My dad’s 89th birthday. We love going there for the oysters and little necks. The chef made a special clams Casino that was not on the menu for my dad and it was outstanding. My mom dad and myself got fillet of Sole and some of the best I ever had. It reminded me of fishing flounder and then cooking it immediately from years ago off Massachusetts beaches. All in all we love legal seafood and I’ve been going there all of my life. We will certainly be back thanks for a wonderful time and make my dad‘s birthday special.

I ordered one of the Valentine special drinks. It was supposed to come with a chocolate dipped strawberry but when it arrived I was told they were out of strawberrys. I wasn't offered a replacement. Also, with the entree order, the topper I ordered was also unavailable - I was offered to choose another topper, which I did. The food itself was excellent. The drink was ok but would have chosen another if given the choice. It wasn't that the place was busy - there were at most 3 other customers at the time - noon to one - I was there.

The food was ok, drinks not so much. The server we had was the highlight of our experience. In terms of ambience, it’s not as cozy or warm as some of the other locations. Table placements seem off as we kept catching a cold drift each time the door opened. They could definitely benefit from more booth seating and maybe even table cloths
