My brunch was awful. The potatoes and mushrooms were so over cooked and dry and COLD. I received 2 tiny tiny pieces of back bacon - the prices are outlandish for the quantity and quality of the food. I have been several times hoping for a better outcome. The drinks are very expensive and I once had the seafood chowder and it was truly just potato soup - no seafood in there and when I expressed this the answer was totally unsatisfactory. With summer and tourists coming back - the location is wonderful but the food is not worth the time or money spent. So do yourself a favour and go to other much better restaurants.

The Caesars come with an oyster! We really enjoyed our brunch. Definitely will be a regular weekend place.

Awesome location and decent food. Great view and simple menu. Happy hour 2-5 with oysters $2.5 each. A worthwhile try

Got some oysters a beer and fries on a beautiful sunny Sunday in the West End. Our server was doing double duty and clearly communicated expectations as they were short staffed. That being said drinks were out in fiver or fewer minutes, food under ten min tutes. Juicy oysters, great ambiance, phenomenal view. Server also had excellent manners which is very much appreciated. Will certainly be back.

Lovely atmosphere, fun restaurant, good service. I had the lobster roll. My wife had the clams. Both dishes were tasty.

Enjoyed this cute spot with my dad. Although service was a little slow, the server’s enthusiasm and energy was very pleasant.We ordered some fried calamari (see picture) as an appetizer, with a beer for him and a cider for me.Would definitely return !

hella oysters (I don't eat them but heard they were amazing) and the ling cod was so juicy! I loved the fried smelt too, with some lemon and that sauce? So good!! Thank you for your hospitality, Papi's!

Surprisingly good place with ocean breeze. Amazing staff members and who actually enjoy working in the bar. It’s a good lively place!!I had oysters Kilpatrick and calamari. tzatziki sauce that came with calamari was amazing…

Awful $24 per person sea food boil for a tablespoon of mushy lobster, tablespoon of rock fish no taste, 24 mussels ok,12 clams ok, tablespoon of sausage and 4 shrimp size of teaspoon. No bread offered. Bill $85.00. Mgr assured me my wife and I would have lots to eat. Cooks seemed to be fighting with serving employees. Checked this place out day in advance and Mgr said this restaurant owned by billion dollar owner and meal would be fantastic. Hmmm the bowl was a small sized soup bowl for $48.00 for 2 people.. This might have been waitresses first time but Mgr on duty did nothing to correct !!! Will let my colleges know to stay away, do not need to embaress clients with this. No presentation at all!!!

Really enjoyed the oysters and main courses we ordered. Our server made some great recommendations on what to order. The fried smelts were a first for my husband and he loved them! Lovely location. The patio offers some great people watching opportunities.
