10/10!!! Excellent quick service and everything was delicious. I went with the fried seafood platter. You could tell all the seafood was lightly hand breaded. The scallops melted in your mouth like butter, haddock was perfectly flaky, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not a teensy bit overdone.The staff was very attentive, didn’t have to ask or wait on anything!Definitely stop and give them a try. You can’t go wrong with anything!!

Tried this place for lunch and we really liked it. Food was fresh, the haddock is their most popular dish so we tried it grilled, fried and in a sandwich. Service was great, our server was polite, and made good suggestions.We even had dessert (good chocolate cake)Kid-friendliness: They have a good kids menu

Clam strips are the BEST , no spices !! Salted caramel cheesecake was yummy and coffee was fresh .Kyle was wonderful . We have never sat at the bar before . Kyle was very attentive and made us feel like family .Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to black pepper and the coating on the clam strips doesn't have it ,so I can enjoy it ! I have had the flounder before as well. Sad that the clam chowder has black instead of white pepper .

We had such a fun time tonight! The bartender's drink recommendations were spot on. They knew their drinks inside out and suggested some killer ones. Super friendly and made the night a blast with their cool vibes. Can't wait to go back for more good food and great drinks!

Good prices but pretty average food. Lobster roll was nothing to rave about and calamari was very chewy.

Great food and service, their lobster roll is delicious. Other friends had grilled seafood platters, and they loved it.

It is a great place for fresh seafood offerings. Bistro feel, full bar, friendly service. Knowledgeable staff answered questions without hesitation. Enjoyed the "Maine.i.ac" sandwich with rice. A grilled cheese with 3 strips of bacon and lobster salad. Oh my! The lobster pieces were ample mixed with a light touch of mayo. The bacon was cooked perfectly and not the thin salty mess, probably Applewood smoked or hickory. They offer fried, grilled, Cajun, or lemon pepper for their seafood of shrimp, clams, oysters, and scallops. They have chicken and a nice selection of salads as well. Their version of dirty rice was well seasoned with Old Bay. I was pleased with it as my side. The atmosphere was pleasant with Christmas music at the right volume. I'd eat here often if I lived close.
