★★★★☆ 4.0 Ignacio Solano · Jan 2026

The food is amazing. Tasty and very well prepared. The crabcake was crispy and full of lumps of crab with no fillers that I could perceive. My friend said the onion soup was good and the cheese was perfectly blended sealing the onion broth. The salad was fresh and savory, with some sautéed onions, artichoke heart, tomatoes, burrata cheese, and amazing polenta crutons. The red fish was good but too spicy. The scallops and the shrimp that came with it were cooked to perfection. This is definitely a place to come back to and taste other items. I liked it a lot. 5* excellent 4* very good 3* good but not consistently 2* It's not worth it 1* Don't even think about it

To say this place is amazing, breathtaking, and the definition of home is an understatement. First time coming here and I will DEFINITELY be back thanks to Monica and all the staff. She was very attentive and informative and was able to help me make a decision on what I wanted with ease! She took her time and didnt make us feel rushed as we explored the menu since it was our first time. She started us off with some refreshing water and then brought us the Piña colada mocktails we ordered which were full of flavor but small for the price. There was so much delicious food to choose from, to start we got the Mussels and they were super tender with a decadent creamy white sauce and fresh Parmasean cheese. For Entree I got the Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass and I fell in love! First time trying ba

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants within the area. The atmosphere is extremely solid, food was pretty much perfect, and overall great service from the staff working there. Definitely will be returning to this restaurant within the next few weeks. It's restaurants like these that reminded me just how good New England is when it comes to seafood, and just restaurants in general. Highly recommend, cuz I will be highly recommending myself to go back!

We came here for our anniversary. The service was great. Our server was so nice and attentive despite the restaurant being totally packed. I loved the complimentary bread with the butter. So good. We got some drinks and those were good too. For our appetizer we shared a pretzel, it was delicious. For entrees, I had shrimp scampi and he had vodka pasta. My shrimp scampi was soo good. This place did it right. I had some bites of my boyfriend’s vodka pasta and it was great. So flavorful! He enjoyed it. Overall, amazing dining experience. I would love to come here again. Definitely get reservations, we had to park across the street because of how packed it was. We had reservations but I can’t imagine what the wait time would be if we didn’t have one.

★★★★★ 5.0 Steve Hiday · Oct 2025

It's hard to beat this local mainstay for either quality or service. They have a classic American menu with plenty of options, a robust wine list, and they deliver on quality. We had a large table of 10 and decided to get the family-style appetizers, which were delicious! We also each started with a very tasty cocktail. For dinner I had one of the specials, the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly. Absolutely no complaints from anyone on their entrees. Service was impeccable, and we will definitely return next year. Olympic Otter
