   We didn't have a good experience. Started with the Hamachi Crudo, so bland it could have been any kind of fish. I felt the lump crab was too much mayonaise, but my wife thought it was ok. Just came as a pile of crab meat, nothing to put it on, no crackers or bread. Our server did bring some bread when asked. My wife order the Artic Char. Asked the server to make sure it was undercooked. Server explained that was the technique and assured her it would be so. Unfortunatley it was over cooked to the point that even the server saw it was very dry and over done. She offered another piece, but at that point in the meal my wife declined. They did comp the meal. I had the fried clams. The clams were all batter and no clam. Even the bellies were hard to find. Maybe they were miniature clams, something out of the restaurants control, but they were so lacking in substance I didn't even finish them. Resting on a massive bed of french fries ala Sysco foods. All in all not a good experience.

   Oysters were delicious. Really delightful greens with the steak frites, and very crispy/salty frites.

   The wait staff was inconsistent; at first very attentive and then seemingly they lost interest and we had trouble getting their attention. The food was very fresh and tasty though.

   While the food was good, you could’ve gotten the same thing anywhere else. The prices were outrageous, and the servers added their tip without our knowledge beforehand.

   Food is great and the service excellent. It’s pretty noisy. If they turned down the music people would’ve feel the need to shout over it. First time we’ve eaten inside. Because of the noise I like outside better even though the space is well laid out.

   We had the oysters (had to try them all and they were fantastic!) the blue fish dip (my personal favorite) the clam chowder and a warm lobster roll. Everything was exceptional and can’t recommend this place enough!

    Great food but was squeezed into a table in the corner outside the front door so everyone coming in and out bumped us or our table
