The food was delicious. Lobster roll was market value, $36 that day for a hot dog sized roll with a side of chips. It was very good though. The Southampton Pizza was very flavorful, as was the New England clam chowder. Best chowder next to what we’ve had in Boston. It’s a little loud in the restaurant. But not obnoxious. The majority of the Christmas decorations (if you’re coming to see those because you saw it on social media) are on the rooftop level. The rest of the restaurant is regular ambiance. Very friendly service. I would go back.

We had an amazing experience for our friendaversary! Zach (unsure of spelling) was a fantastic server and the staff was so accommodating with my special request to surprise my friend with a dessert for us to share. They even tossed in some champagne! It was my first time there but it certainly won’t be the last.
