    Appetizers were really flavor full. Cocktails need some work. Entrees leave a lot to be desired. Food was dry. A basic hamburger should still have some flavor. Meatloaf was u recognizable as meatloaf and very dry as well. Ambience was nice and staff really very friendly and helpful. Given that there are so many options in close proximity they will need to up their flavor game to compete.

    I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.
