a complete waste of time and money 2/17/2008

Though this place has a nice waterfront location, the inside is reminiscent of a suburban chain restaurant, with cheap decor and dirty floors. The chowder, which came recommended by the waiter, was no better (perhaps even worse) than a store brand's canned soup. The lobster bisque had one, I'm talking ONE, little piece of lobster in it. When we addressed the waiter about this, he replied, ""It's a bisque; the lobster is $40-50 per piece. We can't afford to put a lot of lobster in it."" Needless to say, the bisque was a cornstarch, cream, and complete blandness concoction. The waiter was rude to our party, arguing that our expectations of a seafood restaurant to have actual SEAFOOD in the dishes was absurd. Needless to say, save your big time cash (it's a rip-off) and go to one of the street vendors for their seafood. You'll get what you pay for. This is an absolute trap that is riding on the fact that it has waterfront property at the Wharf. Pros: waterfront property Cons: food, service, atmosphere, basically everything a restaurant should have. more
