The Seafood Shanty

I’m not sure why the reviews are poor. The service is good. The large deck offers nice views. The food is pretty solid for a place that it doesn’t have to be. We ordered raw oysters 3.5/5 (small), shrimp cocktail 4/5, Caesar salad 4/5, warm buttered lobster roll 4/5, PAN ROASTED MISO SALMON 5/5, and Boston cream pie 3/5 (dry). Good beer, wine, and cocktail options.

Very nice place, if you catch a good weather and get a seat outside, the view is incredible. The food was good, not amazing. A little bit over priced but still worth the experience.

This restaurant is a great spot to watch the boats and ferry to Chappy. We started out with a berry lemonade drink which was very refreshing and delicious. We had the lobster dip app which came with warm pita chips. The dip itself was loaded with fresh lobster and was mouth watering spectacular. I ordered lobster roll in butter accompanied with fries. The lobster was sweet and tender as it should be. It was heavenly good. Our waitress was smiling, friendly and just an all around great waitress. She checked back with us often and we appreciated her efforts.

Arrived at 6:00 pm on a cloudy Wednesday evening and were seated upstairs in the open air seating. Wonderful views over the harbor and you can watch the Chappy ferry on its constant back and forth journey. Service was good. The lobster roll was served with fries and had lots of chunk lobster – seemed to be a good value. The Clam Chowder had a good flavor and was very creamy. The fried shrimp platter was okay, but seemed a bit overpriced for the amount of shrimp. The winner was the lobster dip appetizer, served with lots of crispy pita bread. We also loved the Ocean Berry Booze cocktail. Would go back for the dip, cocktail and the great views. Outside seating was very full when we left around 7:30 pm.

Great food, great service and great location. Enjoyed the lobster roll and the fisherman's platter. Loved it so much we went twice in the same week!
