    Had a great time here! The crab hush puppies and calamari appetizers was great. The shrimp and lobster roll was okay but the garlic bread with it made it way better. The Mac N cheese was definitely on point, seasoned to perfection. Long Island will have you feeling amazing! 9/10 experience. Definitely will go back for a third time!
