Came here for a relaxing lunch only to be completely disappointed by the food. There is hardly any lobster in the lobster roll. Mariana was our server and while we at first got a friendly impression from her, we soon figured out how rude she was being to her poor coworkers who looked visibly stressed. It was also strange how there were so many servers there but for some reason Mariana was the only one that seemed to be waiting on tables? Something is definitely fishy with the management here…may have to look into how the employees are treated here. The restaurant experience to me means nothing if its at the hands of people in an unethical work environment.

Huge outdoor area, covered deck so almost every seat has a good view of the water. Food was very good too, the oysters, crab cake, and scallop risotto were all fantastic. Large variety of food options - something for everyone!

To start, the at sphere was perfect. There were people catching up, families enjoying their meal and couples laughing over cocktails. You could be dressed up or go casual. The crab dip was a great choice for an appetizer and our main meals were amazing. My husband is allergic to some of the foods in the dish he chose and they were able to switch it out with no issue. The deck was great for looking at the water but be prepared to be warm during the day! There are umbrellas but in our particular spot, it did not help. We got right in and had no reservation, it was busy but service was fast!

This was convenient to where we were staying. The food was average at best. They seemed to be more interested in serving a lot of people than serving quality food. I had seafood paella which was disappointing. It listed chicken in the description, but it had more chicken than seafood. The clams in it were terrible. Other meals had done good points, but lacked detail which would have made them better.

We just had the same experience with the bread and mussels. We asked for more bread to dip in our amazing, delicious mussel broth and they said NO more bread! We had to order flat bread and it wasn’t great. Come on, Red 36! You can do better with your bread. What’s the big deal!
