I want to thank the owners and workers who game us such an amazing meal

Thank you Jim for honoring my 2 free meals, they were delicious. So much better than my first experience. I got the lobster quesadillas, lobster, melted cheese with a dipping sauce, pico and lime. This was my favorite. I got the lemon butter lobster roll. Very good, full of lobster chunks. Lastly they threw in some lobster bisque, it was so good. It was full of lobster chunks and potatoes. I will definitely be back sooner than 2 years later. lol! Thanks again Jim for making my second experience worth it.

Sooo good...and filling. What I didn't like is the overall cleanliness. It's surface clean and therefore not dirty or I wouldn't even eat there, but it's not the level of clean I'd like to see. My feet were slightly sticking to the floor, the bathroom could use a wipe down of the walls and floors, the water in the bathroom never got warm. Pros: Value, Taste, Service Cons: Could be cleaner. Decor is lacking

Assuming I'm with one party when I'm telling them I don't know those people and still tried to seat me with them. Our server was clearly going back and forth with someone or some people on her phone. She kept texting. Forgot our food several times. Messed up the orders three times. Had a nasty attitude and just could not, would not smile. We could all tell that she was going through something. That doesn't dismiss our entire experience being bad to the point we left earlier before we were done eating. I'm not interested in returning although the food was good. It was not get treated badly good. Ah ah ah. I do not recommend. I'll try other places. I'm giving it three stars because the food was good.

We placed a reservation and were told when our table was ready. Our server Ruby was outstanding! She promptly brought more drinks, answered questions and gave us the time to decide. The breaded fish was delicious, as was the Mac salad and slaw. I chose onion straws as my third side. They were fine and would have complimented a steak nicely. My fault, they were lost under a fried fish. They had a good crowd despite the frigid conditions and the lot was well plowed. I should have gone with the mac and cheese. It looked great and everyone else liked it. Shout out to Ruby who certainly made our night. A great place for Mardi Gras reveling in a few weeks!

We went…read moreearly --and I recommend going early dinner both for parking and seating-- but there were enough people sitting that I'd be in the way getting snaps. Also many people waiting to pick up orders, so the front was also too busy for getting pix. Another thing I would recommend is sitting at table instead of booth. We sat in a booth. The problem with the booths, or at least the first booth from door, is either the seats are too low or the table is too high. Terrific fish fry: haddock with two sides. Loved the light breading on this. Also available is the Buffalo classic fish fry-- beer battered and fried, standard sides... fries, Cole slaw, mac salad. Very interesting menu. Inviting. So I will be accepting the invitation to come back for the Portside (lobster sandwich), and for the seafood fries. More reviews to follow. Very personable employees, enjoyable decor. Music a tad loud, and incongruous. I read a review from last year that described the music, though also too loud, as R&B. That sounds just right. Maybe dance music gets people to eat faster, desirable for quicker table turnover. There were people waiting for tables as we left. Only negative for me was thin ranch dressing and thin tartar sauce.

Soon we learned that he was not only very friendly, but also fast, energetic, and attentive. Check out the menu. There's something for everyone who's craving seafood. We visited in the late afternoon on Friday. My partner wanted the traditional Buffalo Fish Fry. I was looking for something that wasn't a deep-fried carb overload :). At a certain point, new guests began streaming into the restaurant - including those who were there just for takeout orders. Our food arrived straight from the kitchen and was still piping hot.The Fish Fry received nothing but good reviews. The beer batter was crispy and flavorful. The haddock was flaky and perfectly cooked as well. The order was missing the corn muffin, but the rest of the sides were there, house-made and delicious. The Lexington dish on The Mains menu sounded more sophisticated than it actually tasted. It was very good indeed, but it lacked a bit of 'zing', something to elevate its flavor from being flat. The broccoli was boiled and served as a side dish. Had it been char-grilled (as indicated on the menu) perhaps it would have added more flavor and texture to the dish? Anyway, as I mentioned, my course was very good/satisfying. I should have asked for at least some lemon wedges. Next time I'll definitely order the Shrimp Po Boy :). The two shrimps I had were perfect. Truly succulent; tender, juicy and sweet. Yummy!
