    Haddock and shrimp special
    David P.

    Had a real nice meal on a Friday evening at the chowder house. Waitress took our drink order (by the way they do not offer light beer). Ordered a UC because....we'll just because. The dining area had lots of decorations as you'd imagine the theme was beach like. Started off with calamari and it was very unique - the rings were cut thinner than most places and the light breading really let the flavors come through...definitely fresh and really good. Opted for the deep fried haddock and shrimp special, shrimp were very large and still had bite to them so I have to believe they were very fresh. Beer battered haddock was good - two strips with a nice coating. Took a pic of the dinner but it came out lousy - good reason to return.

    The service was really good at that chowder House. I had the shrimp scallops haddock dish spicy. The seafood seemed very fresh however the seafood delicate taste may have been overwhelmed a bit by the generous amount of sauce. The dish was delicious but wished I had gotten it with the lemon butter garlic sauce To better complement the delicate taste of the seafood.

    Portion size was small, my fish was a bit over cooked, so it is a bit dry. My bf's dish has only 4 crab stuffed shrimp, on a bed of blend and mushy rice and served with burned broccoli, and this was their dinner special for 19 bucks without tax and everything. The manhattan chowder was mediocre with several very chewy clam piece. Wait time was a bit long as it was Friday night we understand it. Overall not a pleasant experience. The ratings and the website set high expectations but the experience is a bit far from what I read. Disappointed and I don't think we will come back. We can get better seafood, restaurant setting, and service at a better price or value in the area. For example, ocean blue. The price may be a little bit higher but I feel it worth it and I enjoyed the food.

    If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was in a nice little New England seafood restaurant. The food is very fresh, prepared exceptionally well,and at prices that will surprise you. Great atmosphere and service too. I'll definitely return.

    Wow I am so excited to share this review! What an amazing experience we had at this restaurant…read more Welcomed with a friendly greeting & beautiful smile, Chase offered us a comfy booth. Then greeted by Kyle our waiter who was awesome! So classy, and so prompt, great service, suggestions, check backs, fantastic! Now the food! The bang bang cauliflower was delicious. Crispy outside, tasty seasoning, tender cauliflower. Outstanding salads with tender chicken on the Caesar salad and the shrimp was perfectly cooked on the Asian salad with crisp mixed lettuce and a sweet savory dressing. Kudos to the chef or chefs. One of the best restaurants! We will be back! Hoping to sit on the outdoor patio that I am sure is wonderful in a nice day. They also have a private room for special events. A fantastic drink menu is a bonus.

    The food remains consistently excellent. The service continues to decline. Whether the place is…read morefull or empty, whether you have reservations for two or for 10 people, your table simply will not be ready. The average wait time is 20 minutes beyond your reservation time. Once you are finally seated, the wait staff are knowledgeable and friendly and will help you select your evening repast. And then you will wait again. Typically at least 20 minutes for your food. For your drinks, for your appetizers. It wasn't always like that. There is an internal inefficiency in their kitchen operations in recent months that results in delays. They seem to have enough staff. They just seem to have lost their rhythm. The ambience is lovely, the table settings fine. But there are little things that are slipping. As you can tell from my many reviews of this restaurant over the last several years, this beautiful establishment has achieved four stars. But today in June 2026, their beautiful cuisine is served on nice porcelain plates, but their coleslaw is served in a paper cup. The music is way too loud so you can't have a conversation at the table unless you scream. And they claim to not be allowed to turn the music down. They clearly cater to the 30 and under crowd. The 60s and older are not a priority for them. Wine is properly served, and the drinks are nicely mixed but to get a refill will take you a very long time. When the tables around you are empty, it begs the question as to what is the cause of the delay. My last two dinners here experienced these inexcusable delays. I hope they get the problem straightened out. Because this really is a destination restaurant.
