my mom went there with her sister in law. Saw 2 tables for 4 availible. Hostess would not seat them in a table for 4 in case a party of 4 came in. They were told that they would have to wait for a table for 2. They could not understand the reasoning for this. They ended up leaving and will never go back!! Posted by: Beth at July 29, 2008 04:38 PM I am finally fed up with this place. The food is okay and the waitstaff is good. However, after going there as a local at least monthly for more than 10 years and never being acknowledged by the owners or management, I am done with this place, forever. Big deal--Their Italian fish soup is good. Posted by: bill at March 22, 2008 09:02 PM Gee. I ate there for the first time the other night and thoroughly enjoyed the cup of creamy haddock chowda and the grilled-scallops skewer we shared for apps. For dinner, I had a hefty chunk of grilled salmon atop a bed of fresh greens that was very very tasty. Washed it all down with a mug o' Ipswich Ale and chased it with fresh-brewed decaf. Evidently, it's the luck o' the draw and we hit on a good night. Posted by: Baba Aus at October 3, 2007 01:36 PM Food is good, especially the fish soup, and NO DEEP FRY! The seasonal young waitresses are very nice, but the long time waitstaff is rude, rude, rude! Typical New England, we don't need your business attitude. I only go there because the choices are so limited, but would drop them like a hot potato...good fish soup or not. Posted by: bill at February 27, 2007 09:57 AM Oh, and if anyone from HP is reading this, please consider getting a deep fryer. Fries with your burgers would be so much better than chips. Come here for the beer (cold), burgers (charred) and oysters (fresh). Nice and consistant fare if you stick to these. I have to agree with others that the salads aren't great/ need updating and the foil grilled dinners are not a good idea: no grill flavor, presentation is lacking and seafood is too easily overcooked, what's the point? Very friendly atmosphere and service. Dessert selection is limited, but I've always loved their Low Tide Pie. Posted by: MJ at February 9, 2006 08:09 PM Always good and consistent. Nothing fried here. Best Italian Fish Soup anywhere...spicy hot, too! Posted by: vinnie at September 13, 2005 10:55 PM The Italian Fish Chowder is awesome!!! I sure do miss the Spicy Fish Soup. I moved from Gloucester 12 years ago and still remember and miss the Spicy Fish Soup Posted by: Janine at July 15, 2005 01:55 PM I have been here a few times recently and I am sorry to say that I am not impressed. The menus hardly has a selection. The portions are pretty small for the price. It's a cute, local spot and has a fun little patio and the services is always kind and prompt, but if you are looking for great food and drinks I would choose elsewhere.
