Found this place as a pop up on my phone. Went to check it out with a friend and we were impressed. I had seafood salad and friend had lobster roll. Both were very fresh and reasonably priced. Service was excellent. They checked on us 3x and were very friendly. Will definitely go back.

Lobster Bisque central. Always scorching hot, the bread bowl is warmed to the perfect temperature to enjoy through the entire eat. The combo basket was perfectly crisp and tasty. The super warm food was paired perfectly with their draft select beers. It was an excellent dinner for me and my babe.
