    You know a place is good when you come back twice within a 3 day getaway. Service and food is amazing. Ask for their number 1 seller, the lobster cooked Fisherman wharf style.

    We thought this was just a yuppie place Not so. The swordfish is moist and savory in every bite the stuffed shrimp delectable if you are like us and haven't been here. You must it's excellent

    Freshest seafood in Providence! Staff is always 100%. Oysters, chowder, lobster goodness. Dope wine list and wine deals.

    Always a good time sitting at the bar. Real fresh platter of oysters, clams, shrimp, and lobster. Very friendly staff with a local accent.

    Lobster and fresh oysters are great. Don't get swordfish- it's overcooked and damaged with too much butter sauce. And it's ridiculously priced!

    Yeah bacon-wrapped figs are fantastic — just one part of the amazing antipasto plate!

    Food is great but the service wasn't a sunny as other reviews let on. Maybe because we had a later reservation on a Sat night? Not sure...

    Basil lobster ravioli was very good. The sea bass special was good but not mind blowing.
