The lobster rolls were cold with a hint of Mayo, as we like them, instead of dripping with butter. Very fresh and tasteful. Views were also wonderful. We feel the price was a bit high compared to other places.

All the ducks were very delicious. Milosh our server has waited a great job on our table. We went to another popular restaurant, but closed on Sunday at 2 pm. We all felt that we ended up with a better restaurant!

Not only the food delicious, but the host (owner? was so personal and helpful. Attitude is really everything. Back to dinner... I had a bowl of seafood knowers. Perfect! I recommend it about the Clam-Chowder, which I found clearly under spiced. The lobster roll is everything you want. BIG piece lobster with exactly the right amount of Mayo and wort. The Schellbrot was also delicious. Can't wait to return.

The lobster here, whether served whole, in a hearty salad, or as a gigantic lobster BLT, is undoubtedly the best in the area. The stunning view included at no additional charge enhances this dining experience even further. We highly recommend Oarweed.

The quality of service and food varies with each visit. At times, I've had to wait a long time for a table, while other visits saw me seated immediately. The main allure of this restaurant is the breathtaking waterfront view at Perkins Cove, which provides a stunning backdrop for your meal. If you're looking for a memorable experience, be sure to time your visit for sunset. The food can be inconsistent. I’ve tried various dishes, including the seafood chowder (4/5), shrimp cocktail (3.5/5), and crab dip (a perfect 6/5, though sadly removed from the menu because the owner is too stingy with crab - BRING BACK THE CRAB DIP!). The replacement, artichoke and spinach dip, was decent (3/5). Other items like the seafood trio (4/5), crab cakes (3.5/5), and blueberry beer (5/5) were enjoyable as well. Despite the fluctuating food quality, the gorgeous setting alone makes this place worth a visit.
