    Love this place and eat here regularly. My go to dish is usually the grilled calamari, which is really good, but this time I tried the calamari tacos. This will be my new go to. I highly recommend it.

    Fantastic seafood spot with incredible value. The food was fresh and delicious, and the local wines were both excellent and very reasonably priced. For a seafood restaurant, the price-to-quality ratio is hard to beat. 🤩Service was truly phenomenal — thoughtful touches like splitting shared dishes onto two plates made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! 😍

    Had a group of 8 of us, some looking for seafood and others wanting other things. All were very happy with food and service. Seafood was very fresh and delicious. Service was great. Beers were nice but the mixed drinks were very small pours. Would recommend if in area.

    One of the longest running eateries on the wharf, they still serve the best calamari and clams. Our server, Joe, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. He helped select a great Chardonnay and I must say that the prices were a bargain. A can’t miss place to enjoy the wharf and a good meal.

    Your support is important to us, Joseph, and we're happy to hear that you enjoyed our calamari and clams. We look forward to welcoming you back for another delightful meal!
