    It seems to have past its golden age. The restaurant needs a revamp. The sides were too salty and bland. However, they definitely still have a great lobster roll. But that’s all that they had to offer to help justify the high price. You don’t get what you pay for. It has transitioned from something that was once special to a blah chain.

    I ordered Seared Tuna. It wasn't Seared. I did inform the Server to tell the Chef to increase heat on the Grill. Very disappointed.

    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

    Our waiter was friendly. Greeting was not at all friendly upon arriving. Restaurant is very dark. Good was average at best. Soup was barely warm. Won’t go back.

    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.
