We really enjoyed the food, it was fresh and delicious. However, the service left a lot to be desired. I understand it was a busy day (Father’s Day), but our server’s attitude and demeanor felt rushed and inattentive. She seemed impatient while we were ordering, and it took a long time to get our drinks and even basic items like utensils. We were there to celebrate both my husband’s and brother-in-law’s birthdays, which we noted in our reservation. We even reminded the host and asked for a special birthday dessert. Unfortunately, while we saw other tables receive birthday treats, ours never came. The server brought us the check without us even asking, and when we inquired about the desserts, she simply said they had been taken to another table. It was a disappointing experience considering we were there for a special occasion.

Our server was wonderful. She was friendly, prompt and attentive. The food options were great and everything tasted great. Since it was Father's Day it was busy, but we didn't have to wait long at all...for anything!

I’ve never written a public review before but this place was so horrible that I have no choice but to warn people to stay away. Our food was cold. Literally the rice was like leftovers straight from the fridge. The kids fries were mushy. The waitstaff was unreachable. We asked for silverware and napkins after our food came and it took 10 minutes. The only positive in that was the food had a chance to come up to room temp vs. freezing cold. Don’t even bother here if you’re gluten free. The menu was mislabeled and staff was unclear on options.

Service and drinks were fine and the view was great. The lobster roll not so fresh - tasted like it had been frozen and defrosted more than once.

Nina was awesome. Thank you! It would have been better if outside smoking was allowed.

Very enjoyable experience on the Boston Harbor! Nice selection of seafood and yummy (strong) drinks. We loved being right on the water and watching the boats while we ate. I would recommend if you are looking for a fun seafood place in Boston.

Drink were no good. Ordered LIIT, bartender was off completely. Appetizers were good. Entrees were no good. My lobster was frozen. Steaks were over seasoned with pepper. No good. Only good thing was my wife salad. Not happy with the meal, especially expending over $500 for the meal.

Service was quiet slow, and often we felt neglected by our waiter. Our appetizers came and half way through (maybe 10 minutes later) our entrees arrived. Poor job. When we commented on that the response was “well if we hadn’t put it in, you may never have gotten your entrees”. Not a great response. We asked for water another time and waiter filled half the cups on the table and just walked away with plenty of water in the pitcher. The restaurant was busy, and maybe the waiter was stretched thin, but we still never were asked for refills of any ordered drinks. In fact the waiter covering the table next to us was more present than our actual one. Kids popcorn shrimp was 3 large breaded shrimp, not small popcorn style. Tuna entree was pretty good but could have used more of the soy glaze but some bites seemed tasteless. Unlikely we’ll be back.
