Was given a choice of upstairs or downstairs. We chose upstairs for the view. Didn't disappoint. Very pretty view. Immediately our waitress Andrea stopped by to drop off water and take our beverage order. We decided on fried shrimp and fries for me and fried clams and onion rings for my husband. The food arrived quickly and once again Andrea made sure we had everything we needed. My shrimp was delicious. Fries were good too. Hubby's clams were good too, as well as the onion rings. Hubby tried a new IPA, I stuck with a diet soda. Wish I could have given 4 1/2 stars. Everything was wonderful. A bit expensive, but would definitely return and do it again! A treat worth paying a little more than usual for us. Thanks for a great meal.

My first time at Moby Dick's Oyster Bar & Grill was an overall great experience. It is a classic…read morebar and restaurant setup with main bar seating and tables all around. It isn't huge inside but they use the space so wisely. The kitchen is open to the bar so you can see and hear all the amazing things happening back there which really adds to the local neighborhood vibe. The bartenders there are very sweet and attentive, they help bring the whole experience there to 5 stars. I came on a Wednesday for the $17.99 lobster roll special and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. It is a quarter pound of lobster and you get actual lumps of claw and meat rather than the shredded stuff some other places serve. The butter it's sautéed in is seasoned delicately to accentuate the fresh lobster instead of covering up the taste. The portion was surprisingly large and it comes on a fresh bun that is lightly buttered and toasted. It even comes with a little cup of extra butter which I totally slathered on because I love butter! Every bite was so fresh and soft. The roll comes with fries and I did the optional $5 upcharge for the lobster bisque. That was also the best I've ever had because I've never seen bisque with such large chunks of lobster in it. It was just crazy good. Everything was well worth the price and I'd honestly come back even on days when it's not a special. They have something going on every night like the $9.99 burger and fries on Mondays, so that will definitely be my next reason to visit. I will be back for sure!

The food tastes really good, but lately the service has been disappointing. There have been several…read moretimes when items were missing from my order, and the staff did not seem very professional. I understand that mistakes happen, but it's frustrating when the same item is forgotten over and over again, especially since I visit this restaurant often. Another issue is the portion sizes. For almost $30, I expected a much larger catfish and shrimp platter. The catfish portions were so small that they looked more like chicken tenders than catfish fillets. The manager, Hidi, spoke with us privately about one of the mistakes, which I appreciated. However, after dealing with the same problems repeatedly, I'm disappointed. As a paying customer, I expect better service, accurate orders, and portions that match the price.

The clam chowder had barely any potatoes, or clams and was very watery with not much flavor. The lobster roll was the smallest and saddest looking thing - honestly felt like I got ripped off since it does not look like the pictures people posted.

There had been a snow…read morestorm earlier that Sunday, and there was only other person sitting inside around 4:30, and she seemed to have a connection to the restaurant or the people who worked in the restaurant. Because of the storm, I don't know if it otherwise would have been busier. The restaurant did not have a good vibe when I was there though. At least in the room that I was in, there is counter type seating along the long glass window where you enter, and the other half of that long room was taken up by the counter and food prep area. I ordered at the counter and they brought my fish sandwich to me when it was cooked. Service and the restaurant atmosphere were OK, but neither was a particular selling point. The fish sandwich was also OK. There was a generous amount of fried haddock, served on toasted sliced bread. The fish was fine, but wasn't breaded or seasoned in a way that I enjoyed. The bread choice seemed uninspired. Westville makes a number of different fried seafood and other dishes, and perhaps they're very good at some of those. I'm not likely to return based upon this fish sandwich though. 3 Stars
