We know good seafood, we know how to buy it and we know how to prepare it. Unlike most restaurants (even the best of them) where fish is often a secondary item on the menu. at Flaherty's it's all about seafood.

    I love this place! The clam chowder is some of the best in the United States and the service is great. The only reason I don’t give them a perfect score. It’s because they seem to be out as most of their Goodwine all the time.

    Started with dozen oysters but was not told what the different types were. Lobster gnocci was okay but portion was very small and not worth the price. The paella was recommended by server and it was awful (very liquidy), and not worth the price. Server never came and asked about our meals for feedback. Disappointing experience overall.

    Just ok. We ordered the market price fish and it did not taste like it was fresh. Literally everything from the soup to the calamari was way too salty. Would not eat here again. Plus wait staff did not check up a lot. The bartender gave out free drinks to some tables. He walked up asking you to scan a QR in exchange of good reviews after
