We used to love this place, until.....something really changed in the quality of the food and service. We were served a Caesar salad which was nothing more than lettuce and dressing. No croutons, no visible Parmesan cheese, no anchovies. Just wilted romaine and dressing. It was the beginning of a dismal meal also notable for the slow service and badly prepared food. This was about three years ago. Maybe it's changed for the better, but I'm not willing to risk it.

Been back since past review, I like the improvements and the meals were very good.

Had to burn a 25 dollar gift card, so went in, sat at the bar. ordered the gorgonzola steak tip salad. Salad was small, steak way under cooked and oh yeah- before I noticed the bartender (was very friendly) said they were out of gorgonzola so, would I like some feta. Finished the salad minus half the undercooked rubbery meat, and was on my way. Don't think Ill go back. Should've known it would suck cuz there was only one guy in the whole place right at lunch time!

I wish I had two more arms, so I could give this place four thumbs down. This place is brutal. Ordered a margharita pizza because I was scared to order any seafood. This pizza should be dough, sauce, fresh motz, basil and tomatoes. The pizza dough would've been better if you'd gotten it out of your grocer's bread aisle. It was clearly from frozen. The sauce was canned Ragu/Prego or worse. The cheese was the best part, as it was just OK. The basil was absolute comedy. It was from a shaker, like, crushed basil from a shaker. Not fresh, not big pieces; from a shaker. It's not even worth it with the half-off Groupon. This place is terrible.

Been there a few times. The food is good my problem is the decor, actually not ever the decor the furniture. When I'm paying $13 for a dinner is it too much to ask to sit in a booth that isn't ripped or duct taped. My husband got the good side of the booth it was duct taped; I guess they hadn't gotten to the other side of the booth with duct tape so i got to sit in a ripped seat with the stuffing coming out. We haven't been back and don't plan to any time soon!

The definition of mediocre. This place has no parking (even less when it snows). Be prepared to park across the street and okay human Frogger. The interior looks like someone bought a house and turned it into a restaurant, much like Jackson Square Tavern. I just get the feeling that half the restaurant is half assed. I had the fish and chips to eat, yet inexplicably received squash but no fries. When I told the server I didn't order squash and "where are the chips?" she looked at me like I had three heads. Also, the server and hostess had this tendency to hover around the table looking to clear empty plates, which is good in theory, but not when you awkwardly reach across people and generally just stand around. My parents line this place but I wouldn't come here without them.

We came here because we didn't feel like going into Boston for a Sunday lunch, so we just looked for something local on Groupon. We were seated quickly and given french bread with butter. The menu was an interesting mix ranging from fried foods to pizza and italian classics. It made me skeptical (no place can do all that and do it well!) but I thought what the heck. For starters, we ordered Clam Chowder and French Onion soup we were pleasantly surprised. They were both excellent. After that promising start, we had lofty hopes for the main dishes... and they failed horribly. I ordered the chicken marsala and it was completely flavorless. The chicken was chicken tenders (not breast) and the texture was completely gummybear-like. I asked for some grated cheese hoping to give it enough flavor to make it edible, and I was given a powdered grated cheese, like out of a Kraft shaker. Really? I ate some of the pasta and didn't take the leftovers. Hubby ordered a lobster roll and it came looking well-prepared, in a buttered New-England style roll with a pickle and a side of fries. However, the lobster was clearly canned minced meat of lower quality. They hadn't even bothered to do anything with it aside from draining it and slapping it inside the roll. No mayo, no scallions, nothing. My husband said it was okay, but I tried it and thought it as just as flavorless as my meal. Overall, not recommended. I wouldn't come back even with a Groupon.

