“ Still loving this place.... The bartenders are Always friendly, and fun to chat with. The ambiance is casual and it's a great place for the locals, especially for happy hour (sunday-friday 2:30-5:30) Thus far, the food has been pretty good, and I'm looking forward to trying more things on the menu ”
“ Me and my lady went to have dinner and some drinks before the New Year let me tell you the margaritas where fire La toxica margarita hits and the mussels and clams 50/50 pasta Bomb Fish bar Check it out ”
“ Went there for dinner tonight. Service is friendly and really attentive. They serve complimentary warm sourdough rounds - and we had a lot of it. Their clam chowder is yummy. Not too creamy and clams abundant. I had the scallops on skewer which was ok. The lobster bisque, shrimp scampi were pretty good. The salad, oysters, coconut shrimp and steamed clams were 10 out of 10. They have large screens for watching sports, some booth seats and high top seating. Good acoustics for private conversations. It's one of our favorite spots now. ”
“ The service was excellent. Samantha was so nice and took great care of us. The scallops, salmon and Chilean sea bass were so fresh and prepared beautifully.. The wine was light and crisp and a wonderful complement to the meal. Definitely want to go back when I am back in the atea. ”
“ How often to you come to a sports bar with really good food? It can be kind of loud but not so much you can't hear your table mates. The staff is always so professional and polite. There are tv's everywhere with lots of different sports going on. They usually have good specials and great menus on holidays. It's always busy as the food is really good. The Brussel sprouts are nicely seasoned and done so even if you don't like Brussel sprouts you'd eat these. The artichokes were a little tough than and not as steamed as I like. I would pass on that next time. I love the Manhattan Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. Also a favorite (when they have it) is the Halibut fish and chips. Tonight we chose blackened salmon with garlic fries and steamed broccoli. and the sea bass with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Both were very tasty and all was devoured minus the broccoli. Both pieces of fish were well seasoned without being overly seasoned. They were both and moist. I'd order both again. We also split the key lime pie which is a small round pie with a tablespoon of fresh whipped cream, a strawberry and a blackberry. It's not overly sweet and a perfect size so to end the meal on. I don't drink so I can't tell you about the liquor though I know it's extensive by the looks of the menu and bottles on the wall. Metered parking is easiest across the street and it can get full quick on a weekend. This is a delicious little spot if you're in the area but be aware they can get busy in evenings on weekends and holidays so best to make a reservation. ”
“ Lovely place Let's collaborate I am blogger Instagram @mrdallars Highly recommend this place ”
“ This place was so good!! I came here with some friends after work on a Friday with reservations and got seated right away. The restaurant was super packed and lively, so I definitely recommend having reservations. I ordered their virgin pina colada and it was the best one I've ever had. So creamy and flavorful, I wish it came in a bigger cup! I also ordered their lobster taco and asked if it could come with garlic fries (instead of rice). Both are delicious. The lobster pieces were big and the tortilla was so soft. The garlic fries were also really flavorful. I'd definitely return here again if I was in the area. So good and really recommend this place! ”
“ Although the food Wes good we were a bit disappointed when we saw the menu prices seemed to be double of what we saw on line. That aside food and service was good. We had Chowder, the Taco Special and Clams And Muscles in a garlic broth. The bread they served with the clam/muscle entree was the best part of the eating experience. I found the Broth that the shellfish entree was extremely weak. Being from the East Coast I am used to my shellfish having a more fishy taste. The Clam chowder rated a 3.5 on a scale of 5 and the Tacos were fresh and I would recommend the shrimp over the blackened fish. I was a bit disappointed that our server did not offer complimentary bread. ”
“ Always such a fan of the salmon chowder! Been coming here for years for that alone, altho all other fish dishes I've had here were good, too. The coconut shrimp also never disappoint! Convenient paid lot across the street as well as street parking. Sometimes gets really busy on weekends or at dinner time, but this area is real nice to walk around and the blocks are really short, so however far away you park, it's still not that far or difficult. ”
