Ravini NagahawattaJune 26, 2014Had the clam chowder, cioppino and choc cake with gelato and all 3 of them were amazing with 5/5 stars for the clam chowder. Don't try their iced tea though. Big disappointment there.
MarissaAugust 19, 2013Food is awesome. You must sit at the bar for the happy hour specials and if you're traveling let them know so they can hurry the food along. Also, they may be out of some things late on Sunday night.
Ranu RajkarnikarJanuary 25, 2015Great happy hour! $5 cocktails and beer/wine specials. Sit outside. Get the sushi roll and tater tots to share as a HH snack.
Faith WalkerJune 18, 2012We had an over all great dining experience. The Lobster Roll was EXCELLENT! I loved the fries made in truffle oil. The service was OUTSTANDING. It was almost like we were in a private room.
Serena MarianiAugust 24, 2013We arrived looking for a recommended place (by Lonely Planet) which wasn't there and ended up here - did not regret it! Good food, great great service and no pretentiousness. Sea bass and tuna = win
CoronaJanuary 28, 2015The happy hour menu here is awesome! The drinks are great and the food is really tasty. Get the beef slider or two. They're 'da bomb'.
Andrew LaymanDecember 23, 2013Steamed clams are good. Truffle fries, grilled trout, and cioppino were good too. Will definitely come back.
Kelly Park-LeeNovember 19, 2013Their clam chowder is the best I've ever had! Food & service was amazing! Can't wait to go back!
Best Margaritas: fresh lime juice, not the nasty mix stuff. At happy hour they are $4!! Come here all the time with my mustached cowboy James
Nun AddictJune 26, 2015Great friendly staff, especially Andy, who gave us a great recommendation for a vegan/veggie place.
Jason WaltersMarch 20, 2012THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME!!! You must try the Beer Steamed Mussels and the Cedar Plank Salmon. This Salmon was the best Iv'e EVER had!!!!!

thib FishAugust 31, 2013Ordered truffle fries, got regular fries. When asked to get what we wanted, got a 'kit' to turn our fries into truffle fries. Very slow service, and foursquare special only for the table not pr person
Happy hour mouthful for today - Stilton and truffle honey grilled cheese mmmmmm!
- Cioppino is awesome, loved the sea bass, and spicy coyote.
Alexandra Williams, MAApril 7, 2013Sorry to report we had terrible service. They told us where to sit, then forgot us. When we were served, we eventually went and got our own silverware. Too bad; the food was good.
