Great service, great food! Visited my aunt and uncle on Friday and they highly recommended this nice restaurant in Old Town. I had the crab cake sandwich, with French fries and my hubby had clam chowder, crab cake, and hush puppies YUMMY! A must try(:
The food was EXCELLENT, I cannot stress this enough. And if you have someone in your party that doesn't care for seafood, no problem - they have other dishes that are so delicious and they don't have that underlying taste of seafood. The decor and atmosphere is just perfect. It feels like you're in a restaurant at the bottom of a beautiful boat. The lighting is dark, the woods are dark in color, and you just feel like you're out to dinner on a beach vacation.
Food: We had a last minute meal here for seafood and maybe drinks. Loved the spot but just missed the seafood on display on ice visible from outside! Went with the server suggestion of the very popular lobster roll and was exactly what I was craving! For $23 it seems pricey, but it's a mound of fresh lobster chunks. I offered a friend a piece and the piece they grabbed was actually the claw meat (the whole thing. Ugh I was so sad). Personally I would have asked for a side of the dressing to add because I like it. Also, we started off with the clam chowder which was creamy and had plenty of clams! Topped it off with a cold beer and club soda with lime. Fair pricing for the drinks!
Building: Was greeted by a hostess who gave me the option of the bar area or the restaurant area, I appreciated the opportunity! Bar area is dim lit with TVs and lively ambiance, restaurant area is well lit and modern with quaint decor.
Staff: Hostess greeted us promptly and sat us in a booth in a nice quiet section. Server met us promptly with our menus and brought over drinks in a timely manner. Over all great experience here, as it was my very first time!
Fantastic food and great service! This was one of our favorite restaurants 30 years ago when we lived here and it is still a favorite! We were first seated next to a family with a child that kept kicking the back of the booth. Our server barely waited for us to say anything before he offered to move us. Our new booth was much more comfortable and relaxing making the meal very enjoyable. We walked down from our hotel so I'm not sure if there restaurant has parking but there is street parking and lots nearby.
I attended a large catered event, the limited menu provided was sufficient and it was tasty enough. The service was less than great, but to be fair, they looked short handed. For a group of 90+ people I only saw 2-3 staff. It took around 25min to serve a table and they never took away empty glasses or plates. By the time our table was fully served, my plate was cold. I imagine for smaller parties it's probably quite good.
