We went for Mother's Day. Service was very slow even though there were only a few occupants in the restaurant. We had reservations at 7:45pm. They were out of 4 items and the desert we wanted. The food we were served was not cooked to par, including the appetizer. It was like we received the last of whatever food they had left. We won't be dining here again, not the best experience.

Got there about 6 mins before reservations. They seemed a little busy. Got to the table maybe 5/8mins after reservation. Ion like waiting.. that’s why I make reservations.. but it’s cool.. Food and drinks took a little time to get out but everything was good and hot when it did come. … wasn’t a fan of the butter wit the hush puppies but the puppies were good by themselves

First-time visitors. Food pretty good: clam chowder great, calamari overly breaded, fish and chips delicious. Drinks very good. Service mostly well-meaning, but hopelessly chaotic (post-pandemic staffing problems most likely). Don't know that we'd risk a second visit.

Was a little disappointed that for a big whiskey/bourbon place they didn’t have the correct ice for whiskey/bourbon drinks. Instead of one big ice cube, we got a handful of tiny ice. Disappointing.

My wife and a friend had the full version of fish and chips and they were excellent! They even served "malt vinegar" with their orders. I had the crab cakes with grilled asparagus and both items were excellent. The crab cakes were two of the best I have had in years, as mostly, if not almost all, was crab meat, with no observable fillers. The asparagus was grilled perfectly with the right amount of oil and vinegar on top. The service by a younger (late 20s or early 30s) Hispanic female was outstanding! Resulted in an excellent tip for her too.

Understaffed. Service was extremely slow - and waiter clearly let our drinks sit on bar for a very long time before serving them (ice virtually all melted in mine so it was unsatisfactorily watery - wife’s mimosa was room temperature). Food was great. I had to go find waiter for our check 15 minutes after we finished eating. Usually a great spot but very disappointing today.

We frequent this restaurant last year and decided to go back especially for the Beans and Rice-always a great favorite! Ordered the Fish and Chips, however, substituted the Chips for Beans and Rice! When the ordered arrived, the Beans and Rice came in a cup, (1/4 cup of Beans and Large scoop White Rice)! The portion of the Beans were embarrassing! The Beans and Rice were lukewarm and the Fish was near cold in the center! I don’t know who the Chef was that day but the food was nasty and so disappointing! The recipe for the Beans has changed tremendously! My husband ordered Fish and Chips as well- he couldn’t eat the Chips-they were flooded with so much “Salt”! The cooking and preparation of the food has gone down drastically - can’t our waste money on tasteless prepared food - need to be corrected!

Our third time here did not disappoint. The grilled oysters are great. I recommend trying the Thai chili butter sauce. The clam chowder is outstanding and a meal in itself. The traditional lobster roll got a serious thumbs up. We haven't had anything that wasn't great (except perhaps the coleslaw which is fresh but could use some vinegar). All of the seafood is well prepared. The only ding on this visit was our server. He was adequate just not overly attentive. He had to be asked a couple of times to bring something. Give Whiskey and Oyster a try.

The “mask off” was phenomenal! Everyone in our party ordered that drink. The lobster grilled cheese was life changing. The service was off. Every time we asked for something like “condiments, refill etc” we were done eating the entree before these items would arrive. Otherwise, it was a delightful experience. The patio was beautiful.

The service was not up to standard that I usually get from this restaurant. It appears that the servers did not know what tables they had, I was constantly interrupted by a different server, and even with all these servers my drinks and meal was very slow to receive. What a mess!
