We camped here overnight and had takeout food from the restaurant. Our campsite was right on the edge of the water. Electric, water and dumping at site. Laundry machines available. $2 to wash, 2$ to dry. We watched the tide come in and the sun set . Super cool and beautiful. Lobster Rolls were our takeout food from the on site restaurant to our campsite. Absolutely terrific. The only downside is that the campsites are quite small and not at all private.

I was there the week of August 17. I don’t recall the exact date. It was the worst clam chowder and fish & chips that I ever had. The clam chowder tasted like most of the liquid had been boiled off leaving a thick grey mucky and bad tasting mess in the bowl. They forgot to bring out the main order . Apparently it was ready in plenty of time but sitting on the counter for long enough for the fish and chips to get cold. I asked for a new serving and asked that they not heat it up in the microwave. I don’t know if that is what they did but the fish batter was so hard I could barely cut it with my knife. The fish was good though and the waiters while forgetful were very nice.

Amazing lobster rolls ! Stunning view from the back deck of the water, and lots of parking for large vehicles. The inside is beautifully decorated too ! The only downside was the service - the lady at the front was very uninterested in her job, forgot our order (so our fries arrived cold), and was very off-putting. We would still recommend a visit as the lobster rolls were the best we had on our three week vacation out east.

Came all the way from Montreal to be treated like trash. The service is horrible. Didn’t even try the food. Got up and left with some dignity. I drove over 7 hours and was so happy to get here to be mistreated. Do NOT recommend. If I could give ZERO starts, I would.

Hands down the best Lobster I've ever eaten! Had some escargot for an entree, and they were wonderful. The lobster itself was so tasteful and tender, I was going "Mmmh!" with every bite. My girlfriend who doesn't even eat seafood tried it and liked it (that says a lot). Highly recommend this place if you want some tasty local seafood!
