    Delicious food. We had a group of seven and everyone ordered something different and each person was mostly pleased with their choice. Swordfish was over-cooked and fried calamari was mediocre at best. All other entrees were excellent.

    Hands down the best seafood we've ever eaten. We had the crab cake appetizer and then split the stuffed lobster tails. Wow. The cheesecake was also good but I wish we would have asked for no seasonal (strawberry) topping as it was wonderful plain. Our server was excellent. Wish we could have gone there twice when we were in town.

    Have not been here since before the pandemic, so we were sorely disappointed the second floor was now reserved for private events only. We were seated in the ground floor dining room which has a decidedly cafeteria-like atmosphere. No complaints whatsoever about the food or service, but a somewhat more sophisticated dining experience should have been retained for those of us who crave a less energetic (and loud) environment.

    Very disappointing. Waiter refused to serve me what I wanted (grilled tuna) cooked the way I wanted it (well done). I asked 3 times. He kept saying I wouldn't like it. I know how I like tuna cooked and told him so. He made it obvious that he would tell the kitchen to overcook the fish into a hockey puck if I kept insisting. I gave up and ordered something else. I wanted the tuna. It ruined the experience. The food was ok, but the evening was spoiled. Will not return.

    Lobster bisque was like hot water, lobster roll not the quality for a top seafood restaurant and the price. Service very poor. Over 2 hrs for meal for 2.
