Very disappointed. I have ordered fried seafood platters all over coastal New England. While the $31 price is at higher-end of average for a fresh fried combination platter, beware, our takeout was insultingly disproportionate AND the overall quality was really poor. Platters at this price point should be pretty loaded with fresh goodies and have a smal mountain of french fries and maybe a few fresh onion rings. HERE S WHAT WE GOT: The shrimp looked suspiciously the size and quality of those grocery store party platters that come prepackaged on round trays, and they were totally oil-logged = just gross... NOT EVEN CLOSE to the shrimp you should get on a combo platter in this region! My husband said, are these people serious?? . There were 5 fried whole clams, the best part, but I like them over-cooked and extra crunchy. 5 small sea scallops, around 10 of those insulting half-bite-sized weird shrimp and 2 very small finger-sized pieces of fish (typically you should get one huge or two smaller fat pieces of haddok)... oh yeah, and a VERY SMALL handful of fries and a little half-filled container of cole slaw. We were mad and felt insulted, especially since it was takeout and we felt like they cut serious corners for profit margins or they just don t care. I have no problem dropping $$$ on beautiful fried seafood or any other dining experience, but THIS WASN T IT. (Heads up: Someone mentioned they are under new ownership, so don t invest too much in the older reviews for this establishment)
