   Booked a reservation on Super Bowl Sunday, got there and was closed. No big deal, but don’t take reservations if you are not going to be open,

   Unfortunately we were unable to dine here because they were closed & didn’t inform us, imagine our surprise when we got there & found it closed. We were celebrating New Year’s Eve & my son’s birthday. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone for sheer lack of professionalism.

   We chose to sit at bar. Bartender/server gave impression of inexperience in the bartender portion of duties. Made me stay away from any cocktails. 2nd person was deep cleaning bar during out presence. We ordered 3 Maine lobster rolls (1.5 for each of us.) Lobster was a bit stringy - says not really fresh or over-cooked. The quantity and taste were good. Rolls were soggy - lack of proper grilling.

   Such a strange experience. The place was beautiful, nearly empty but most of the tables were dirty. The dishes and glassware was dirty. Screws were popping out of chairs. The waitress greeted us by asking if we had a reservation. (Again, the place was empty). She told us the reservation was for four but I could see I had made it for 6 people. We almost walked out before we even ordered. We should have. The food was okay but they serve dinner salad on tiny plates which made it difficult to eat. The fried shrimp dinner and calamari appetizer was bland. This who ordered the lobster rolls like them. We didn’t receive an itemized bill and were shocked by how high the final bill was. We were a party of six so gratuity could have already been added but we didn’t think to ask until it was too late. We will not go back.

   The Connecticut Lobster Roll is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is fun. Our server was sweet and provided excellent service. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to install an elevator. The stairs are difficult for individuals with mobility issues and prohibitive for those with severe mobility issues.

   Sleek, modern decor with a sophisticated beach feel. Absolutely delicious meatball appetizer and the lobster roll was outstanding. Matt was friendly and gracious. Chic casual dining experience, will definitely return.
