About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Our two-story fish emporium elevates the 40-year legacy of our original location in Chestnut Hill (a few doors down from where we are now). Here we feature a large raw bar, open kitchen and glass-enclosed lounge. In warmer months, we retract the lounge’s glass walls and ceiling for drinking under the sun or stars. And we open our patio, overlooking Hammond Pond, for al fresco dining. Join us upstairs at our restaurant or shop our fish market on the first floor.

    We had lunch in honor of a birthday. Food was very good, and everyone enjoyed! One person had to cancel because of flooded roads.

    Overall we had a good experience. Prices are up there, but the fish is high quality and nicely prepared, as you would hope. Spicy margarita drink is tasty. Wait staff is friendly.

    Fried seafood batter too hard and dry. Do not order fried stuff, most likely will be disappointed!
