The fella who we purchased our Winnebago van from highly suggested this to us! I’m happy we went because it was so good! I’m a clam lover so I got a bowl of steamed clams and a delicious clam chowder! My husband loved his lobster roll! The staff were super pleasant! We sat outside upstairs and it was a beautiful view of the harbor!

We came for a birthday lunch for my mom and we both really enjoyed our meals. We loved the heated outdoor area overlooking the water. I had the Caesar salad with chicken and really liked it. My mom had a pumpkin ravioli and that was great too! Will definitely be back.

You win some, you lose some — and this was a loss. Honestly surprised the reviews are so high; must be for the view, which is lovely. I’d recommend coming here for a beer or glass of wine at sunset, but skip the food and cocktails. We ordered the lobster roll (have had better from a truck) and the swordfish taco, which came with sweet seaweed, mango on a flour tortilla - weird combo. Also ordered an aperol spritz that lacked fizz/ spritz, beer was fine.

I stopped here for a relaxing lunch. The view was awesome. I had the fish chowder which was delicious. The fish sandwich and roasted vegetables were also incredible. The service was very friendly. It really made my afternoon enjoyable.

What's not to enjoy about this meal experience? We had a lovely view, even without a high top table. My husband got the baked haddock and I had the sesame salmon. Both were absolutely delightful! I could eat that salmon dish every day! The staff were friendly and attentive.
