We celebrated a birthday here on our last trip to MV. We ordered the lobster pot pie and it was good, but not what we anticipated. When I think New England pot pie I'm assuming a hearty meal of veggies, lobster meat, creamy sauce, and a flaky pastry crust. What we got was a meal where they were primarily concerned about the presentation and appearance versus the qualify. Yes, the meal was good, but should have just been called "Lobster in a copper pot with a few peas, 1 carrot, and tiny slivers of pastry crust". For $70 I'd rather go to a seafood shanty in Chilmark and order 3 whole lobsters with a Q clam.

That unfortunate let-down aside, the rest of the meal was delicious, especially the desserts! Service was fantastic as expected, and the environment was welcoming as well. It's definitely a great place to hang out for a few hours, pre-dinner drinks, dinner, dessert, and then after dinner drinks. I never fail to make new friends while dining there so make sure you talk to those around you! Plus it's on the water so the summer season is great for people-watching.
