Everything was good. Our server was very attentive. It was nice that they offered some zero proof cocktails for dry January.

We dined late and the staff person was so gracious and gave us incredible attention
even though we were the only diners left in the restaurant. We tried to finish pretty quickly but were not hurried by staff.

The dinner here is very delicious - some of the best seafood I've had. Everything was so fresh, not greasy, and well balanced. The portions are slightly on the smaller side but what you get is of quality. I would definitely come back for the lobster roll. The service wasn't incredible, which wouldn't have bothered me if there wasn't a 20% gratuity being added since we were a group of 6, but I'm hoping it was just an off day. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy, especially with the holiday pop up. I look forward to coming back.

Destination: lobster rolls. Price up from last visit, but compatible with prices elsewhere. Almost empty room with good service and nice holiday ambience.

Salmon was out of this world. I NEVER eat salmon skin, but the way this was pan
seared and then finished under broil, it left the skin delicately crispy and perfectly seasoned. Soooooo good.

I was served by Drew and they were one of the best servers I’ve ever had! Kind, courteous, and always refilling my water. The food was absolutely delicious and the perfect serving amount. House made bread was to die for!

Some friends from work came here for happy hour. Prices were reasonable, and the menu had a variety of options. The Parmesan fries with truffle oil were great! We ordered deviled eggs too, which were bland. Salt and pepper were on the table and that helped, but I expected maybe something more distinctive, like smoked paprika at least?

The restaurant was decorated for the holidays, and very festive, which was nice. It wasn't crowded because there were not many people there at the time, but I could imagine it could feel claustrophobic later in the evening.

Service was great and we were well attended to. We never felt like we had to seek our waiter out, as he could read our needs. I'd definitely recommend for an early happy hour, mainly for the atmosphere and service.

They knocked it out of the park!!! Both Server and Food! On our waterfront walk with our puppy, we stumbled upon King Tide Fish & Shell! Nate graciously greeted us and seated us on the patio with a luscious waterfront view! We ordered from the Happy Hour Menu: Deviled Eggs with Maple Bacon; Clam Chowder (with their own Peruvian twist), which was So Amazing!! So Good we ordered a second bowl...Topped it off with Signature Cocktail, Nate's own creation, "Nearest & Dearest." Excellent! And the
perfect way to end a perfect meal and afternoon! We will keep this lovely restaurant (and the employees there!) in our cue of regular stops!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! You're AMAZING!!!!
