    The prices are a little high, but we'll worth it. The food was flavorful. Try the lobster bisque... It's 9 bucks, but tastes amazing!

    The Anchor Bar is a fun little spot any time if day.A little crowded on fri&sat nights but still fun.The bartenders are super friendly & its a great spot for day drinking & football. Great drinks.

    Simply great, try the grilled sea scallops, they melt in your mouth, best grilled scallops I've ever had. Very reasonably priced compared to some of the other overrated seafood places in Oldtown.

    Spiced shrimp is the way to go, you'll be hooked and the mozzarella sticks are the best I've ever had. Bartenders here are awesome too.

    I really liked how I didn't have to wait long to order, even when the place got crowded. The waiter was very proactive & gave good advice, and the margaritas and steamed oysters were great.

    The crabette mini crab cakes appetizer are really good! Outdoor seating available, seating limited overall. Seafood pasta w/ fish will make you wanna slap the chef! Delish!

    The Seafood stew was as good as I remember. Going to a memorial service so had a Bloody Mary which I don't recommend. Husband had house beer and it was icy cold and delicious!

    The pasta is very creamy and has a good portion of lobster at a reasonable cost.

    Lobster was very fresh, the clam linguine out of sight!! Dinner for four for under 120 with a 2lb lobster, drinks, kids meal = amaze balls.

    Fresh oysters, spiced shrimp, chowder and good beer selection. What the Fish Market has done well for decades. When in doubt keep it simple.

    Fish and chips was solid, especially with the 32oz beer to go with it. Restaurant is pretty loud.

    The staff, owners, management and clientele are great. They know how to cook tomato sauce. The calamari and the cacciucco are excellent choices.

    Never have liked shrimp but their fried butterflied shrimp converted me - I ate most of my family member's meal.

    The tequila oyster shooter sounds delicious, nut it should be white tequila and it should be chilled

    Bobby M apparently is illiterate, since he can't read the categories. He's obviously the one in the trailer park. Stay on the other side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
