🥣 Start with the Soup (But Maybe Choose Wisely)
We tried the New England Clam Chowder ($7.50). Not bad. Not great. More clams, please. Next time we’re testing the Natural Broth Clam Chowder — broth-based brilliance might await. 🥄
🍤 Fried & Fabulous
Fried Clam Strips ($25.95) – Golden, crunchy, and thoroughly satisfying.
French Fries + Cole Slaw – Made fresh. Devoured fast.
Onion Rings – A little greasy, a lot addictive. (We’re not complaining.) 🍟
🦞 The Lobster Roll: Warm, Buttered, & Beautiful
Our choice: the Hot Butter Sautéed Lobster Roll ($31.95) with fries.
💬 “Tender, juicy, and bursting with that briny magic only New England seems to get right.”
Prefer it cold? The Lobster Salad Roll is lightly dressed with celery and mayo — a breezy summer classic.
🌤️ Views, Vibes & Volume
The marshfront deck and boat bar bring serious coastal energy.
We opted to sit indoors due to muggy weather, but the view’s still lovely from anywhere.
👨🍳 Service: Kind, patient, and unfussy.
🍽️ Portions: Big. Generous. Basically... shareable. (But why would you?)
⏭️ What to Order Next Time
💪 Charbroiled seafood (if we’re feeling responsible)
🦪 Raw oysters and clams on the half-shell
🍨 Dessert (still TBD... we keep forgetting to leave room)
