                Service and drinks were fine and the view was great. The lobster roll not so fresh - tasted like it had been frozen and defrosted more than once.

                Very enjoyable experience on the Boston Harbor! Nice selection of seafood and yummy (strong) drinks. We loved being right on the water and watching the boats while we ate. I would recommend if you are looking for a fun seafood place in Boston.

                Drink were no good. Ordered LIIT, bartender was off completely. Appetizers were good. Entrees were no good. My lobster was frozen. Steaks were over seasoned with pepper. No good. Only good thing was my wife salad. Not happy with the meal, especially expending over $500 for the meal.

                Service was quiet slow, and often we felt neglected by our waiter. Our appetizers came and half way through (maybe 10 minutes later) our entrees arrived. Poor job. When we commented on that the response was “well if we hadn’t put it in, you may never have gotten your entrees”. Not a great response. We asked for water another time and waiter filled half the cups on the table and just walked away with plenty of water in the pitcher. The restaurant was busy, and maybe the waiter was stretched thin, but we still never were asked for refills of any ordered drinks. In fact the waiter covering the table next to us was more present than our actual one. Kids popcorn shrimp was 3 large breaded shrimp, not small popcorn style. Tuna entree was pretty good but could have used more of the soy glaze but some bites seemed tasteless. Unlikely we’ll be back.

                Great location! Very busy and a bit crowded. The food was good, but not a high-end dining experience. Great bar service, but the service in the dining room was average. We had a nice time.

                We had a new server. He tried hard and was apologetic for his slowness, etc. but it was a bit frustrating at times. The food was pretty good. It was a bit noisy when we got there, but it got a little quieter as the night wore on.

                Not a fan. Host was lovely and got us a nice table. Waitress was inattentive. Didn’t ask how everything was or if we needed anything. Lobster tasted of ammonia, like it had gone bad.

                Jess our waitress was very nice. The shrimp and crab in the raw bar was very good. Very disappointed in the oysters.
