Joe Taylor
With the understanding that this place is a chain restaurant, I thought the food was just okay. Most of it tasted as though it was purchased from a national company like Cisco, but not as fresh as local caught. My server was fantastic. I thought he was well spoken and got the order completely correct. As a group we ordered clam chowder lobster mac and cheese, a lobster roll and the bang bang cauliflower, as well as a dozen oysters. The oysters were okay, but not with the sweet aftertaste that was advertised. I would say the most disappointing item was the lobster mac and cheese. They serve it inside a lobster shell but it was very dry and the lobster was tough and chewy. They were a little heavy on the breadcrumbs.

Let me start by saying I Love the happy hour oysters and clams and other foods they serve … I was excited to hear they have sushi ! Lol don’t waste your time sushi is terrible! They say crispy rice and it’s not ! And the rice is not properly cooked !

Food was good. Ordered shrimp scampi, clam chowder, fish and chips, Buffalo shrimp flat bread, shrimp tacos, and Buffalo shrimp. Shrimps were a bit overcooked and fried cod bit dry. It was pretty busy so the kitchen could have been in a rush but overall experience and taste was good.

Awful food. New England clam chowder was more like porridge than soup. Beef taco was made of chunks rather than ground beef. No spices, no cheese, the worst tacos ever. Taco Bell tacos are much better. Tobasco sauce given on the side was diluted with water. Don’t waste your money at this place.

It never fails that eating here is a great experience. The staff was pleasant, the ambiance is classy and relaxing, the food was GREAT! So happy they brought back the Thai calamari. My seafood combo plate was well flavored and absolutely delicious. My fiancé also thoroughly enjoyed his seafood steak meal. We’ll definitely be back! Great way to wrap up a day of shopping 🙂

Was there for my anniversary but the food was not good at all and the service worst. I had a steak tuna and my wife had the crab cakes. The steak tuna tasted frozen the corn salad was too salty and the temperature of the tuna was not what I asked for. The crab cakes used to be really meaty here but the quality has gone down so much that is not worth eating in this place anymore. After they remodel the restaurant a few years ago this place is more a bar than a family restaurant. I don’t recommend this place at all the service is horrible my server never checked on us so I had to flag other servers and the manager to get a refill and get my bill. If you are at the mall go to the Cheesecake Factory or the Italian plaza much better value for your money, better quality food with better service.

Conveniently located inside the Short Hills mall. There is an outside door. Does have gluten free options, but are very limited. Mention to the waiter as some of the GF items were ambiguous. The staff was extremely kind and attentive! Food was delicious, though I did receive a different side that the one I ordered. Larger restaurant with plenty if seating, but you might was to call ahead. Would recommend as a nice semi casual option close to the mall.

Thoughtful Reviews
Beautiful and popular upscale seafood restaurant with their own outside mall entrance. Meals are flavorful and feature large portions with appetizing presentation. Staff members are cordial and accommodating and menu prices are appropriate. They also offer valet parking in the mall parking deck.
