Mazda: 3 reasons to visit this great seafood joint: the lobster roll, the clam chowder, and the raw bar.
Andrew W: Great clam chowder, but don't call this "chowda." This is refined, elegant and light. Fried clams are perfect. Raw oysters are super fresh and flavorful. Try a variety.
Dana Villmore: Get the lobster roll hot with butter and the clam chowder. BEST thing I've ever eaten!!! It's like angels singing the hallelujah chorus in 4 part harmony in your mouth. :D
Ellie Rountree: Get the small lobster roll (good price!) and the clam chowder. Sprinkle with Old Bay. Be happy.
Jen A: Nothing fancy in terms of seating but the food is delicious. You have to try: the lobster roll, lobster Mac and cheese and the clam chowder
Evelyn Tio: By far the best lobster roll I've ever had. Stuffed with meat--this is the real deal. Sometimes they give free samples of clam chowder which is also delicious!
