Best crab cakes in the northeast!!! Lump crab with great sauce. The New England style steamed clams and buttered lobster roll are also great. Crab stuffed lobster for a special occasion! Amazing views. Live music a lot of the time. Friendly staff - work off your meal with a stroll on the “boardwalk” looking at the gorgeous sailboats.

Could be so so so much better, the food was well seasoned and well presented but they were cheap on the proteins in the food for the price you pay. Ordered a lobster Mac and cheese priced at $36 and came in a very small plate and about 5 small chunks of lobster, also order a seafood pasta (said that it had scallops in the menu well mines was missing the scallops)that came with some great tasting 3 piece of shrimp 😑. My bill was a little over than $120 left $40 tip and the server was complaining about the tip to his co worker😂. The restaurant is located in a beautiful area and the drinks selections is good. Just gotta work on the food and the severs.
Will visit again see if it gets better.

Nice views. My food was okay. I ordered their crab shell pasta. It comes with shrimp, small pieces of lobster, 2-3 small pieces of scallops and supposedly crab meat but I didn’t see any crab meat in the pasta. The pasta was very greasy as well. The 3-rum punch I had was tasty. My partner ordered a medium well steak but it was cooked well done.

This is a great spot with a prime view of the marina. Food, however was average. I ordered lobster bisque and sautéed soft shell crab on a roll with sweet potato fries. The lobster bisque was lukewarm when it arrived at the table. It was too thick, though not gloppy. It didn’t have a lot of flavor. The soft shell crab was a decent size, but not for the price they charged ($18). There should have been 1.5 crabs at least or charge me $24 and give me two. I think that would have been fair. 1.5 of my stars go to the location and vibe of the surroundings.

Meh, what can I say about this place. It probably does well just because of location. They had a Miami Vice blended drink on the menu, but bartender was too lazy cause they only have one blender- which is odd cause I made them all the time as a bartender using just one blender. Then they didn't have the mojito that was on their (paper) menu. So really these could be removed. The food tasted good, but the presentation was boring and low skilled. The crab chowder didn't have any crab in it and no noticable potatoes. The lobster bisque was great. The Crab Shell dish was good. The broccoli was still super crunchy and had no seasoning or butter at all, just steamed and bland. The onion rings could have been fried longer . The served was great! Older Latino lady. It is fine for a tourist place because of location, but I would not go again if I lived there.

My family and I have been coming here since it first opened, oh gosh I believe in the early 2000's if not late late 90's, for many an occasion but more recently, it's our go to stop a must have, no matter the time of day, after we have gone to the city (New York, Long Island, even Jersey) and anyone in the family that didn't make the trip, always request to be brought back a lobster potpie, which are to die for!!! Everything I ever get taste great, no matter what it is!!! Lately,I've been stuck on the "Crab Shell", which is there name sake signature dish of a simple seafood pasta that is sssooo delectable They always have "specials of the day" with at least 4-6 options, the last 3 almost always being some sort of "fried" whatever(fish,shrimp, etc.). The staff is always ssssooo nice and very helpful. There's lots of outdoor seating as well as a cozy-ish seaside home feel on the interior. It's right on the water and right off the highway. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. I should mention it's more on the $$ side.

Fabulous waitress!!! My grouper franchise was fantastic!!! Very fresh and delicious. I also really enjoyed the fresh brewed iced tea which our lovely waitress happily refilled for us. Great experience. We are repeat customers and have been coming here for several years now.

It was a beautiful day. Waiter was very nice view and atmosphere were great! Ordered the seafood salad ($29) lettuce two clams three mussels and about three shrimp. New England clam chowder was great! Had the grouper franchise with shrimp and capers is how it was advertised! It arrived with two baby shrimp and one half of a baby shrimp. The shrimp were not even cleaned. When I asked the waiter him and the manager stated it was just a garnish! I ordered it because it stated with shrimp. Which led me to believe I would be getting shrimp. While the grouper was good it was not what was expected. The manager did not seem to care. The uncleared shrimp were not edible!
