Great restaurant, great food. I went during restaurant week, I had Fish Chowder, Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese, Sauteed Shrimp Fra Diavolo and Carrot Cake for dessert. Portion size is great I barely got through my entrée before I was full and had to wrap it and my dessert to go. The chef is amazing each dish were equally great. The restaurant is small so make a reservation especially during these times of COVID. Make sure to take your COVID vaccination card and ID because they do check before entry otherwise outside seating is available. The restaurant and bathroom were both very clean. Staff was friendly and professional. This was my second or third time here and I would go back.

We were here three or four years ago and though unglamorous in looks, the seafood was pretty good, so on a cold night when we were starving and didn't want to walk too far, I felt this would suffice. Once we were seated at our wobbly, smeary little table, I saw to my chagrin that it was tawdry pre-fixe menu, I wanted to take my family and bolt, but our water was served and the owner was standing around in this small space and we were trapped. As an "amuse-bouche" we were served filmy hummus likely from Trader Joe's with crumbling chips. Secondly we had a salad, which was small, but thankfully good, because this was the only fish any of us could eat. Unfortunately , my son had a chowder that tasted like Campbell's. Next came our main dishes, two of them sea bass that had been frozen, thawed, breaded and fried and placed atop canned vegetables. One of my sons had the rubbery steak, which tasted like it had been sitting in water, probably to defrost it, so that it had no taste at all. My husband had a mushy salmon on overdone noodles soaked in a bath of soy sauce. The desserts were a joke. They didn't even bother to take them out of their supermarket foil tins to try and trick us. The runny key lime pie was hilarious. I'll post a photo of that doozy. Obviously the owners know about the supermarket origins of the food, and the staff are complicit, too. It's a tiny place, and every one in the wings knows that no food here is freshly made. We all felt as if we'd been had. I'd had the foresight to order a $20 bottle of warmish plonk straight after I saw the food, so that when we left $250 poorer, I was numb to the pain.

really good seafood. I will definitely be back there real soon

Went here for a birthday with a group of my friends and we each had really good dishes. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. I like the decor of the place but I kinda don't like the people that come in which is not the restaurants fault. We even shared the ice cream cake with the waiter! Place could be better in terms of seating but I booked a reservation for restaurant week and I'm excited to review the place again.

As a result of it being restaurant week, only a very limited menu was available. The salad I started off with was good, but I've had as good in many a cafeteria. As for the main course, the sea bass, it was terrible- it sat in a bean stew from a can, and the breading on the fish, something which wasn't mentioned on the menu mind you, was terrible. But dessert was the show stopper. We weren't even going to order dessert, but we had to because it was part of the full course which you're forced to take part in at this time of year. Anyways, the key lime pie was just one of those little, frozen ones that comes in a tin that you get from Trader Joe's. Thing is, it had not been thawed properly, as it was just a soup, like a pudding.I didn't really want her to, but my mom felt the need to say something to the waitress about this, and while both women handled it very maturely in my opinion, not a few minutes later, upon our departure, did the waitress begin speaking to us in a very rude voice while we were paying.Heed my warning, folk: never, ever go to this restaurant

The food was excellent, we couldn't figure out why it was so empty when every other place we tried to get reservations was booked till after 9:00 pm. The food was really good and the service was friendly and excellent.

this is a sad excuse of a seafood restaurant. their restaurant week options are a joke. I ordered the tenderloin with shrimp and was given one small piece of steak with two small shrimps. I paid $40 for a small bowl of clam chowder, a tiny steak and 2 shrimp, and two bites of chocolate mousse for dessert. also, we were given no steak knives for our steaks...? I don't even want to give this establishment 1 star. also, the food made me very ill after we left, and I was hungry 30 minutes after leaving. save your money and go somewhere nicer.

Great food. Great staff. Decor is awesome.

Great service, great prices, great food! Really enjoyed the shrimp cobb salad and blackened blue fish.
