- MMaryNashville •22 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe saw this place advertised on Instagram and made a reservation for Valentine's Day for four of us. I wasn't sure from the photos, but it is sit-down, and they have booths. The service was excellent. The food is like seafood comfort food--heavy on the lobster mac and cheese, fish and chips, seafood alfredo type of thing as opposed to the King's Fish House type of fare. Their octopus appetizer was excellently prepared. Quite tender. The lobster deviled eggs were good as were the calamari fries. If you like lighter food, they have oysters, poke, and cioppino. They also offer sides of sauteed vegetables. Two at our table ordered the tempura fish and chips. I prefer a little less batter, but and my husband liked it. We did not get their signature lobster roll as it looked bready and a little greasy (melted butter) but everyone around us ordered them. I might try one next time.More infoHook & AnchorPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.4
