"I wanted more from Mr. Fish. He had high hopes built, but they fell short due to not taking that extra step to perfect a lobster roll. I want to preface that I went out for a work lunch so price was no worry, if I was here on my own the prices in my eyes are high. Lobster roll prices were around $28 for a small, $50 something for a medium YIKES, and $75 for a large?! The server was great and gave us a heads when we initially said medium lobster rolls. There was a lot of meat in the small that filled me just fine. The vibe there was a bit dark for a mid day lunch, and the booths i found tight and I'd like to think I don't take up a ton of room (on a good day). I'm a lobster roll fiend so gave it a shot. The bun was good, nice and toasty how I like it. Meat was really fresh actually and there was a good amount of it. The issue was there was nothing on it no seasoning, no Mayo, just meat. For me I need a little something, something ya know? And then the lettuce I could've done without it... it tasted old. Coleslaw tho... LIT! Idk if I'd go back on my own accord or budget, it didn't thrill me and wasn't a cool vibe or anything, but if works paying, sure!"

Excellent service, but the meal was significantly overpriced. This was my first and only visit.

This restaurant has great food! We have visited this place 3-4 times so far and it has been wonderful. The wait staff is nice and the restaurant is clean. The lobster bisque was delicious! The tuna poke is delicious for an appetizer and I love the haddock maria as an entree!

If you're looking for a quiet seafood dinner that doesn't offer great value, this place might be just what you want. It's quiet because the restaurant is nearly always empty, which reflects the quality of the food — or lack thereof. With such high prices, they've set the stage for failure. View menu

So very sad to find out that tonight is closing night in North Reading. We understand the landlord raised the rent astronomically without care for saving an institution or the jobs it provided. How many people gonna be working in the bank? 4, 6? All in the name of greed, I guess. We have always found the food here to be fresh and awesome! Best oysters EVAH! It's going to be quite a long ride to North Andover and not very often. We will miss you all! Hope the staff finds good jobs.

I also requested utensils through the app but didn't receive any—no utensils or even a napkin. It was strange because the restaurant was quite empty at the time, so there was plenty of opportunity for them to get the order right. If they had paid more attention to the details, I would have likely become a repeat customer. I may have lost a few dollars because of the missing fries, but their lack of attention makes me concerned about other aspects, like the freshness and expiration dates of their ingredients. Overall, it wasn’t a good impression.

I absolutely love their appetizers! They have some really creative menu items, like the disassembled crab Rangoon dip. It's not only fun to eat, but also perfect for sharing. I also tried the ahi tuna club sandwich, which was quite unique—I’ve never seen ahi tuna served in a sandwich before. It was surprisingly good, with a fantastic flavor that wasn't fishy at all, and the tuna was cut into a nice, thick slice. I do think it could benefit from some spicy mayo or dressing, as the sandwich was a bit dry and ketchup just doesn’t pair well with ahi tuna. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for lunch! View menu

So growing up in Gloucester means I'm very picky where I get my Seafood. My wife wanted to go here. I was very skeptical, then I ate. We had the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer. Sorry. I forgot the picture because we ate it so fast LOL. I haven't had jambalaya in a long time. Now just to let you know, I'm always skeptical at any restaurant that advertises something spicy or at least with a kick. This jambalaya did not disappoint. My wife had the big scallops. And I was more than happy to assist her in finishing the dish. The scallops for baked perfectly. Breading was not overpowering but rather just right, almost tempora Style

The food arrived within 5 minutes, which made sense since there was only one active table, and the other two groups had already finished their meals. The 5 oz small portion was decent, definitely more generous than the lobster roll I had recently in Las Vegas. The fries were crispy and the coleslaw had just the right amount of tanginess. The lobster fell out of the roll, which was cut deep (not shallow)—both positives! While my taste buds might have appreciated a bit more butter, my arteries are probably thankful for it. Service was good, and the food was satisfactory. However, the lobster roll could have used a bit more flavor. On a side note, they offer a seasonal pumpkin spice version, wh...

"The restaurant is very nice, we had great service, and for the most part, the food was really good. Our servers were very attentive, the drinks were excellent, and the appetizers were really tasty. My dinner, however, was not worth the money we paid for it. For apps, we ordered the Bacon, and the Antipasto. The Antipasto had a perfect amount for sharing, everything on it was fresh and delicious. The Bacon was (to my surprise amazing! I don 't know what I was expecting, but it wasn 't the perfectly cooked and seasoned (with cherries! almost pork belly 'ish slices we got it was so delicious. I ordered the night 's special we were told it was an 8oz filet, lobster tail, broiled brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. What I got was an 8oz filet that was overcooked on the outside and slightly pink on the inside (I ordered med rare , a very tiny overcooked lobster tail, and 3 sprigs of asparagus. The plate was bare and it cost 90. I don 't mind spending for a great dinner, but for 90, it should be darn near perfect, and this was nowhere near that. I 've had better steak at Texas Road house. (I will interject here to add that I did not complain or ask to take it back I was having such a great night, I chalked it up to an off night for the chef . My husband, however, got the Lobster Fra Diavolo, which he loved. He said it was delicious, although I question the spaghetti is homemade as advertised (it did not taste homemade . For dessert, we got the donuts w/ 3 sauces to go they were way overcooked or the oil desperately needs to be cleaned (see pic . So overall, a really nice dining experience. Really nice ambiance, excellent service, great drinks and appetizers. Maybe the chef had an off night, or maybe the 'special ' was just the dregs they had left in the kitchen., but I 'll let this one pass since it was our first time there and everything else was excellent. I will definitely go back and try something else on the menu, but next time I want a steak, I 'll go to Pellana much better quality steak. (sorry no pics of the meals, I was too busy eating bacon to remember to take pics :"
