The three stars are really just for the lobster bisque- had a bowl and it was so good, I should've just had a second bowl for my entree. Instead I had the pad thai- super disappointing. Literally tasted like an Annie Chung's bowl from the supermarket soup aisle. Only sweeter. The scallops and shrimp on top were not good, tasted of chlorine, not fresh. This place is really cute inside, and I love local places, but we were there for two hours at lunch time and my friend and I were the only customers in the entire place the entire time. This place has decent older reviews, I hope the chowder house can get it together- to the previous standards it seems to have had- in order to survive.
