| - My siblings and i go here often because it's close to the house and they have $1 oyster specials on Thursdays among other great daily specials. This review is an overview of all our visits.
Food
The oysters have always been good, whether they are smaller or plumper. This past time was slightly salty, I know it's salt water shell fish but, more so than normal and more like table salt vs. sea salt. The restaurant wasn't interested in doing much about it, so we did quick rinses with our water before squeezing the lemon juice on.
They are currently having $19.95 lobster dinners with 4 different choices on how to eat a 1 lb lobster. We tried the New Orleans style (with old bay seasoning), it was good lobster but the seasoning was slightly lacking. I tried my brother's naked lobster topped with mushroom, shrimp and scallop butter sauce (MUCH BETTER).
Their appetizers have been hit or miss sometimes, nachos was good and cheesy. The mussels were also pretty good, but size was a bit small. the calamari is sometimes crispy and delicious, sometimes chewy and soggy. Their chicken wings are pretty good for a seafood place.
Service
They have been consistently friendly and knowledgeable about their specials, food and drinks. With or without reservations, we've always managed to get seated pretty quickly anytime of the week. Sometimes it does take long to find our server, but not to the point of frustration.
Overall, I'd recommend them for their happy hour (after 9pm or from 4-6pm) food specials and daily drinks (Thursday is two pints of Guinness for $9) specials or for special family dinners. Remember to sit at the bar for their late night specials.
