In New York from Italy for a week holiday with the family, we left Manhattan to explore Brooklyn and we found this nice warm restaurant. Good kinds menu for our little one, great choice of delicious fish for the others. The Clam Chowder, the Lobster roll and the fish and chips were very good, adequate portions.
The crew was very kind and the owner sat down at our table for a chat. We appreciated the food and the atmosphere. Honest price being in NY. Recomended

We were on a one day excursion in New York and walking back to embark on the Queen Mary 2 when we popped in. Great lobster rolls, delicious cocktails but above all the wharf-like ambience and the friendliness of the owner and wait staff. Definitely recommend it if you love lobster and a good vibe.

I’m sorry Paul that we haven’t ordered the whole lobster that you have been pushing to sell so hard. On our first night in New York we were really looking forward to enjoy your famous lobster roll. Unfortunately that was clearly way below your standard.

But pushing the check in our face just because we are not in for a desert, while we are still halfway our drinks, and then return unasked with your payment device when we are not finished is just absolutely rude. You clearly wasn’t happy to serve us tonight. Being treated like that is not what we expected from a so well praised place.

Fantastic lunch al fresco following a long (boozy…) visit to Widow Jane distillery. It was a very hot and humid summer day which frankly made the experience even better, especially as I worked my way through a whole Poundster!

Special mention for the awesome staff who spotted that I had drunkenly forgotten my $300 Widow Jane bourbon purchase under the table and held onto it until I made my way back…

We regularly take our grandson here for lobster when we are in town.$1 oysters in Happy Hour and fresh hard shell lobsters. Usually the service is friendly and efficient. This evening only 3 tables of customers, including us. My husband had to get up 4 times to ask for things to eat. I had to get up to ask for water. Pathetic. Great oysters and lobsters. I had a lobster roll which was supposed to be warm with buttered lobster. Not warm and not freshly cooked lobster. French fries with it barely warm. Looks like we'll have to find a new place to carry on our tradition!
