The food is so delicious and well made, very nice and friendly staff . Back deck on the river with a very nice view
The Seafood chowder is to die for, if you come here you have to try it. The Seafood was good, but when they said fried, I did not expect a batter. However it was still good. Service was great!!
You must get on their waiting list in person. But they will text you with a link where you can check on your status in the waiting list.
Absolutely loved the seafood chowder and lobster roll . Phenomenal.
Tall Ships plate , of course the Seafood Chowder . Lobster BLT , the salmon and haddock sandwich !
Crab cakes were to die for. Best I've ever had for sure. Delicious ????
Awesome views . Definitely ask to sit outside if you have the option. Seafood chowder is outstanding.
Get the lobster roll . One of the best I have ever had. They stuff it full of lobster with very little mayonnaise ...Perfect.
The The Tall Ships Plate was great. I substituted a salad for the fries . The chowder and lobster roll were both great.
Great food and of course the views are outstanding!
The seafood chowder is life changing! Try the whole belly clams too, they're local and fresh everyday! Best view in town !
The sea chowder was great and the Haddock was delicious. Cecelia was friendly and provided great service.
Great views ! The chowder is top notch and I've never been disappointed with my meal.
Try the seafood chowder , is the best around the world, literally, they have awards because of it
In the summer they have an outdoor sitting area with great views of the river and bridge .
Start off with the chowder and get the Scallop Casserole for your meal. Orgasmic.
Definitely get the tall ship special and upsize from a cup to a bowl of their incredible chowder for $3 more. It truly is amazing.
Cool that they have GF options ; not bad. Had calamari , it's was pretty good, not amazing. And a GF burger which was underwhelming. Came here because it was rated 9.0 but was more like a 6.5/7
Try the seafood chowder and the baked stuffed haddock ????
Stella Artois and PBR ($2.50) on tap . There is also an upper deck accessible through the restaurant inside.
Great view of the river and harbor . Good food. Alert staff .
Try the New England Clam Chowder - #Creamy #Delicious #Award Winning
Lobster roll is spot on.
The seafood chowder is phenomenal and the view is pretty cool!
Downstairs dock has the better views . Crispy haddock sandwich and classic clam chowder !
They text when your table is ready and you can check a website for updated wait list
Great seafood chowder and lots of gluten free options !
Great gluten free options
The lobster mac and cheese was delicious.
Get a seat on the deck and enjoy the spectacular harbor views .
Upstairs table at French door window is the best; enjoyed the black bean veggie burger .
Pricy & the "raw sushi grade" tuna was grey/old. Burgers : huge but seemed mechanically formed, not handmade . Pretty good beer select . Good view . Go for drinks. Waitress was good. But, Skip it.
Great selection of Gluten-Free Beer ! Green's Discovery Amber is my favorite.
The lobster roll and seafood chowder we're great.
Poor service however large plates of food at reasonable prices. Try the chicken tenders with the garlic sauce . Yum!
Corrine is an awesome bartender . So friendly and just try to stump her.
Definitely going for the Small Ship plate- lobsta roll & seafood chowdah!
Lobster roll with a view ????
Seafood chowder is super tasty
Outstanding service and great place. BTW, lots of outlets under the windows in the event space upstairs. #Ports4sqday for the win.
Seafood chowder is excellent
Try the coffee cake and sit at the bar downstairs for a nice view
Many gluten free options !
Best seafood chowder and lobster roll .
Sweet Potato Fries are great - make sure you get the side of sauce.
All the reviews rave about the food, Crab cake was bland, no flavor. Lobster roll BLT in mayo , lobster was fresh and good but again no flavor, bland nothing to rave about. So disappointed
Great food & view
Get the chowder...so good. That pecan pie is no joke either.

Try the "Tall Ship" lobster roll !
Outstanding service, and what amazing views! Nice variety of foods to choose from - I especially like that it's not all seafood. - Ann Cummings
Outside on the deck for lunch is just about perfect. The oysters and muscles are delicious! - Benjamin ????
