Sat us at a 4 chair spot. 2 tables put together. Our table was wobbly and the table beside it was 1/2 inch taller. Ordered drinks they came in good time. Oysters were good. Ordered the bang bang cauliflower, we have had it before. Must be a high crime area , got 4 pieces . Somebody must have stole some on the way to our table. Cup of chowder was good. Bake haddock came , fish was good. Broccoli was hard , was it supposed to be cooked? Waited for our waiter to come and ask us for more drinks . We waited and waited and waited. Finally got our drinks when our dinner was done. i would have liked the drinks during eating. Partner looked for waited for check , we waited , and waited , and waited. Got check , waited , waited , waited to pay . Finally put together cash , got up found the waiter handed him the check and said we are good. Usually go to the legal at seaport , but it booked for a week out. I will not be going back here

The hostess was rude and bossy. The waitress was rude as well. I had to go ask for the bill because she never came to check on us. The bathroom was dirty and smelly. Overall I was very disappointed.

The crab cake appetizer and the stuffed lobster was very good. We were there about an hour before closing and they were out of a lot of sides. Service was okay as I asked for my Caesar salad before my meal and it all came out together. Only 5 tables full in the restaurant. The staff seemed like they were in go home mode.

Maura, the manager, is the star of the location. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our large party was delayed for a celebration dinner and at other places probably would have caused us to lose the reservation on such a busy graduation night. She made sure to put our celebration experience first, allowing us to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime event with a multicultural group, ages 5-87 from 4 states converging. The food for our large party came quickly and her staff worked as a team. When the mall’s after hours construction project made it hard for us to get to the ground floor with a wheelchair, she went above and beyond to coordinate with mall construction crew and personally assisted us. Award-winning service level for Maura!
