Chowder House Cafe

Description

Chowder House elevates classic seafood with chef-driven dishes—from clam chowder and lobster bisque to scallop risotto, lobster roll and standout halibut—served in a quaint, well-designed space where attentive servers make the experience. Expect nightly specials, raw oysters, and memorable desserts, but arrive early or reserve: seating is limited and the place gets busy. Prices lean higher, beer selection is limited, and there are mixed notes about payment (cash/check or card fees). Overall, a must-visit for seafood lovers and special occasions.

My visit to the restaurant was an incredible experience, and the food was even better. The waitstaff truly went above and beyond!

Great food, nice atmosphere. Make a reservation. It was packed when I got there, and was fortunate to get a seat at the bar. Google had the prices listed as 2 ' ' but I 'd say more like 3. Will definitely go back.

Excellent seafood. My mom is French and the Coquille Saint Jacques was as good as she remembered from southern France. Claire was an excellent server. The blueberry cobbler left room for improvement. Highly recommend the restaurant and seafood.

Excellent food and service! I ordered crab-stuffed shrimp, which was served with mashed potatoes and vegetables, specifically zucchini and squash. When I inquired about other vegetable options, I was informed that asparagus was available for a $4 extra charge. I found the limited choices for sides disappointing, which is why I deducted one star. Nevertheless, the food was still fantastic. My dad ordered the apple pie, but it wasn't very impressive. The ice cream, on the other hand, was delicious (when isn't it?).

I had my first meal at Chowder House and was truly impressed. I ordered the crab-stuffed shrimp scampi and the clam chowder, both of which were excellent. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, assisting us with food recommendations and convincing us to try the dessert—the salted caramel cheesecake—which I definitely do not regret. I can't wait to go back!
