    My friend from out of town got the lobster roll at market price, which was $50, but it was double the size roll than what you would expect and packed with lobster meat. As a local New Englander, even at $50 it was totally worth it for the size-- with no extra fillers like lettuce. I got the trout which was excellent and we both had a cup of clam chowder, which was top notch.

    Beautiful place for a date night & birthday dinner, especially by the windows. Service was great including hosts, our server, and additional waitstaff that dropped off items. The price just wasn’t worth the food. It was lukewarm when it arrived, seafood was a tad dried out & $17 popcorn chicken that came in a paper popcorn box you get at the movies with 1/3 filled with baby fried shrimp, the other 2/3 filled with popcorn. Yes, actual popcorn. Again, staff was great! But I wouldn’t necessarily go back for the food.

    Excellent food and drink and a great view. Highly recommend if you are in Boston. Close to downtown and accessible via the Silver Line. The lobster is very fresh and tasty.

    The Haddock and Cod were awesome. Daughter enjoyed her Macaroni and the whipped potatoes. The Boston Cream Pie was excellent and drinks were great. Very peaceful atmosphere at 5pm.
