Great service - thanks Adam. Red Lobster has better food. The Mac and Cheese was swimming in grease. My medium steak came out medium well and bone dry. The fried lobster was surprisingly good. An over priced tourist trap.

We were really looking forward to a great seafood dinner here, but were pretty disappointed. The clam chowder and the whole lobster were pretty tasty, but everything else was either so-so or outright horrible. Our waiter clearly thought he was going to get better tips from the customers on the "VIP top deck", because he was rarely at our table. When I showed him how sandy and gritty my steamers were, he said, "Yuk, I have never liked those!" - I'm not kidding, those were his exact words. No offer to exchange them for something else or a partial refund on my $40 meal. My advice is to steer clear of this restaurant unless all you want is clam chowder and a whole lobster (and bad service).

This is clearly a place that caters to an older crowd looking to have some of the classic dishes. <br><br>The menu isn't very appealing and the quality does not warrant the price. <br><br>The venue is unique being that you are on a boat but it feels no different than a regular restaurant by the ocean. <br><br>The staff is very friendly and the service is quick.

This place has character and charm and it's on the water. It is quite romantic and absolutely on the water. The staff was friendly. The lobsters were a bit overdone.

Went for dinner. Wanted to sit upstairs on the bow so we waited over an hour for a seat there. We were told we were the next party to be seated when we got our buzzer, but if that was the case then most of the parties must have just been seated. I will say that because we waited so long, our waitress told us while taking our plates that dessert was on them. A very nice gesture that we took. <br><br>Ordered calamari - decent, but not much for $10. Enough for maybe 3 bites for each of us. (4 people.)<br><br>Crab cakes $10- very good. Lots of crab and cooked perfectly. <br><br>Fisherman's platter $28- waste of money. 3 scallops, baby salad shrimp, few fries and a few onion rings. Lots of clams, good size piece of haddock. I've had much better at many other restaurants. I always expect large shrimp and more scallops. There should be a pretty even amount of clams, scallops and shrimp. This was not the case. The batter wasn't crisp, quite mushy. The onion rings looked like they had cornmeal batter on them. They tasted fine, but most of the batter was missing.<br><br>I wouldn't recommend this place. I heard it was touristy, but we thought it would be nice to sit on the boat upstairs overlooking the bay. It was, but that just meant service was slow. Our waitress was great. <br><br>The 2 stars is for the poor food.
