If other reviews of long wait times have put you off, go a little later. When my husband and I were seated around 7pm, many tables started opening up and there was no wait behind us. That said, the food was every bit worth the wait. I had a daily special of swordfish and I’m hoping they have it next time we go. Everything was perfectly cooked. It’s not fancy, but clean and comfortable. Obviously, it’s popular for a reason. The staff may have been overwhelmed at moments with the flood of take out orders, but they were patient and helpful throughout.

What a gem in Wellesley. 1.5lb lobster for $23! Staffs were super nice. Foods were delicious. It got crowded past 7pm and parking was full. I really liked my shrimp linguini – the shrimps were sautéed to perfection. Will try fried items next time so stay tuned for my updated review!

Tried the fresh lobster both steamed and stuffed. The clam chowder and seafood chowder tasted great. Service was great and prices were reasonable. Definitely this is one of the best seafood restaurants outside Boston.

Place is poorly run and managed. Was told the wait for two was thirty minutes. Waited an hour and ten to be seated before we finally left. What I observed while waiting….preferential treatment given to locals/regulars who get bumped up the list with zero regard for others who have been waiting. The teenager managing the line was distracted and completely incompetent. Counter staff seemed miserable. Lots of staff standing around doing nothing. Bussers took 20 minutes to bus a single table all the while the line is out the door. Wish I had the opportunity to rate the food but won’t be back to give it another chance.

Good food, more than just fried fish options, yummy cornbread served warm when you are seated, excellent service, bright, nautical atmosphere, perfect portion size, good value.

Food is great but the service is lacking. The staff was clearly “phoning it in” last night. The place was busy but the staff wasn’t. No hustle, no sense of urgency, no hospitality mindset. We waited for our takeout and it took much longer (like 20 min longer) than they told us it would. Despite asking a couple of times about the status, we didn’t get a new estimate or a “things are busy tonight”, or a “sorry it’s taking a while” – we just got a “not ready”.

Got 2 lobster rolls for $29 each. It was the smallest lobster roll I have ever seen, much shorter than a hotdog roll. The fries were slightly warm room temperature room. Some of the lobster was very slimy?? The rest did not taste like lobster at all.

I have to write a review on this restaurant we visited tonight with great expectations for a seafood experience. My wife wanted fried shrimp so she found this seafood restaurant in Wellesley that had great reviews and I had hope because they have their own market, similar to Fishermen’s View on the cape, which is par none outside of Lousiana seafood, though Boston Sail Loft is also likewise excellent.

Oyster roll was fantastic! Fries were amazing! Onion rings were great! and a small is big enough to feed an entire family! The store’s case looked awesome and fresh. Definitely returning soon.
