Been here now a couple of times. It's become one of our go-to spots in the area since it has some of the very best clam chowder (five stars)! Service is always great as well and I love the new outdoor seating area. We also tried the spaghetti with red sauce (for the kids) and it was surprisingly very delicious as well. We've also had the fish n chips: chips are super good and the fish is very fresh, but otherwise a bit lackluster. I did recently try their special fish tacos and the salsa was like a vinegar-based salsa and was mind-blowingly good (but again the fish was just a bit on the boring side)! So we'll be sticking with the spaghetti and clam chowder...highly recommend!

Bad service, no smiles, servers give the very minimum of service. The Clam Chowder is overrated and hase no potatoes and tiny bits of clams. Fried fish was overcooked. Fried shrimp was overcooked and tasteless. All food was burnt or overcooked at best. Over rated eatery, avoid at all cost.
