We came here for dinner and it definitely did not live up to its expectations. The food was subpar and the service was pretty terrible. Our waitress was quite rude and curt with us. We were seated and she took quite a while to come around. When she did get to us I had a couple questions about the menu but she responded in quite a haughty manner that did not make us feel welcome. The lobster was quite expensive, but not as good because it was over cooked. The food was b oysters instead of DiMillo's. <br><br>For a high end restaurant, the service was lacking. She was friendly with other tables, but extremely rude when it came to us. It was very unfortunate because we saw other wait staff being extremely attentive and welcoming with the patrons. I will probably not be returning here when I visit again with family because you are really just paying for ambience and good service, both of which we didn't get.

Read the reviews and went here last night 'cause I really wanted lobster. Lovely venue in an old ferry renovated into a very classy looking eatery. <br>I ordered the Lazy Lobster as the waiter said it would be a complete lobster without having to remove the shell.<br>My meal showed up in a shallow four inch dish with about 12 bite sized pieces of lobster and a very old baked potato. I would've complained but figured our surly waiter would probably spit in my new order. <br>I recommend going here for drinks and the harbor view but skip the food

Four of us stopped here while on a cruise and we couldn't get into the other places we had tried. Two people in our group ordered the meatball appetizer for a meal which was a giant meatball topped with red sauce and cheese. It tasted ok and they ate most of it. I had the lobster mac and cheese which was incredible and one of the best things I have ever eaten. The reason for the two stars is because of service. We sat in the bar area because we were told it'd be quicker and there was a 45 minute wait for the main part. We walked in and sat a table right away with at least 5 other empty tables. We were given water and menus by a manager (who dumped water on me with no apology or towel/napkins given) and told our server would be over soon. Fast forward to 25 minutes later after our server stopped by two different times and said she'd be back. Never asked for our drinks. She never refilled any of our waters even after asking multiple times through out the meal. She argued with us about a beer selection and told us she had never served coors light in a bottle and they didn't make that. She was rude to us the entire meal and never even told us they had daily specials (which two people in our group would have ordered). When we asked for a refill on beers she rolled her eyes and said it would be a while she had to go pick up our hot food first. I get that they were busy and probably short staffed but if you choose to work in a restaurant in a tourist town with cruise ships several times a week you need to learn to check your attitude at the door!
