We've been twice during the "soft opening" and have mixed reviews. I ordered Ceviche and was told the Ceviche maker had the day off. I ordered the New England Fried Whole Belly Clams and they came out pretty crispy. Those of us old enough to remember Ho-Jo's fried clams will be disappointed in both the portion size and consistency. The clams were so well done that most of the flavor was gone. The Oyster Po-Boy was served on a 6" baguette cut in half instead of a hoagie bun. The oyster layer was carefully organized so as to be only one oyster thick and the slaw layer was over-dressed making for a pretty sloppy sandwich, nothing like the po-boys you see from New Orleans. The Lobster Roll comes on two split-top hot dog buns, but only enough lobster for one bun. At $19 it is a couple bucks more than the huge rolls in New England for $17. The lobster bisque is to die for but served in a large flat-ish bowl. This allows the bisque to cool too rapidly.
As I see it, portion control is the biggest problem. The fried clams need to be cooked at a lower temp so as not to dry them out.
