The octopus is amazing... and if you are lucky enough to be there when the lamb sliders or on the menu its like winning the lottery. They have a great wine list, local beers on tap and Chris is among our favorite bartenders in town!

There will always be a wait here unless you go mid-afternoon... It's worth it no matter the wait. The oysters are so tasty and so Maine. Get a flight and taste the subtle differences from each river. Be sure to order a Dirty Dirty Martini to wash it all down... and perhaps chase it with the browned butter lobster roll.

All meals are awesome here but brunch is just the bomb! Enjoy a made to order Bloody from the extensive list of ingredients or split a pitcher of house made sangria. The plates are creative and enormous. We often split a breakfast and add a side of sautéed greens and chick peas. Like bacon? The bowl of bacon will feed the whole table!! For lunch or dinner be sure to add a milk shake...
