be. Food was very good.

   It was a warm night and the outside eating area was full. There was good energy and the food and drinks were very good.

   Lobster in lobster roll overcooked and tough. Baked clams tasted good and had large chunks of clam, however they were the texture of rubber bands, and couldn't be chewed. Service was good, but with the poor quality of the food by meansade up for an expensive meal that was mediocre at best.

   The food was really good. It was well seasoned and cooked just right.
