Get the poke appetizer, very good. Of all the tacos, the blackened swordfish is the best. Skip the lobster tacos. Ask for extra tortillas as the ones they serve with the tacos get soggy.

Everything was hood and fresh. Deliciously seasoned! The lobster was amazing! Decor very casual but the food is 5star!

The food is amazing! You Def. Need to come out here and try it! Super friendly and fast service. Try the poke!

Avoid the temptation and do not get the lobster taco. The meat is claw meat from Maine and is a little chewy. All the grilled fish tacos are dank, though. Try your favorite fish blackened!

The seafood is fresh. You'll need to doctor up the dishes. Break out the Tapatio. Add a little salt and pepper with lemon juice to the mayo. Good local joint.

Good food, awesome atmosphere and GREAT service! A plus that in off season they stay open late (10pm!)

While it lacks a happy hour menu, it has amazing food and beer for the price and extremely fast and friendly service. A pool table and TVs are available too. A+

I tried seafood skewer (kabob), chowders, and fish and chips. All was really good

We had the seafood pasta. It was enough to share with someone else. Make sure you try the monkey balls!

No frills, but fresh fish restaurant- go early as they don’t take reservations. Sea bass is good.

Clam chowder and lobster salad were great for lunch!
Heather BohnFebruary 10, 2013
Get the pancake breakfast shot! Comes with bacon, orange juice, and a buttercream shot!!! So good!

first time here for dinner took almost two hours to get food. The food was so good we came back next day for lunch. Fast excellent service and still so good

Service was subpar for a big group, but the food was great. I'd recommend staying with the Seafood. (Lobster, ironically is not always available)...

I love how the cooks drink on the job here!
Kaitlyn WilliamsNovember 6, 2012
Clam chowder was heavenly. Blackened swordfish tacos were okay. Meat was too salty.
Dave BentonAugust 23, 2011
Not sure why great reviews here. It's mediocre at best not bad but food is just OK. Overpriced and staff gets the job done but not friendly.
@TripDawgApril 26, 2012
Only spot serving grubs late around here!
Phyllis LernerFebruary 4, 2012
Steamed artichoke - amazing flavor!
S. K. Mouflon B.May 18, 2013
