    We always enjoy MV Chowder house but the fries and the calamari were way, way too salty. I wish I had sent them back. Next time I will know to mention that.

    Great clam chowder, should have listened to him and come back for the lobster roll. The other place around the corner was not as great.

    My fiance and I ordered a few appetizers for a late lunch/early dinner and I would definitely recommend the chimichurri steak skewers and the crab rangoons!

    Tried the lobster mac&cheese…definitely worth it. Lots of food on this plate and the amount of lobster was impressive. Sushi as always was on point, atmosphere and chatting with other diners makes this the Cheers of MV.

    Outstanding chowder. Good, casual setting and, especially for MV, very good value-for-money. Well-prepared cuisine. Service was attentive and friendly. Total adequate for the type of place it is, basically a gastropub.
