The food is always good. You can dine indoors/outdoors and parking! A fav place during the summer months. Enjoyed my Valentine's Day with some cool vibes, great staff, & excellent food. Never had the steak before (and I've been here several times) and I must say Kudos to the chef. Both the skirt steak & filet mignon were great! Yummy every bite.

Love the ambience here. I always sit outside by the water. The service is excellent.. Went for lunch on Sunday. We were seated right away. They have plenty of seats inside as well as outside. The food was amazing. We ordered oysters (they were good), clam chowder (nice smoky flavor but not thick, good), lobster mac n cheese (delicious ), lobster cheesy bread (amazing) burger and fries (delicious), and the lobster salad with shrimp and scallops (the best ever), crab pot ( delicious). I have been here several times over the years and it remains amazing and delicious. I cannot wait to go back.

I’ve taken my family here for dinner, time and time again, we’ve ordered just about everything on the menu, and have yet to find something we didn’t like. The lobster Mac & cheese is amazing !!! And the crab cake platter is highly recommended. Fresh sea food cooked properly & perfectly seasoned . Just open the menu & point you really can't go wrong !!!

Fried scallops, baked clams and salmon. Salmon was perfectly cooked and one side having a little crispness which is delicious. When in season the soft shell crabs are a must have dipped in cocktail sauce and I'm happy. The grilled shrimp scampi with the same sauce on the rice is finger licking good. Baked clams and New England Clam Chowder. Will satisfy your clam craving. Nice seating inside and outside on a deck with views on the bay. The music on the outside deck in summer is a great time to spend with friends.

Service is phenomenal. Gene took care of us yesterday (Valentine’s Day). We didn’t have to wait for anything. She was on top of it. Very kind staff. The workers made sure our table was free of any dirty dishes almost immediately as they were put to the side. My children got clam chowder. I snuck a taste, and it was a very nice New England taste. The lobster tails were cooked to perfection. The lobster roll was even more delicious, and we took that Togo. My s/o had the paella and said the half lobster was extremely tender. Drinks were made with lots of love. To end it all we took red velvet cake Togo. It ended up being my favorite thing. I highly recommend saving room for desert. Overall wonderful experience and would recommend it.

My wife has been asking for seafood and we decided to check this place out! I’m happy we did; she was so happy and satisfied with the food portions and customer service. Place was spacious and had amazing views. The kids enjoyed themselves by looking at the water and just enjoyed the outdoor seating. Price wasn’t that bad for what we had that big especially for seafood here in NY, we’ve always preferred seafood other places but here but today we had a great experience and we’d suggest people to try and check this place out!

This establishment is genuinely deserving of praise! I arrived at the establishment just as it was beginning to open. It was impeccably clean, well-organized, and impeccably maintained. The food was exceptionally delicious, exceptionally fresh, and hot. The view and seating area was right on the water, where you could observe beautiful wildlife and bring your boat. It truly is a true gem!
