Amazing food. The cod dish was fantastic and the raw bar selection is unmatched. You will pay a bit more but the quality is well worth it!!! Bar staff is amazing. Super friendly.

Amazing place!! The mussels, New England clam chowder and the samples of pates, was incredible! The crab was my favorite!!! The waiter was JT and he was so friendly and attentive!! Don’t forget to bring your ID, even if you are having non alcoholic drinks, they ask for.

Delicious and such a kind staff! Kyle and Jack were the best help on our first time here. Fish and chips 10/10, fish tacos 10/10, and the fried oyster sliders 10/10! Cannot recommend enough.

Great experience all around! Even though we were dressed more casual sporting a 3 year old, stroller and bags, the staff was super friendly, seafood was fresh and delicious (and very reasonably priced w good portions) and even the kids meal was fresh w amazing side choices! Brittany was a great server! Will definitely return on our next visit!

Upscale and casual at the same time. The food was superb and we enjoyed a few happy hour cocktails. Nice open contemporary atmosphere with areas for all occasions - big beautiful bar, surrounded by high tops that double as booths, and classic dining tables throughout the main area. I liked the subdued and natural lighting overall. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's a great space to have a meal alone, take a client, a group (especially if the company is paying), or celebrate a special event with a partner or family. We raise oysters in NH, so it was great seeing local oysters on the menu.

I live on the Gulf Coast. We don’t know lobster, but we do know seafood and shellfish. The lobster roll was very expensive. I had extremely high expectations. It absolutely blew me away. Maybe the best lobster I’ve ever eaten. Very simple, no fancy stuff, just perfectly cooked and seasoned lobster in a roll that was the perfect amount of soft vs crunchy. We would eat here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful experience! Waiter was Jack and he was very attentive but not intrusive. Kyle the manager was nice as well. Fish and chips had very tender fish with a crisp coating. Will definitely come back!

Found this gem through a friend’s recommendation, and boy is it a great find! Oysters that taste like they just swam from the ocean into our plate moments before serving! Perfectly cooked lobster, salmon pate served in perfect harmony with toasted bread and pickled accoutrements. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and delicious! Fantastic wine selection as well! One of the great highlights from our vacation! Our server Molly was just the best too! Bravo!! Thank you!
