What Our
Guests Say

Every bite tells our story. Every review makes it even better.

  • “The warm lobster roll with garlic butter is the best I've had on the west coast. Being from the northeast, I've had plenty a Maine lobster roll and this roll was generously filled with fresh, large chunks of lobster & claw meat and NOT overcooked or rubbery. The bread was also really high quality, dense, just sweet enough, and perfectly toasted.”

Juicy tender lobster on the upmost perfect buttery toasted roll seasoned but not over seasoned. I have never seen a crab roll with big pieces of king crab. Absolutely delicious.”
