    Service was very good. Cocktails were good but a few things were overcooked. Coconut shrimp & the cod entree with rice were very dry. Oysters Rockefeller were excellent!

    Five of us celebrated Mom's 92nd birthday. Beautiful water views from our table. Our server was great and all of our meals were delicious! We are locals and there are so many restaurants in the area to choose from, but The Fisherman is definitely a winner!

    The "young" hostess attempted to seat us a dirty table that had not been cleaned and set up for next service. Had to request different seating. The food was disappointing. Under seasoned (had the cod sandwich) poor presentation on the crab cake (not what they advertised) and the buttermilk chicken sandwich was burnt. Our waitress was pleasant, but the whole experience was underwhelming. Probably will choose to go elsewhere next time.

    Excellent fish and chips and fried clams for an enjoyable lunch. It was a bit windy so we sat inside, but on a calm day it would be beautiful to sit on the outdoor patio. With excellent service, a beautiful setting, great food, and reasonable pricing this is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner

    Beautiful water view. Cute establishment. Service was good - attentive without being overbearing. We went for an early lunch so it wasn’t too busy or loud at all. Food was subpar. Dry fish and jasmine rice. Clam chowder was way too salty (and I can handle my salt). Glad I came once but I won’t be back.

    Very nice decor. Great service. Food quality ranges from great to mediocre. Steamers were excellent. Captain's Cod was tasteless except the rice which they must have dumped an extra gallon of salt in the water. Choose carefully and you will get a great meal. Choose poorly and you won't want to return.

    Waited 45 minutes with a reservation. Waitress was sweet and did her best but the food service was slow and didn’t come out as requested. Seemed very understaffed for the crowd and Very pricy for this level of overall service.

    We had to wait because they were under staffed which was understandable..The food was good, our server was very nice. They seated a party of 6 right behind us that was so loud and rude that it really made our experience not great. I think large parties should all be in one area. We were having a cozy dinner for 2 and when these people were seated we just wanted to leave. We did not order desert or coffee we just wanted our bill.

    Overall, the restaurant is beautiful and appealing. BUT. It’s VERY NOISY! The entire dining room is all hard surfaces. Noise deadening panels in the ceiling and possibly carpet over the hardwood floors would make a huge difference.

    The Dinghy and Lobster Madeira were main courses. The sauce for lobster was a little weak with flavor but lobster and mushrooms more than made up for it. Scallops and lobster bisque as well. No issues with scallops but I would rather have lump lobster meat in bisque. 2 swallows and it was gone. We would recommend again. Brianna was an attentive and friendly waitress. The view was great around sunset.

    My husband said that was the best-cooked braised rib he's ever had and he loved the chocolate raspberry cake. The fried whole belly clams were delicious-crispy outside and tender inside. The key lime pie was the best I've ever had. The service was great. Water views are beautiful.

    This is a restaurant that specializes in seafood. The food is very good. We got the burrata salad with arugula which was delightful. For dinner, we each got the steamed lobster with fabulous Parmesan potatoes, and seasonal veggies of carrots and green beans.. Delicious. What we found odd was the absence of a small pick to go with the cracker to shell the lobster. When we asked, it was as if it was an oversight, but we were given a cocktail fork which really isn’t as helpful as the pick. The restaurant was only at half capacity so it wasn’t an availability issue due to the crowd. Then the restroom only had watered down soap and cold water to wash your hands. Seems like something should be addressed. The food is very good here though, and the staff is friendly.

    Was very disapointed after going for many years we returned for a nice dinner, my favorite lobster maderia was changed, nothing like it was before, odd taste I would call it bitter, left half. the cod was so over battered that there not much left after the batter was removed. was surpised that you do not have a blender to mix drinks. Waitress was nice not over friendly.

    Service was extremely slow. There was only one other table in the restaurant for lunch which we were there. Food took forever to come out. Waitress was reading something over by waitress station rather than occasionally checking on fully water, more drinks or most importantly checking on where our food was.
