Not a huge seafood person but had the shrimp tacos off the lunch special menu. Good flavor but shrimp was a little too large for the taco. Traded with a lunch mate for a lamb birria taco. More flavor and toppings fit into the taco. Great service and great atmosphere

There's a bar area so you can hang with friends or you can sit and relax in the restaurant section. They let the food be the star of the show. We had the crab cakes and the Rhode Island lobster roll. The key lime pie was also savory.

It's fine dining if your idea of good is Applebees or Red Lobster OR you are feeding picky young children OR you're one of the neighborhood's young professional bros who thinks a wasteful pile of lobster is a super impressive date that negates the need to listen to your date so you can talk endlessly about yourself. It's overpriced for the food quality (which is fair, not excellent), but in line for location. The staff are generally quite good and deserve every penny of the tip and then some. The patio is pretty decent for the Warehouse district. So there is that.

There are two big rooms and a big bar area. The food was delicious! The standout was the lobster guacamole. It was creamy, had light salt, and big chunks of avocado. Our waiter generously gave us a second round of chips. I had the Connecticut lobster roll, which was warm and delicious. Our server was very helpful and even helped box up the lunch of one of our party who had to dash unexpectedly. I'd recommend stopping in for lunch when it's busy but still has plenty of room.
