The seafood here is top-notch. Yeah, it&#39;s a bit pricey, but you get a good amount for it. The fish was super fresh and cooked just right.

Been coming here for years, and the deck with the harbor view is still my favorite spot. Just a nice, consistent place to unwind.

Been coming here for years and the fried pickles are still my go-to. They never miss.

The creme brulee latte was delicious. But for $8.50, I was hoping for a slightly bigger cup. The breakfast sandwich was good, just a standard size.

Clean place, friendly staff. Our server Cate was attentive. The chicken pot pie was solid, ribs were good. Service was efficient, which I appreciate for a business lunch.

Love that the patio is huge and dog-friendly, perfect for our group. The lobster roll was solid, but the real vibe was watching the fishing boats come in by the water. Such a chill spot to hang.

Been coming here for years. The key lime pie is always spot on&mdash;just the right balance of tart and sweet. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Everything else is solid, but the pie is the one thing I know will be perfect every single time.

The staff was super nice about my friend&#39;s nut allergy, which was a relief. Our server was really on top of it, checking everything for us. Made the whole dinner way less stressful for the group.

The smoked prime rib and blueberry scallops were a cool start. Menu&#39;s got some creative twists.

Lobster roll was solid. Good amount of fresh meat, bun was toasted well. Served warm with butter, which was nice. A bit pricey for what it is, but the quality is there.

Minestrone was fresh, good flavor. Haddock entree hit the spot. But yeah, it gets busy. Waited a bit for a table. Not a huge deal.

The eggplant fries with marinara sauce. That&#39;s the thing. They&#39;re crispy, not soggy at all. The sauce has a nice tang to it. It&#39;s a good side for a sandwich.

Solid vegan options, which is nice. The vibe is cozy, and I liked the water view and the little aquarium. Jazz playing in the background was a chill touch.

My go-to for Indian food. The Keema Curry and Chicken Saag are consistently good. The lamb in the Rogan Josh is reliably tender. The Kashmir naan is a must-order, always fresh. It&#39;s a solid choice when you need a dependable meal.

The Korean fried cauliflower and Bang Bang shrimp were both packed with flavor. A solid start to the meal.

$1 oyster night is a solid deal. Oysters were fresh and sweet, sat at the bar. Good vibe there, not too loud.

The chicken parm is always crispy, never soggy. That&#39;s the main thing for me. I get it with a side meatball every time. The bread they give you is good for sopping up the sauce.

The melanzane ripiene and veal carrozza were delicious. Portions are generous for the price, which I really appreciate.

Service was solid. Matthew was attentive, checked on us at the right times, and handled a special request without any fuss. It was efficient and professional.

The cucumber martini was super refreshing, and they put a lot of thought into the presentation. But for a $16 cocktail, the portion felt a bit small. I wish the glass was a little fuller for that price point.

The portions here are huge. I ordered the chicken parm and couldn&#39;t finish half of it, had a whole meal for lunch the next day. For what you pay, that&#39;s a solid deal.

The Hawthorne breakfast was huge and so good! This place has such a fun vibe for catching up with friends.

Been coming for years, and the pistachio baklava ice cream is still the real deal. You can taste the actual nuts in every bite.

The bartender here really knows her stuff. She put together a wine list that&#39;s actually interesting, not just the usual suspects. Had a glass of something I&#39;d never tried before and it was a nice surprise. The whole vibe in here is pretty chill, too.

The lobster roll was pretty good, especially on their bar specials night. Plenty of fresh lobster, which was nice. It did feel a bit pricey for the size, though.

The fried shrimp were huge and perfectly seasoned. $15 for a dozen is a steal. I don&#39;t usually order shrimp, but I&#39;m glad I tried them here.

Been coming here for years. Their cocktails are consistently well-made, which is why I keep coming back.

Stopped by to check out the space for a future gathering. It&#39;s a clean, well-designed room. The staff was helpful when I asked about their drink menu options for events.

The burgers and steak and cheese are pretty good when they get it right. Had a decent meal here last Friday. It was a bit busy, so maybe that&#39;s why my sandwich wasn&#39;t quite as great as the last time. Still fine overall.

The bar had a fun vibe. Bartender&rsquo;s wine suggestion was spot on with my steak.
