The atmosphere is somewhat unique, though it doesn't quite spark the imagination. Everything is served in plastic, which is a bit off-putting. The food and wine were quite good, and the restaurant is tucked away in a back location. The staff was friendly, and the seafood was fresh. View all feedback.

Couldn't be any better! No wait staff to tip; place your order; pay; get your drinks and when your number is called, enjoy some of the best seafood ever!

The seafood was quite disappointing, but the drinks and wings were fantastic. I went there twice and found the seafood to be consistently underwhelming.

The lobster roll was just alright. Normally, I prefer lighter butter, but this one barely had any butter at all, making it hard to taste. The fries were tasty a...
