Roasted brussels sprouts were great a little spicy, New England clam chowder was excellent, my shrimp tacos were excellent as well! The cod sandwiches were good, but lots of overly crispy coating. Homemade chips were great! Great view of the river and our server Christawas again excellent !!

Overall a nice meal. The fried food, fries and shrimp, were not cooked in correct temp oil and so were greasy, undercooked a bit. The crabcakes and salmon were excellent. Bread pudding quite good. Overall B- , need to up their frying game. All else was good, service ambience etc.

made a reservation like I have many times before; breakfast took 90 minutes and low quality; I had no problem paying high prices in the past when things were running well; management seems to not care; sad collapse of a former favorite

Rockfish dish was not appealing. Dark meat, skin, mushy potatoes. Expensive, low quality.

Our waiter let us know before serving us that he was new. Of course, not a problem we understand and more than willing to be patient. We order salads to start off as appetizers. After about 15-20 minutes go by. Still no Salad. We were okay with this of course. We could see that it was busy. We then noticed a table sat down in the same section with he same sever we had. Maybe about another 10 minutes go by we still hadn’t gotten our salads. My girlfriend pointed out that the table that sat after us had received their salads. (Same salads we ordered Cesar and little salad) She became irritated at the point being she’s a server as well. At the moment we were going to ask for the check and the salads and mussels that we order had arrived. I personally didn’t care for the mussels we over cooked and very chewy. Over all waiting 45 for 2 salads and mussels was not in our date night plans.
