The best Connecticut style lobster roll I've had anywhere, but I recommend ordering it to go. The wait service was terribly slow. I had to ask for our check twice and then after waiting another ten minutes finally had to go hunt down a member of the wait staff to get it so we could pay and leave.

We stopped by mid-afternoon, so the restaurant wasnât very busy and staff seemed to be taking a break. The location is great along the waterfront, and the menu with a very good selection.Ordering didnât take too long, but receiving our food and ultimately paying the bill took numerous requests to other servers to help us. The food was very good and ample.

Went just for drinks before a concert at the Lynn auditorium but the place was packed! Every table was taken people standing everywhere. We had to stand in the little hallway where the bathrooms & the kitchen doors were & even there we were in the way. All the waitresses looked overwhelmed, stressed & unhappy. The food looked good as it was coming out but we had already eaten. The decor looked nice for a bar, a copper tin ceiling, several Patriots pictures hanging 3 large TV's, it's a casual atmosphere, The drinks were reasonably priced. We would try again as it did look good it might have just been 1 of those nights when everyone went to RF O'Sullivans!

We popped in quite unexpectedly as they were opening just as my daughter got hungry. The big velvet curtains give the impression they are closed, but the keep the cool airless in, just keep going. The cheese appetizer was really delicious. The draft beer options are fun. The turkey sandwich and the Cuban were both delicious. Service was excellent and the manager was friendly.

Lived in Lynn for over 30 years and have never been in here until my wife said lets try it, she heard the food was excellent and reasonable, and so we did , the food was excellent and delicious, totally caught me off guard since I didn't expect it as to good it was. The food presentation is like being in a up scale restaurant where the price would be double.

This was a completely surprising experience for us. Boy did we get more than an ordinary pizza. The crust was a delightful chewy. And the vegetarian Mars Attacks (with breaded eggplant) was amazing, garlicky cheesy deliciousness. Also liked the funky eclectic decor. Very happy with the quick service as well.

I was in the area visiting my daughters with my sister and we decided to stop here for lunch. It turned out to be a lovely afternoon. The restaurant wasn't crowded at that time and the weather was beautiful, so we had an amazing view as we took our time, talking and eating. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Our server was wonderful too. I'd definitely go back when I'm in the area again.Thank you, Elise! We look forward to your next visit.
