    We had a wonderful time as usual. It’s noisy but a downtown popular restaurant, what do you expect? Food is always delicious. We keep coming back.

    So good we retuned for another meal while visiting New England. We sat at the raw bar and watched two gentlemen shucking oysters and preparing chilled lobster. The chilled seafood tower was beyond amazing! Fresh as it gets while breathing in the fresh coastal breezes. Server was wonderful.

    Overall, fine. The seafood pasta was glorified buttered noodles with scallops and shrimp.

    Great restaurant! Best buttered lobster roll we have ever had. Calamari was also very delicious! Lively bar area too. Love this place! Only thing to be made aware of is adding $22 for parking in the lot out front (not associated with the restaurant).
