We were really looking forward to having some great seafood out here. Considering the good reviews, we were pretty disappointed with this place. to be clear, we ordered for pickup. It was the first place we tried in the area so maybe our expectations were too high. There were a few of us so we ordered a few different items to share: 3 lobster rolls, a few pounds of mussels, and 2 soft-shell crabs.
Lobster rolls: Priced at $38, this is the highest price I've ever paid for a lobster roll, including Manhattan, Maine, and Rhode Island, so I was expecting something spectacular. The bun itself was underwhelming, not toasted, not buttered, just a straight up hot dog bun. The lobster was decent, the bun was filled with plenty of lobster. The saddest part, I gotta say, is the bag of Lays potato chips that came alongside. For $38 I expected a better side item.
Mussels: overcooked, chewy, dry. The best part of eating mussels is being able to enjoy the juices and how soft and tender the meat is. There was none to be had.
Soft-shell crabs: It wasn't clear on their menu in the shop that this would come in a sandwich form. Nevertheless, the crab was battered and deep-fried really well and for the most part this was the best thing from what we ordered.
Overall, we would never go back to this spot. It's overpriced and we found way better lobster rolls and other shellfish for much better prices in the same area. I know with many restaurants, dining in is a much better experience, but that probably only applies to the mussels in our case.
