First time visiting, very festive. The steamer pot is great, as well as the blue crab soup. Tasty and generous drinks. Boisterous, don’t go for a quiet dinner, go to have fun and a beachy evening!

Crab bloody Mary was/is truly a gift -- moderately priced wines; best cooked halibut we've had; skirt steak dish a little over salted and starched, but cooked correctly. For the off season Starboard Claw seems the happenin' place full of happy customers, young and old. We'll be back again and again! Oh, Tyler was a superb waiter!

Service was great. My halibut and my husbands hamburger were overcooked a bit. We were with friends and I think they enjoyed their food. We all loved the hot fudge sundae!
