Edgar our waiter was absolutely amazing. He did an outstanding job. Friendly and extremely helpful. Food is always good. Drinks were awesome. Keep the good work up.

We went in a Saturday with a big group without reservation and they were able to accommodate us, but I recommend to prior reserve a table. The service is really good, they are very fast and gentle. The drinks are fantastic. The food was ok, I missed more flavor and I found lobsters very soaked in oil. Fish and chips were amazing, steak and pasta too! There is a parking valet from the restaurant for free.

I had the $33.99 lobster special that came with two stuffed clams (whole clam). The special also came with garlic bread and two sides. For $13.99 extra, I got the lobster stuffed with fresh crab meat. I chose the following sides: a baked potato and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. Dessert was included in the Special. I chose a slice of carrot cake. For a base price of $33.99, the LUNCH SPECIAL was worth it. FAVORITE FOOD: the garlic bread, which was topped with fresh garlic. LEAST FAVORITE: the clam chowder. I prefer whole clams in mine. The chowder had clam bits. I exchanged it for a side salad with blue cheese dressing. The dressing was chunky and delicious. For an alcoholic beverage, I had the HENNESSEY COLADA. It was divine. Tara was my server. She was friendly and did a fantastic job.
