I need to write more "good" reviews and after grabbing pickup at Butcher Burger while we were…read morestaying nearby, I'm so happy to give this place 5 stars. I found their combo with two kids burgers so satisfying for the desire of a time when that company we don't visit anymore had reasonable prices. I was happy to pay Butcher's prices because it was so much better than even the memories of those other burgers were. But the real reason I HAD to write this glowing review is that we also got the onion rings. These onion rings are the best damn onion rings I've ever had. I got full on the burgers and fries and first helping of rings. Then a few hours later I polished off the rest of the rings. This place is a jewel you should not miss, especially if you need a break from seafood.

Too much lettuce, making it look like there is more lobster inside than there is, but that's probably why it was $27 and not $34. The bun was a little too greasy for me as well. Fried pickles- 5/5 SO good! Added the chipotle ranch and that was perfect with them. Very yummy! Parmesan fries- 5/5 also great! Grilled cheese- pretty good and only $6! Great deal. I also really enjoyed my Chardonnay. All in all, I'd go back! The service was really friendly and helpful as well, making me want to go back for that alone.

Food is great!! Will go back! Service and ambiance are fine, but isn't everywhere's? Street parking.read more

The restaurant is absolutely charming and so cozy on the inside. Service was exceptional as was the food. We ordered a bunch of things to try but our favorite was the spicy eggplant terrine, it was literal perfection. Other dishes we loved were the halibut, smash burger, asparagus, and hazelnut mousse. I can't believe I waited so long to try this spot, but I won't make that mistake again!

For being in the middle of the day on a Saturday, I was actually surprised it wasn't busier; however, with a starving kid it was a blessing. Service was quick and kind, but not overly frilly. The staff were pleasant and incredibly accommodating with my son (offering coloring books if he needed to be kept busy, etc). I loved the location, and the ambiance was stellar. I would love to come back as a date night so I could actually take in the space and really enjoy look over the options, rather than a quick glance so that we could keep our afternoon rolling. I got a chicken sandwich and my husband and son both got cheeseburgers. We split a large fry which was plenty for the three of us. Portions were reasonably sized for the price, and the dirty sauce I got on the side was delicious! The house-made soda was also delightful and refreshing. So, a 3 star is great for the the fact that I didn't really take my time to truly take it all in. But I definitely look forward to coming back and really soaking it all in

Yum! This spot was…read morehighly recommended by friends and also on every "must try" list we found for the city. So, we decided to sneak over here after a busy morning at the lighthouse with our toddler for a nice, filling lunch before a later flight home. We must've gotten lucky on a Sunday bc our wait for three people was about 15-20 minutes quoted and we spent 10 minutes walking the block to entertain our toddler, came back to check-in and our table was ready! yay! We had a great table in the corner by the window which was excellent with our toddler. Our server, Brian, was wonderful and super friendly. Menu isn't huge but, has enough stuff that should be able to please most. We chose a small fry with the daily dip which was almost like a mayo-based honey mustard dijon and was delicious, with ketchup and vinegar for dipping. Fries were crispy and delicious. We got the green salad and the Cuban to split and loved both. The sandwich was delicious and the green salad was light and refreshing with some really yummy herbs on top to include fennel which isn't usually on a salad but I loved the taste for this one, worked perfectly with the dressing. My husband ordered their house-made cherry soda and let me tell you, best cherry soda of my life! We ordered two bc I drank about half of it. They have a charming outdoor patio area with about 3-4 other tables. Charming spot - def. recommend! Wait can get super long - by the time we left they were quoting over an hour for a table since it's smaller inside and large parties can take up almost all the spaces.

There are so many different seating options--you can sit in the dining area, grab a high-top at the open bar, or enjoy your food and drinks outside. I especially loved the decor! It has such a beautiful garden-inspired vibe that makes the space feel really cozy and inviting. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, which always makes an experience even better. They also had a great variety of beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options, so there really is something for everyone. We had such a great first experience here and already looking forward to coming back!

We had to get something else on the kids menu because our kid is not used to red hot dog. That's fine but the wait staff said she would remove the charge. Instead, what happened was the hot dog was taken away and we were still charged the hot dog price. Saturday night, we tried to order online for pickup but their online order system was down during concert night. OK. We go to the restaurant to order. It was mostly empty with a few customers. We're told to go back to order pickup. The wait staff was so rude to me and the kids. I get it. They sell good beer that everyone buys cases and cases of to bring home. Customer service is lacking to families who travel far for a music weekend

The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat! Definitely try out the Highroller and maybe get some of their iconic merch.

We ended up taking out order to a park nearby that had benches so it worked out. Me and my friend shared a flight, where it included 3 lobster rolls with 2 oz. of lobster and we chose the jalapeño mayo, lime mayo, and lobster ghee ones. My favorite one was probably the jalapeño mayo because I loved the kick, but all three were delicious. I would definitely recommend getting the flight since the rolls are smaller and you get to try the different sauces.

We got there (three adults) around 4p and sat right down at the bar. I wish I would have taken a photo of how MASSIVE the mussels were. They were also just so delicious. The focaccia bread that came with it?? Let it soak up that juice because yes. Just yes. We also ordered the deviled eggs, fried calamari, clam chowder and some beers. The lemon pepper aioli that came with the calamari was very good. I'd chosen the raspberry sour they just put on tap and that was very good. If I'd gotten the bartender's name, I would absolutely give her a shoutout on here because she was great as well! I'd recommend this place to others!
