Big portions, a little on the pricey side. Make reservations because there is often a wait... Seafood pie is so good!

Get a table out on the wharf around sunset if you can and you might catch an amazing sunset. Expect a long wait so I recommend having your order ready for the server or you may be waiting even longer. Worth the wait as the food is really good. Have some bug spray if sitting outside...

If you are looking for simply lobsters and clams, this is your spot. Point to the lobster you want in the tanks they have separated by size then go find a picnic table overlooking the "Gut" where you will see a working fishing village hard at work. They will deliver your lobsters, and clams if you like, to your table with melted butter, lobster crackers and napkins. They have some cold drinks and chips inside but that's it. Feel free to BYOB or take your own salads and sides if you like and tuck into a "lobster feed". There is a sink with soap right on the dock to wash up after. This is the best way to eat lobster! This it a working pier so you may catch a whiff of bait and diesel fuel...

They make a decent sandwich here but steer clear of the eggplant parm; the pizza is good if you like Greek style. Eat in, on the deck or take it to go.
