Fresh Seafood and Great Service Worth the Wait
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best cioppino and garlic bread I’ve ever tasted. Everything we ordered, including the oysters, mussels, and panzanella, was incredibly fresh and delicious.
The service was great, and I would definitely come back. The only downside is that they don't take reservations, so you might have to wait for a table, but it was worth the wait.

Delicious Food, Worth the Wait!
I heard about this place through word of mouth, and it's all true! Come hungry because the portions are nice sized. The presentations are great, and the flavors are fresh & clean.
Get there early, as the seating is very limited and the waitlist can be long, but it's well worth the wait. I had the Boston clam chowder, a 1/2 order of the Anchor Special, and the smaller portion of their Cioppino, which is big enough to share!

Excellent Seafood and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. I really love the parklick for this restaurant; it is comfortable and cozy. The food is truly excellent seafood.
The waiter did a great job of letting us know what the dishes were and sold them with mouth-watering descriptions, especially for the specials. The night we went, the corn chowder was a standout, and its description instantly sold me. The oysters were lovely, and the crab was delicious.
The food was truly outstanding.

Outstanding Oysters and Salad!
My experience was truly outstanding, exceeding my expectations! I was particularly impressed with the raw oysters; they were so fresh, yummy, juicy, and meaty – wow! My favorites were the "summer love" combination salad with thousand island dressing, which was just to die for.
The salad was the perfect size, filling, fresh, and had a good amount of fish. I'll definitely be back expeditiously!

Spectacular Food and Service!
If I could give a million, I would. The spot is cute and quaint, the food is spectacular, and the service is top-notch! I ordered an oyster shooter, house salad, clam chowder, and half size of the Wild Bluenose Sea Bass Puttanesca Pasta 🤌🏽🤌🏽.

Spectacular Oysters and Cioppino!
What a spectacularly good place for those of us who love oysters and seafood. The cioppino was a delicious dish! We were very well attended to, accompanied by a good Pinot Grigio.
