    Service was excellent, but when our food was brought out we received a $30 lobster roll that was the size of an appetizer. Not a big deal, tasted great, but then when the lobster Mac and cheese arrived with a single piece of lobster in it ($24), I made a joking comment to the waiter about how ridiculous that was and he agreed, says he deals with it a lot and even took 50% off our bill for the Mac and cheese which he didn't need to do. Will never be going back because of the food.

    The food was very bad, it's a lobster bar, but on the plate were just a couple of pieces of lobster. We tried a lot of different dishes and was the same problem Also, the server was very bad, spill the wine on my friend, forgot our order, was difficult to communicate with him.

    Had oysters, muscles, lobster Mac n cheese, and lobster roll. The stars were the roll (and pickles) and the oysters. Really spectacular meal.
