Best KPortal Reviews
We went in a Saturday with a big group without reservation and they were able to accommodate us, but I recommend to prior reserve a table. The service is really good, they are very fast and gentle. The drinks are fantastic. The food was ok, I missed more flavor and I found lobsters very soaked in oil. Fish and chips were amazing, steak and pasta too! There is a parking valet from the restaurant for free.
I decided to come early Saturday before the crowd and the congestion. Haven’t been here in so long they still provide valet parking. They also have new Benches & Tables in the front of the restaurant if you prefer outside seating in the summer months. Providing customers with Ordering window for To Go orders. I got to sit in my favorite booth since it wasn’t crowded yet when we arrived. I haven’t been here for years and honestly couldn’t wait to enjoy my nice New England clam chowder. Yet it was disappointing not creamy and thick like I remember it also very bland and watery. We both had the broiled lobster special. Unfortunately my lobster was very mushy. The claw meat was stuck to the shells and wouldn’t come out which made eating it very hard unfortunately. The texture was off like who it’s mushy lobster meat it was just left very disappointing and left still very hungry.
Food was delicious. Staff professional and courteous. Was checked on several times by wait staff. Will definitely return
A city island restaurant that's been around for a really long time. The booths & atmosphere could use a little sprucing up but the food is very good & the servers are very nice & attentive. I had the shrimp stuffed with crab meat & was pleasantly surprised at the portion for the price. I would definitely recommend.
I just came from there today 3/11... I'm so disappointed, I always order there crab cakes, there crab cakes ar usually the best! Not sure what they did but they are horrible.... this is my 4th time buying it recently and it tasted this way. I kept buying it hoping it was a phase but I'm done with that. I may still eat there but never ordering that again. Also I think they added extra mayo, it was horrible and 2 times out the last 4 times my baked potato was burnt! And no more chicken noodle soup is crazy!
I had a great experience. I was unhappy with my first order and our waitress Damarie was awesome. She very pleasantly replaced my order with the stuffed shrimp and a baked potato. I wish I'd taken a picture before I devoured my plate. The snow crab legs were huge and worth every penny.
Went here for brunch with my friends.... and it was absolutely delightful. Waitress was on point with service and we got a great deal with their lunch specials. You get an entrée with a soup or salad and side AND dessert. The complimentary garlic bread was heavenly. The price was reasonable. Don't forget to pick up a complimentary red delicious apple on your way out the door. I will definitely be back.
Good food and good pricing. Good deals for the cost.
