   Food was tasty, service was good, a little close to other diners. I look forward to visiting again.

   Thank you LisaMarie for the 5 stars and the kind words. I'm sure you were seated inside in our Tavern dining room, which is intended to have the close-quarter feel. We have 2 other dining rooms -- one inside called the Commodore Room which was not open due to expected business on the day you were here, and the outdoor Patio, which while covered and heated was still not perfect for dining. If on your next visit you would like to try one of those other dining areas it may feel more spacious.

   The chowder which has a history of being the best was not what it use to be. I was disappointed.

   Hi, sorry to hear that. I wonder why it was different since we haven't changed the recipe. If you'd like to reach out at the restaurant I'd like to make it up to you. -Rob

   We're glad you had a good time Steve. If you feeling like calling the restaurant our managers would enjoy hearing your feedback on how we could have turned those 4 stars into 5.

   Amazing clam chowder!! Also, the lobster salad sandwich (pretty much a lobster roll on a croissant) was such a good value and flavor!! Highly recommend. We were seated in the annex which didn’t give it a tavern vibe but still amazing!! Service was slow to start, then on par.

   Loved the meal and service. Loud group was near us but not your fault, we would go back!

   Thank you Victoria for the 5 stars. We're glad you enjoyed your visit despite some noisy neighbors. Please let us know next time so we can thank those other people for having a good time but to maybe bring it down a notch so everyone can also have a good time.

   Can be noisy if seated by a large group. Food is good, dining area is a bit tight

    Really loud, but not surprising given the space. Our server was fine, but the expediter literally dropped the food at the other side of the table and left immediately. Forgot the side dish. Rather than any apology we were told he was new. The food was fine. An okay experience but would not likely return.
