We visited the first weekend of August. I debated on how I wanted to rate this review because it has such high ratings typically. This restaurant was recommended to us so we looked it up on Yelp, of course ;) and decided to make a reservation because it looked great and had good reviews. Upon arrival, the hostess was awesome, super outgoing, as we told her we had a reservation, but we seen a couple spots at the bar and we would rather sit there so she was like no no problem. Also, when walking into the restaurant, vibe of the place is upbeat yet chill & and open atmosphere. We were pretty happy with that. The bar was full, but there were two spots like I previously mentioned so we grabbed them as that's what we usually prefer but cannot make reservations for.
Unfortunately it goes downhill from here. The bartender just slaps some menus down in front of us and walks. Ok, no problem. First time here so we just browse the menu. He dropped some water off and continues just to walk on by so we just sit there and wait a little bit more, watch the tv, talk, etc...lol Then he comes back and takes a drink order finally. After that, we had to wait quite a bit longer to get an appetizer in which we ordered the hush puppies, unfortunately I did not get a picture of that. They were pretty bland.
We ordered our meal next and my husband ordered the peel & eat shrimp and I ordered the warm (buttered) lobster roll. I did not know the lobster roll was going to be as small as it was. (I'm thinking I would be getting a lobster roll like I would be getting on the east coast). I could not eat the lobster roll. First bite tasted like all butter on my palate. So I'm thinking I got mostly just the bread so I took another bite, and same thing so I tried just a piece of lobster, and it was still just drenched in all butter. It was just too much butter. I've had these kind of lobster rolls before and they were not like this.
My husband said his peel eat shrimp were just OK .
The cocktail sauce was overwhelmingly tasting like lemon.
We were pretty bummed in the end as we were looking forward to this dinner. But between the service & the dinner.... It has taken me weeks to write this because I hate leaving this type of review, but I felt like I needed to in order to be honest about how we felt with our experience.
