They have a solid menu variety--I highly recommend the Kingston Trio if you like pasta, and my wife loved her steamed shrimp with extra Old Bay. ​The vibe here is great: clean, inviting, and it smells amazing the second you walk in. It's a very welcoming environment that isn't too loud or "over-the-top." Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or a big family dinner, this is the place. Everyone in our group left happy. A huge thank you to the cooks and servers for the hard work--it was well worth the tip. Definitely check them out!

The calamari wasn't cooked crispy enough for me but it was fresh. My mother had the fried oysters and fries. She loved it! The service was great. The decor was nice. Bathrooms were clean.

The food took a long time, drink refills took over 20 minutes with reminders to the waitress. I was looking forward to dessert however the bill was presented to us hastily with no mention of dessert and by that time with all the waiting I was just ready to leave. The food was okay but way overpriced for what we got.

I'm a fan of a Connecticut style roll (hot buttered lobster roll) so this was on my must-try list. The roll was expensive ($25) for a very small roll (we finished it in three bites) BUT it did contain both claw and tail meat. The roll was fresh and buttery and the lobster was cooked well. I only wished the lobster contained a little more butter. They had other items on the menu such as crab fries, coconut shrimp and on Facebook they show snow crab rolls coming soon (yuuum). The staff were really kind and even threw in a few fries for us to try. Overall, a nice experience but just expect to spend some money!

Sadly, I wasn't. Service: I stood in line for 40 minutes before I ordered and then another 12 minutes for my food. Yes, there was a line ahead of me, yet there really was zero sense of urgency to move that line at above a snails pace. I also had to ask for forks and napkins Sandwich was pretty small, and lobster was chopped up and heavily seasoned. IMHO, it didn't taste fresh either, like maybe the seasoning was an attempt to cover the quality or freshness. Roll was not sturdy enough to support the lobster (pretty sure it was a cheap hotdog bun) Two sandwiches =$52.
