Started off with a bowl of shrimp and corn chowder. Really good. Then had their deviled eggs, which are topped with crab. Unique twist, very good. Dinners was the stuffed flounder with crab and risotto/lobster. Large servings, left full. Great wait staff, happy and wishes to enjoy you enjoying your meal.

Great Seafood Place, Amazing options and Reasonable prices. The Cocktails were delicious. Also on Sunday they have 1/2 prices on wine bottles. The Shrimp risotto is a must!!!

I love this place, great claim chowder red or white! It would be nice if they offered later evening events, band or open 🎤... live it up a little.

We made a detour during a recent road trip based on some great reviews we read online. We were really looking forward to trying their fried clams, which we were surprised to find were just $6 on their happy hour menu. However, the clams were over cooked and lacked flavor. We also tried the clam chowder which was much thicker than we personally like. We also had an odd experience with the wait staff. There were customers at only two other tables besides ours, yet everytime the waitress came to our table, she acted rushed and seemed annoyed to answer our questions about the menu. When we were settling our bill and leaving, she seemed friendlier but throughout the rest of our time in the restaurant, we felt like an imposition.

Very nice seafood spot along route nine in New Gretna, heard lots of rave reviews and we gave it a try. Service was great, nice atmosphere, busy and a bit loud, definitely popular with the local crowd. Nice bar and array of beers and cocktails. I started with their signature New England clam chowder, a bit heavy on the potatoes and a little light on the clams but definitely tasty, fried calamare was nicely done but the coconut shrimp were small and ordinary. I had an order of fried clam strips which were about the best that I have had in South Jersey, very crispy, lightly battered and perfectly fried. It was served with a good cole slaw and some nice French Fries. Would love to come back on a cooler day for some of their nice looking oysters and clams.
