    Perfect place for a rainy day and you need to be around the station. Good appetizers ( I got the octopus and coconut rice and the sea scallops appetizers and a chowder as of main) good portion and very tasty meals. It was a little bit noisy because of the big groups but perfect place to be stuck in.

    Service was Excellent. Fried clams were overcooked and dark brown crispy critters ! Tartar sauce was horrible! Tasted like watery cheap mayonnaise!! Coleslaw was delicious but too much liquid (had to drain it!! Oysters were delicious … even though they serve without a tiny oyster fork! Then when I asked it took 10 minutes for them to find one. Which I thought was odd being an oyster restaurant. The table next to me said they never were given tiny forks just big dinner forks for the oysters.¿¿¿
