A solid neighborhood spot. The New Haven style crust is crisp, the sauce has a nice tang. Quality toppings. The patio is a pleasant spot to eat. Pizza is always ready for pickup, which is convenient. A reliable choice.

Celia was a great server. She knew the menu well and was attentive without being overbearing. The food was pretty good overall, though the main course came out a little slower than expected.

The lobster and ribeye had this great smoky flavor from the fire. Perfect for sharing with friends!

A classic seafood shack by the water. The lobster roll was just right&mdash;fresh, tender meat with a little lemon and butter.

Been coming here for years, and the fried clams are the reason. They&#39;re always crispy, never greasy, and the clams themselves are sweet and tender. It&#39;s the one dish I know I can count on every single time. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

Loved the fish tacos here, super fresh and tasty. My husband&#39;s steak sandwich looked good too. Staff was friendly, and they had non-alcoholic IPA which was a nice touch. Cool vibe overall.

Came here with a few friends for a casual dinner. The Land Ho burger special was really good - juicy and cooked just right. The vibe was perfect for our group, not too loud so we could actually chat.

Their cheese pizza to go was fantastic. Reminded me of New Haven. Grabbed a bottle of red to pair at home, and it worked really well. The crust held up perfectly. A solid find.

The salmon salad is my go-to for a quick lunch. The fried avocado starter is solid too. Brussels sprouts and tater tots never miss. Gets me in and out fast, which is all I need.

Our waitress was a real highlight, so friendly and made the evening fun. The space itself is lovely, with a cozy dining room and nice outdoor terraces. We ended up staying for a while just enjoying the vibe.

Love the vibe here for trivia night. It&rsquo;s just the right kind of casual, not too loud so you can actually hear your team. The lights were dimmed just enough. Good spot to unwind.

Tried their Tuesday Surf and Turf special. $45 for steak, lobster, a starter, dessert, and a glass of champagne. The lobster tail was a decent size, not tiny. Felt like a solid deal for what you get.

Stopped in for a cocktail and a small bite. The cosmopolitan was really good, one of the best I can remember. The staff is genuinely warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable.

Loved the tea smoked duck here! Skin was super crispy, and that smoky flavor was just right. The eggplant in garlic sauce was also really tender. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends, and the prices are fair.

Been coming here for years, and their tomahawk is always spot on. Medium rare, tender, every single time.

Been here a few times. The hibachi show is fun, chefs are entertaining. Steak and chicken cooked right in front of you, came out just how we like it. Good spot for a casual dinner.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s the consistent, friendly service that keeps me coming back. They remember my usual order, and it just feels like a neighborhood place that cares.

The pork belly bao was a great start. I really appreciated the fresh pickled vegetables, they cut through the richness nicely. The bun itself was soft and warm. A solid, balanced little bite.

The bing wraps are massive, basically burrito-sized. Got the roast pork one, it was stuffed with fresh veggies and had good flavor. Solid for the price. Staff was nice explaining the menu.

The gluten-free pizza was a pleasant surprise, and paired nicely with a glass of their house red. The crust actually had some flavor!

The egg melt and cashew collard wrap tasted so fresh. Really appreciate the quality ingredients.

The gluten-free lobster roll is the reason I come here. That soft, buttery roll actually holds together, and the lobster itself is fresh and generously portioned. You don&#39;t taste the &quot;gluten-free&quot; at all. Hard to find done this well anywhere else.

The Caesar salad was the star. So creamy, so crisp. Honestly didn&#39;t expect it to be the best thing we ordered. Staff was really nice too.

The nachos supreme here is massive, easily feeds two. Good flavor, the portion for the price is solid. I&#39;ve seen places charge more for half the amount.

Came here for a quiet dinner with friends. The space was perfect for our group of eight, no crowding at all. The vibe was relaxed, not too loud. Good spot if you need a place that can handle a bigger table without feeling rushed.

Been coming here for years. Their flatbreads are huge, great for sharing. The Middle Eastern taste plate with the three dips is always a solid choice. Lemon cake dessert is just right for two. Drinks are creative - tried the black Manhattan, it was good.

The burger was cooked just right and super juicy. I liked that the toppings were simple, so you could really taste the quality of the meat.

The blueberry lemon scone was fantastic, honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The whole place has this great neighborhood vibe, really cozy and welcoming. Just a nice, relaxed spot to enjoy a coffee.

Happy hour is a solid deal. Their cocktails are well-priced and the small plates hit the spot. Just the right vibe to unwind after a long day. The lighting was soft, which I really liked.
