sunday. The service and the food was excellent, especially the lobster roll. ”

The garlic cheese bread was tasty, though you only get one small roll of it for the table, and my salmon was grilled nicely, but did not have a ton of flavor,even with the "spicy salsa" sauce. ”

They offered a few fish to be carved tableside, unfortunately, after our great server was done butchering our turbot, it made me wonder if the trend of whole fish has something to do with the lack of ability to butcher fish correctly. ”

The wait was inexcusable at one hour, the fish was mediocre at best, and the side dishes were inedible due to oversalting. ”

And the Manhattan Clam Chowder had no thyme in it, and would have passed for a nice vegtable soup. ”
