    We visited for the first time to celebrate my husband’s birthday with a party of five. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. We ordered two different appetizers for the table, which were tasty and well-prepared. While the main entrées took a while to arrive, we understood as it was a busy day, and we were enjoying our conversation. However, when the food finally arrived, it was just okay , nothing remarkable. What really stood out was the lack of attentiveness from our waiter. He did not check in on us during the meal, nor did he make any effort to create a welcoming or celebratory experience. Another waiter ended up bringing additional water while we ordered two more Calypsos. To top it off, the bill was brought without asking — we were not offered dessert or even shown a dessert menu, which was disappointing, especially since it was a special occasion. Overall, while the food was passable, the poor service overshadowed our experience. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on the service we received.

    It was wonderful experience.. location was a bit industrial but the decor made up for it. Just felt that 2 Coke’s 2 signature rolls bake clams and rice crunch looks like a small roll came to $148…, i could have had a nice steak for that just saying I only went there for lunch ?? Just saying price could have been a bit more for lunch .

    Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5. Ambience was excellent. We went there for my friends birthday. One of the appetizers was wrong order. I didn’t want to bother with them so I just leave it as it is. I requested whatever desert we order if can be with a candle for my friend. 3 dessert arrived with no candle.

    Our waiter was very attentive and offered great suggestions to our questions. The octopus appetizer was delish. The spaghetti with seafood was prepared al dente and very delectable. On the water location and a lovely spot for all occasions.

    Two stars for nice outdoor dining patio. Nice hostess , very sweet. It ends there. First the parking lot was closed because full capacity? We parked in Karina next door , not big deal but as we walked in there were 10 spots at least, available, plus it’s a valet parking? Oysters were horrible, smallest flimsiest oysters ever and all were stuck to the shell. Clams were nasty looked as if they were picked out of the murky brown harbor adjacent to the restaurant. Lobster roll was held together with mayo and atop a stake hot dog bun . We went last year and it was actually pretty good, but this year it’s a mess. New management? Not sure
