Actually left before we ordered. There was a very foul smell and the floor was tacky and dirty. Table was sticky and silverware was not clean. More

I grew up in New England where we know seafood and how to cook it correctly. I came here and ordered the beantown bake and it was all overcooked. I told the server it was all overcooked and got "sorry about that" - no offer of a discount, free dessert.. The lobster was a travesty - hardly would come out... More

Nothing out of the ordinary, but I like the option of eating outdoors sometimes. Service can be slow, and at lunch that can be a problem. More

Beach style restaurant that's "shabby chic". Had the NE steam bowl with lots of clams, 3 lobster claws, Snow Crabs and corn on the cob. Great shell cracking food. Very good and friendly service at good pricing. More

Excellent crab. Service started out slow had to ask for service but after that service was ok. a little on the pricey side and has a noisy tacky atmosphere. food was really good which is the only reason I rated it very good instead of average. More

After living in Louisiana and enjoying bayou crawfish, I was hesitant to try the Orleans bucket but I gave in and glad I did. A pound of crawfish, a bunch of boiled shrimp, corn, potatos and sausage rounded out this bucket. All I can say, there is a God. Some of the best seafood I have ever eatin. The seasoning... More

The food was ok, lots of fried stuff with lots of breading and corn meal. The atmosphere is fun and lends itself to large noisey groups well. More

Food was ok but I think too pricey for what you get. Typical chain type restaurant. Better places to get your seafood on. More
