Nice little spot that left me pleasantly surprised. The ham and cheese omelet I had was really good. The potatoes that came with them tasted a little odd, but overall the food was great.

I was in Boston for PAX East. I saw this little cafe was close to the the convention center so I wanted to check it out. I got the Fisherman's Platter which was fried clams, calamari, shrimp, and haddock. It was so good, I honestly didn't think I was going to finish it all lol. You can tell their seafood is fresh and really good quality. There isn't much of an atmosphere but with food this tasty that really doesn't matter.

Great service, the price is right, and the best cornbread muffins I've had at a restaurant. Cafe style, diner food... Which means it's everything I wanted!

I had heard about this place from a local and I had always wanted to try it. I finally made the time to go and it was awesome. They are only open for dinner one day a week which is on Friday nights until 8:00 p.m. I ordered the fisherman's platter because it offered a variety of seafood. It had shrimp, haddock fillet, calamari, scallops, fried clams with the bellies, french fries and coleslaw. The service was prompt and efficient and the food came out quickly. One of the major problems with ordering Seafood is that it is often too overly breaded and you taste more of the bread comes than you do of the seafood itself. That was not the case here. Everything was had a light bread coating that didn't interfere with the the subtle flavors of the various types of seafood. My server Sophia was prompt courteous and checked in on me regularly to make sure that I had everything I needed. I will definitely make time to go back.

Chowder was decent. Cesar salad was nothing special, just bagged lettuce. Chicken parm came out fast but was cold lacking any flavor. Friday night at 630 only 4 tables full but service was very subpar. Atmosphere is odd for a restaurant. Looks like an office building. Very cold. Folks next to us kept coats on.

As others have mentioned, this restaurant is set up like a cafe in an industrial park. But what cafe sells fresh grilled mackerel, scallops, and prawns? If you don't need candles and harp music when you eat, this is a cost effective choice for wonderful seafood. The menus are well-used paper sheets. Small selection of beer and wine available. Tablecloths come out around 4pm on Friday - the only day they are open until 8pm. Seafood processing plant employees get their meals here so that says something, too!

Very disappointing. For $75....Lobster roll on a plain hot dog roll. Not a grilled split top. Clams were cold and chewy. Would not recommend.
