Our server was excellent. The food was delicious! Not as loud as some restaurants so our larger group of 6 could hear each other.

New Bedford

About the restaurant

Serving fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.

Our menu focuses on local fishermen’s catch of the day, old school seafood favorites and a sprinkling of modern seafood interpretations. Menu ranges from raw bar, to warm and cold lobster rolls, baked cod, bacon wrapped scallops, bouillabaisse and grilled NY Strip.

Large bar and spectacular views of the artful New Bedford Fishing Fleet. Large covered and heated deck overlooking the fishing boats and harbor. Centrally located beside the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Ferries. Large parking lot.

And, of course, the hospitality is second to none. Service is what built the business.

The bacon wrapped scallop special literally from the red ship you can see from the restaurant was wonderful! The idea that you could purchase any amount is brilliant! Thank-you for always meeting/exceeding my expectations!
