What customers say?

“ Okay, disclaimer* we got the Fish Flight - 1 lobster, 1 crab and 1 shrimp. The shrimp and crab were served intentionally cold, and we’re from the Midwest so fish isn’t always on our dinner plate. We did not like it cold, would have been much much better warm in our opinion. The lobster was served warm and we loved it! The bread for the sandwiches were really buttery and therefore delicious. It was good for the snack we needed but probably wouldn’t order that again. Great pickles, healthy drink and not the worst ingredient chips! Loved the seating area and were enjoyed our time in the wharf munching on our local catches. ”

“ I could see why this place has incredible reviews. Started off with the flight to try a little bit of everything and ended up going back that same night to get another truffle butter roll. The lobster roll was the best one I’ve had. Warmed up with butter was the goat. Id come back here any day of the week for another roll. The service was great, staff was nice and you get a drink and chips with your meal too. ”
