A favorite of mine. I love their fried clams but this time I got the Buratta salad with chicken and it was delicious. My friend got the fried fish sandwich and enjoyed it. Big portions!

Came here with my family to celebrate my grandmother’s United States citizenship . The place was beautiful and unique. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday, imagine what a weekend would be like! Lively! Their food and drinks are delicious. The restaurant definitely lived up to it’s name because it does feel like you’re on a boat. It also consist of a bar area, high tops tables, large area of dining, and plenty of restrooms. Staff were friendly as well. Definitely would go here again!

The fried combo plate- off the dinner menu- was off the charts phenomenal. Clean oil- crisp- delicious. The salmon tower- delicious- the chicken Caesar salad was really good. Waitress was friendly and efficient. One of our favorite restaurants. The photo of the salmon tower was already half eaten! It was huge.
