We tried the creole seafood chowder which was very flavourful and amazing esp on a cold stormy night ( which it was when we went )! Highly recommend! I also tried the hot lobster roll served with coleslaw and fries . Which again was very fresh and amazing esp! Highly recommend! And we also ordered the side of brussel sprouts to share and again everything was great ! I also enjoyed my tropical sangria ! Felt like I was somewhere warm and not in the middle of a rain storm ! Finally for dessert I got the bread pudding !! The presentation 10/10 , the flavours 10/10 and the waitress recommended a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and it's a MUST !! Sooo good !!

Everything came out hot and fresh! We also got a lobster roll. It was hot and FILLED with lobster. Just wish we had some more hot butter on the side! We also got some ice cream too at the ice cream window. I got the Nutella Sugar Waffle. The waffle was fluffy and warm with bit of crunchy sugar within the dough. All topped on 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream with the choice of strawberries or banana, I got strawberry ! I was so full I couldn't finish it all! Everything was very good. The prices are decent and the portions are big

This place is great. Beautiful setting looking over the water and boats. I got a fish taco and…read moreshrimp taco. The seafood is high quality and fresh. The taco itself was meh but the seafood is the star. I even came back the next day and I got the fried calamari and fries. The pickle ketchup was awesome for the fries. The tartar sauce was a little lacking but I mixed in some hot sauce which really helped. The cocktail sauce had way too much horseradish. The lines are LONG at peak lunch hours and it's in the open sun. Service is kinda slow with only one register so the line does not move quickly. I will be back for the lobster roll and to try all the other great seafood.

This was my first time in their new location, which used to be where La Stella was for a long time…read more I was happy to see that meant there were many more customers than I ever saw in their old spot. The space is very bright, some LED string lights and flowers make the ceiling pleasant to look at. Lots of seating across a couple of dining rooms now. The service is off a little bit. Old location was small so they didn't really have anyone that was a waitress, just the bartender was the whole front of the house. The waitress was slow, and treated me like a white dude who had never eaten Mexican before, despite our conversation. I don't know, I don't like being assumed to be ignorant? The ceviche tostadas are what I most associate with El Traviezo, I dream of them, and they do not disappoint. A pile of shrimp, some lime, salsa fresca, crema, on a tostada. Simple, brilliant. The chimichanga also lacked. Some crispy, but then slathered in sour cream to make it soggy. This time I got al pastor, and there were some firm bites of pineapple, but otherwise everything inside was neutral. A lot of cheddar cheese that had no flavor drowned out anything else. In the past I've gotten carnitas inside and will have to return to that to see if the quality of the food has gone down or just that I'm not a fan of their al pastor. Overall, I still love El Traviezo and recommend them, but this was not a five star visit.

Not very fresh. I had the al pastor hardshell and my daughter had the soft shell. Very blah , and…read morethe veggies were not fresh. And the El Traviezo nacho salsa and veggies really tasted like two day old leftovers. Advice. If you are going to keep them for the next day, find some space in the fridge.

The views by the window were gorgeous and we ordered a bottle of sauvignon blanc with dinner and watched the sun go down - was pleasantly surprised the mark up on the bottle wasn't higher. My linguine and clams were so yummy - generous with the clams which I was happy to see. My husband enjoyed his steamed lobster - not cheap, but quality and they crack it for you for an extra $5. Skipped dessert because we were so full but their espresso was nice and strong. Would love to come back and sit outside next time!

The waitress took about 20 mins to get to our table right before happy hour ended, even though it was not busy at all. The oysters were big and tasted really good! The main dish came out in another 25 mins and it was good, but not as good as I last remembered. Overall the happy hour oysters are a great deal. The mains dishes were a little more overpriced for what you get. Staff and service was unfortunately very slow. Not disappointed with the experience, but expected a little bit more from this place.

This is a restaurant I've been to many times and I used to speak at the local Rotary and always enjoyed their oyster stew! Rich with cream and butter and full of oysters. This oyster stew is worth the trip. In addition, we decided to have an order of whole belly fried clams and fries. Word of caution the fries are not the best. They are thin and crispy, but difficult to since there's much inside of them. The fried clams are perfectly fried - moist and delicious and what every New Englander is proud of when talking about fried clams. My companion had lobster bisque that she reported was absolutely delicious with a wonderful subtle taste of lobster with cream and butter. Oyster stew ($23) fried clams ($57), lobster bisque ($10), Strawberry shortcake ($9) with two sodas - $113.34 I left a $20 tip for our server who was kind and attentive and appreciated her service The fried clams alone were $57. Fried clams are not inexpensive my friends.

I started with a delicious old fashioned and they brought out some tasty bread. I'd see in some other Yelp reviews about the seafood bruschetta so we got that and I really liked it.

The restaurant was very lively and even though it's attached to a hotel it doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant. There are a lot of steps to the main entrance but I believe there is an accessible entrance using an elevator from the lower level. Don't sleep on this place, it's a good meal at an affordable price.
