Trident Galley & Raw Bar

Right on the water, modern new building and very lively in the summer. The wait staff was pleasant. But one staffer, seem to be his summer job, did not pay attention to his job which was simply taking food from the kitchen to the tables. I saw on several occasions where he continued to bring food outside and the wind would blow pieces of the dish to the floor. You would think he would perhaps walk out the door with back fist the third time but he didn't. I was seated on the inside, when it was time to bring my dishes over, the 1st he did not clear the table, he rather stack the starter plates. When it was time for the entree, he brought me my lobster bisque, which is a soup, with no spoon.

Food was good, prices was a bit high for small plates and the deserts were average. However, if you like a good crowd and happening place in the summer and don't mind the prices, this is a place for you.

Amazing experience here. The moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile. During the busy Friday they offered to sit us at the raw bar, but my wife is allergic to shellfish so asked for a table. Without hesitation they reviewed their reservations and got us a table. Service was amazing. If in the area this place is a must. Food was on point and quick. Try the buffalo cauliflower.

The oysters were fresh and delicious but the grilled octopus I had was a little rubbery. The fried haddock fish taco I had as well was very mediocre and overpriced; it cost $7 for one very small, very basic taco. And the tuna poke was overly seasoned—or it just had too much going on and didn’t taste fresh. However, the service was good. Oh and the the lavender gimlet was tasty.

The food is very, very good. We began with local oysters that were delicious. Three varieties of locals on the menu. They also had some West Coast varieties that we didn't try. We had three small plates: mushroom taco, tuna taco, and yellow-fin tuna poke; and one large plate: pan seared Atlantic salmon over large couscous. All were well-presented and deliciously nuanced. The location is in an up-scale outdoor mall called 'The Launch' on a channel. Plenty of parking, although a little confusing since some is pay and some is not. You should be able to park for free in areas marked for 'The Launch.' The service was adequate but not stellar.

Excellent everything!

The small plates are actually generous portions, as small plate standards go. We over ordered but have no regrets. I'd order everything again but some real winners for me personally were the bone marrow, Cesar salad, and lobster Rangoon.

Decent beer selection. I heard the wine was good. Good margaritas. Great service.

We'll be coming back for sure. And in greater numbers.
