    Excellent meal with varied menu. Salmon was excellent as were drinks and clams. A bit loud so not the place for romantic dinner , but great addition to south shore

    We were seated right away and greeted by our server. Service was prompt and friendly without being hovering or trying to rush us out the door. The food was very good and exactly as described in the menu. Portions were reasonable and everything was delivered when requested. The only issue I had was that I had requested a table in as quiet an area as possible. I’m not sure if that exists in this restaurant. However, the noise level was tolerable and conversation possible in normal tones. A very pleasant dining experience and I will visit again.

    The only recommendation is that the restaurant a better music selection in the background. The music didn’t fit the atmosphere of the restaurant.

    We enjoyed sitting at a high top in the bar. The service was excellent as was the food. The oysters Rockefeller and the lobster rolls were delicious!

    I love the places, but the tables were super close together and it was super noisy. Other than that everything was great.
