    Em was a fabulous server. Food was delicious. Wines were good, not fantastic, but they grew on you. Fisherman’s Platter, fish and chips and lobster roll and clam strips were enjoyed by all. Overall a lovely evening.

    Needs seasoning for their fish. Otherwise it was good quality. Pollock isn’t a good fish choice.

    I was very excited to try this restaurant due to the reviews, the IG videos also because I love oysters. Once we arrived and they took us to our table and our server was horrible. We only saw her a total of 2 times, first time to take our order and to give us our check. I noticed that tables around us that had the same server were extremely frustrated due to the lack of attention. We ordered a Margherita pizza, 6 oysters and popcorn shrimp. The Margherita pizza was very greasy, the popcorn shrimp they brought out was literally 6 pieces and a bunch of popcorn under it. Finally, we had ordered a variety of oysters and no one explained to us what oyster was what. I left very disappointed with the experience and the food.

    Excellent service from Melissa! We received some really small fried oysters so we asked if we could send one back- she gave us two extra! The hot lobster roll was soooo good and filling. Drinks and atmosphere was nice!
