    Appetizers and lite fare was good. Entrees were not good. Sent back my scallops. They smelled like ammonia, terrible. Halibut was overcooked and they didn't ask for temp on steak, it was cooked well done? I was disappointed with the food.

    What a fun and festive atmosphere. The Christmas themed pop-up was just the ticket for a fun night out and the trivia game kept things lively. The specialty cocktails were fun - there are at least 10 different options - we sampled 3 and all were great. The homemade mozzarella logs are delicious - and the added touch of serving them on a small sleigh, decorated was fun and festive. All entrees were delicious - we had the shrimp and grits, salmon special, and fried Korean chicken. The salmon was overcooked - but not horrible. The remainder of the dish was quite tasty. Highly recommend stopping in for the holidays.

    First time visiting, very festive. The steamer pot is great, as well as the blue crab soup. Tasty and generous drinks. Boisterous, don’t go for a quiet dinner, go to have fun and a beachy evening!

    Crab bloody Mary was/is truly a gift -- moderately priced wines; best cooked halibut we've had; skirt steak dish a little over salted and starched, but cooked correctly. For the off season Starboard Claw seems the happenin' place full of happy customers, young and old. We'll be back again and again! Oh, Tyler was a superb waiter!
