Gustaf Svensson: Do not get the clam chowder or the lobster bisque! Sent the lobster bique back and got a watery clam chowder! Mussels were bad, good FF. I eat at ed's or pearl instead.
Elisa K: Try the half dozen oysters with wine $8 special and the lobster feast. Skip the clam chowder.
Mark Gracia: Oyster special is money, clam chowder sucks. Need to go to the cape/ islands for the real deal...
