Gift Tips

  • Try the Snow Crab leg pot during the Monday/Tuesday crab special — it’s a great value and showcases their fresh crab preparations.
  • Order the cream of crab soup or New England clam chowder as a starter to sample the restaurant’s family recipes.
  • Ask for Amanda, Gabby, or Amy when available — servers mentioned by name are noted for attentive, speedy service.
  • Save room for dessert: the chocolate lava cake with ice cream is a popular finish for date nights.
  • If you’re going to watch a game, pick a table near one of the many large HD TVs and enjoy the lively atmosphere with cocktails from the full bar.
