My sister and I got the best of both worlds when we ordered fish and chips and clam chowder. We asked for a second bowl to come with our clam chowder, and instead the waitress came out with both the clam chowder and the fish and chips in half-sizes for both of us! Our waitress was super friendly and the food was delicious

Ordered for take out. The service was excellent; attentive and fast. The bartender was incredibly polite and engaging. The New England Clam Chowder was worth the search.

The lobster blt was amazing. One of the better lobster rolls I’ve had on a bun with bacon and tomato? Yes please. The lobster bites were good and the fish and chips was flavorful when we were here. The price was pretty average for the area, low 20s for the rolls, 44 for full dinner, high 20s lobster Mac. Etc. Better than a lot of the other places we visited in the area and the staff was v friendly and accommodating

Wonderful lobster rolls. You can get them naked or Maine style. Good selection of craft beer. Locally baked blueberry pie and great service. Outdoor seating is available.

Stopped in here today with friends. Very comfortable place. We all had lobster rolls and they were delicious! Stuffed full of lobster- light on the mayo- so good! The bartender and server were very personable and helpful with or choices. Service was great! I’ll definitely being going back there soon!

I had my second lobster roll today and this one beat out the first as its warm ( wished it was slightly warmer) but because the roll was so soft which made the brown butter lobster roll so good. 🙂

Great spot for sea food in Old Port! It’s definitely a few steps above the tourist joints on the harbor road. The wait staff were friendly and had great suggestions of starting with the lobster bites and clam chowder. The fried batter on the lobster bites and the fish and chips we had was excellent and light. I enjoyed my beet salad, all elements were fresh and well balanced. They just added the lobster BLT to the menu and I was lucky to taste a bite, so good! Overall one of the better restaurants we dined at on our trip through Maine.
