This was so good we came here twice. This small restaurant has some amazing food options that will leave you very, very satisfied. Price is a bit high, especially for the grilled options, but they are absolutely worth it. Staff is also very friendly, helpful and nice. It is very busy, we were lucky to find a place. I can't even imagine how busy it is in summer. My favorite was the Fisherman's Stew, an absolute must if you come here. Also safe for celiacs and people with gluten allergy, only a few options are not gluten free in the menu and they are very much aware of them. Fisherman's Stew: 10/10. Please order it if you come here, it will blow your mind. Whole lobster: 10/10. Amazing flavor, sides also very, very good. Grilled wahoo: 8/10. It is amazing, but honestly a bit pricey given the portion size.
This place is an absolute gem! We had the chowder soup and it was super good and full of amazing taste. We also tried the Spiny Lobster which was cooked perfectly, super fresh and flavorful. Their lemonade stood out! My husband had the wahoo fish and he loved it. The view while eating is also incredible. Highly recommended if you are a seafood lover.
Enjoyable location, friendly staff, good food. The fish tacos have a little bit of diced jalapeño on them so be aware of that if you don't want some slight heat. The chowder was a bit peppery but I enjoyed that.
It's your typical by-the-dock dining experience. It's much better of eating outside looking at the boats than sitting inside. Yes, seating is rather limited and the tight space will get crowded during peak. If you do order fried stuff like I did, please don't have it to go. It doesn't so the chef justice. The food has great flavor and incredible portion. I ordered the seafood platter: 3 pieces of shrimps, 1 crab cake, 1 piece of fish and a lot of fries. My recommendation to the restaurant would be cut the amount of the fries by half and put in extra piece of fish. Generally, the experience was pleasant and the staff were friendly. From the pics, you can tell that they care about the environment.
One of the only places I’ll go to for seafood! Everything is fresh, and it’s all reasonably priced. This is the place to go if you just want good seafood and a serene view without the frills of an overpriced dine-in experience. If you sit on the deck, be prepared to defend your plate. Seagulls are ruthless but the view is so relaxing and I promise your food won’t last long on your plate anyway. I love the grilled shrimp skewers and I never leave without one kind of fish taco and a golden fried fillet. Fry basket shrimp are yuge. Also Matt who works there is rad!
