| - We have come here twice now and will definitely be going back again. The first time, my husband and I ordered two cups of chowda' (deeelicious, the best in town) and The King to share (and still couldn't finish it all!)
Today we returned with our families to celebrate Mother's Day and were amazed by their superb quality of both food and service yet again. The five of us shared the shrimp cocktail and lobster mac 'n cheese to start. Oh my, those shrimps were huge! And the LM&C was generously portioned with healthy chunks of lobster throughout. We really couldn't stay out of it, it was so good.
We tried the Bloody Mary bar and were not disappointed there either. The "customization" options available were impressive. You have a choice between what kind of Mary mix to add (spicy or not), and then there was two different kinds of olives to choose from, sweet pickles, asparagus, and more! Lots of sauces were available to add in as well, not to mention the Mary started off with having a slab of bacon inside the cup. Yum. Honestly, it could have been a meal in itself.
Got the fish and chips and found the fish to be perfectly crisp on the outside, not overbreaded, very airy and light breading actually, and flavorful, tender fish inside. The tartar sauce was great, and the fries were served as a combination of shoestring and sweet potato fries. Loved the inventiveness of changing up a regular old side of fries. The slaw was fresh and included nuts and fruit.
My mother-in-law raved about her shrimp boil and my mom gt a Caesar salad and clam "chowda". The waiter tonight was great, very accommodating even when my.mom changed her entree choice about 10 minutes before the food came out. Also, since it was Mother's day, she and my mother in law were served complimentary mimosas. What a nice touch!
The prices are a little high, yes, but I have no problem when their quality is as high and consistent as it is. Expect to make a reservation on their busier nights (Friday/Saturday) become it gets packed and we found out he hard way last Friday. That's ok, this joint is worth everything and more, and I have a feeling Gilbert has a new fish restaurant (finally) that's here to stay.
