Loved it! The food is phenomenal! The fish stew is a must try! The best I ever had! Same for lobster roll! Kid-friendliness: Great selection for kids Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Lobster Roll

Cute little spot! Very good clam chowder, but the Brussels sprouts were disappointing; they were too wet and too sweet. I would come back to try other items on the menu. The server was friendly!!

Friendly staff, nice and clean. Meals were very good but a bit over priced in my opinion. But that wouldn't stop me from going back. Lobster Roll was nice and fresh, served with fries that we're great. Fish tacos good but served with a plain white rice and black beans. Our cheese pizza was very good too.

I would have liked to enjoy a smaller beer option more often, but now I’m hesitant to return. Another personal opinion: the number of screens in the bar feels a bit excessive. It can be hard for patrons to connect with each other, whether it’s with a new friend or the bartender. Sure, a visible screen can enhance a sports event, but not everyone wants a huge high-definition TV dominating the space while they’re trying to eat or drink. Most of us already have our own screens in our bags for when we need a distraction. This place has the potential to be a vibrant bar, especially since there are few options in Manchester, but right now it just feels like a last resort. I’ll come back, primarily because of the tacos, but I hope to see some changes.
