What People Are Saying
from Google"Eventide The building is clean and has a pretty, modern interior. Customer service was fine nothing particularly warm, but not rude either, just neutral. We came on a Friday around 5 p.m., and the restaurant was surprisingly empty with only two other tables occupied. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated quickly. However, booths are only available if you have a prior reservation. I ordered the lobster stew ($23), which was very small about 8 ounces. Flavor-wise, it was good: lots of mushrooms, a few large chunks of lobster, and a taste closer to coconut curry rather than tomato. It’s not creamy, which I didn’t mind, but the portion felt extremely small for the price. I’d estimate there was about one ounce (or less) of lobster. We also tried the clam chowder ($17 for 8 ounces). This was very liquid and not creamy at all, tasting mostly like potatoes which there were plenty of. We found only one whole clam; I expected diced clams, so that was disappointing. One thing that really stood out was the automatic 5% charge added to the bill, regardless of group size or order amount. The receipt states this goes toward adjusting kitchen staff wages. On top of that, you’re still expected to tip your server, which is fine but combined with the extra charge, it didn’t feel justified given the portion sizes and overall experience. Paying $23 for essentially lobster broth doesn’t make the added fee feel reasonable. Lastly, parking is not easy to find near this location."
"I can’t recommend this place enough! We LOVED our waitress Zoe, so helpful with all the recommendations and such a great and joyful person. Overall we had a perfect lunch and the lobster roll was the best of our life (I also liked that it wasn’t giant as I always see in America). Even the desserts, which were soft serve and hand apple pie, were amazing. I’m very happy I decided to come here. For what regards the prices, I think they reflect the quality, and compared Europe, the oyster’s prices were lower!"
"Their clam chowder isn’t like most others — it’s not thick, but light and soupy. The style is very similar to the one at Hog Island Oyster Co. in San Francisco. The lobster roll looks small, but it’s packed with meat. I really enjoyed it."
"Best clam chowder I’ve had in years! Lobster rolls are smaller than traditional size but super delicious. I prefer cold mayo ones, crispy bread roll full of lobster meat 🦞 Fried calamari was also amazing."
"Everything was mid and salty as hell. The oysters were ok but it’s hard to mess up oysters unless you’re serving straight up dead ones. The clam chowder was loaded with the ocean, too fishy, but was salvaged by the pork bits. The scallop gyoza was just 90% gyoza dough with a single small scallop in the middle. The lobster roll was just loaded with salt, it would’ve been better if it didn’t try to clog our arteries. Now, the service… one server gave us an extra table to hold the oyster plate and another one came to take the table back, quite aggressively too. Not to mention, that same server also acted so condescending to me, mansplaining to me what a dozen is as if I don’t already know. Such a whatever experience 😒😒😒😒 I would say to avoid at all cost. Update: after 1h30 rest and a drink, I’m still thirsty from all the salt they crammed into their food, beginning to suspect they have a salt sponsor."
