    Great dinner at the bar for NYE! Bartender/server was excellent and the cocktails we perfect. Oyster Rockefeller was very good and the scallop and scrod casserole we both ordered was fresh and tasty.

    I ordered baked scrod with roasted potatoes - the fish was delicious, however, the potatoes were hard as a rock. My boyfriend ordered clam chowder with tips (med) & shrimp - he said the clam chowder was the best he ever had, but the tips were well done and dry. The service was ok, we had to wait about 20 min to be seated with. Reservation & then wait about another 20 min to order our food.
