    First time visiting, very festive. The steamer pot is great, as well as the blue crab soup. Tasty and generous drinks. Boisterous, don’t go for a quiet dinner, go to have fun and a beachy evening!

    Crab bloody Mary was/is truly a gift -- moderately priced wines; best cooked halibut we've had; skirt steak dish a little over salted and starched, but cooked correctly. For the off season Starboard Claw seems the happenin' place full of happy customers, young and old. We'll be back again and again! Oh, Tyler was a superb waiter!

    Football on the TV- perfect for a Sunday evening Menu was very eclectic and The Food was excellent. To make it even better The Service was excellent We Can’t wait to return- must be a popular place in the high season but was great for us in October

    Service was great. My halibut and my husbands hamburger were overcooked a bit. We were with friends and I think they enjoyed their food. We all loved the hot fudge sundae!