This restaurant seems to be on its last legs. Sadly, this place has the ambiance to salvage itself. What came out of the kitchen was uninspiring. My wife made it clear to the waiter how bad the food was. He, very nicely, said that he would comp the food. We then tipped him generously. He was certainly frustrated

I have driven by this restaurant hundreds of time and wondered why I never went in...I also realized I never heard anyone talk about this restaurant - now I know why. .....Recently, I made a decision to go in to have clam chowder. I was there last night with a friend and had their Clam chowder - it was awful.......there were so FEW clams I felt like I was eating out of a can. I told the waitress and also my friend ordered the fisherman's platter and he said it tasted good, but there wasn't enough on his plate to justify the price AT ALL........he usually has (2) meals out of the platters he gets at restaurants........then we were told he is redoing the place over - my thoughts were "don't bother"..........Elaine, Rockland, MA

I ordered take-out here for the first time, it wasn't bad nor memorable. I tried their steak tips and fried haddock platters. The steak tips were mildly seasoned and I'd say were just average. The fried haddock was decent as well, lightly fried as I like. They forgot the most important part though... tartar sauce! That's on the verge of blasphemy but luckily I made some of my own with only minor grumbling. I ordered it with sautéed veggies on the side and actually enjoyed them more than the haddock. For about $30 I expected a little more bam in flavor as I can spend under $18 for the same thing at a sub shop. I'll probably try them again as they have some other entres I'd like to try that might be worth going back for, we'll see.

I live in Weymouth and purchased a Groupon for this place. Suffice to say that I am glad that I didn't pay full price. I took my son to dinner there when he was up for a visit. As another reviewer noted the parking is awful and this was a weeknight, suffice to say that it is probably three times as bad as on the weekend. My son ordered the stuffed shrimp and enjoyed it a great deal, I ordered the broiled shrimp and was sorely disappointed. I first of all had BREADING on it I was like WTF!!!??? Who does that ?? Sides were good, particularly the coleslaw. Service was okay. Overall, not worth the money.

We waited about 45 minutes after out appetizers and main dishes were ordered. When the main dishes came out, we asked about our appetizers and were told to start eating the main dishes and he'd look into it. When we explained that we didn't want to eat our appetizers after our main dishes, the server became surly and insisted that we take them since he had them there, and then accused us of "disrespecting" him. Clearly there was difficulty in the kitchen that night. However, the angry server taking it out on us really damped the pleasure of our night out with his foul attitude. It will be a long time before we go back to this place, even though it is nearby.

Well, where do I begin...Friday night 6:30, during Lent we expected it to be busy and we actually got seated within 10 minutes. That was the highlight of the visit. We sat at the table for 10 minutes before the waitress came for our drink order, We ordered our meals and it went downhill from there. My salad came right out but I quickly determined it needed more dressing. It didn't matter because the waitress was missing in action for 35 minutes. She didn't bother to check our drinks or anything else .Finally the meals arrived and the broiled scallops (coated in bread crumbs?) were raw...I don't know if the we're frozen then cooked or what but when she finally came back to check.(10 minutes) we sent them back to cook them further and it took 20 minutes more.. In the meantime I had already finished my broiled seafood casserole again, loaded with bread and cracker crumbs...My wife and I could've used a couple of stiff drinks b now but again, no service,,,We finally had to ask the hostess for our check because we couldn't find the waitress. It was an appalling experience to say the least...management should wake up

NOTE: The 2nd star is for the clam chowder. It was decent. My girlfriend is from Weymouth and as such we tried to get into Stockholder's on a weeknight. It was a two-hour wait so we settled on the UCH. I'd never been and she spoke fondly of the clam chowder. We were seated right away. It's a cozy place though the lighting above the booths was brighter than expected for the space and started to irritate the both of us after a while. You could say it was a slower night; there were three or four booths filled and the bar area was empty. It took a while for our server to take our drink and food orders which was perplexing because the place wasn't packed. I ordered the scallop carbonara with a cup of clam chowder. I was hoping to try the corn chowder but, for some reason, it was only served on Friday and Saturday nights. Weird, right? The pinot noir we ordered was decent (though a little pricier than I was expecting). The chowder was very good. What killed this place for me was the entree and the service before/after we received our food. After we ordered our entrees, it took a good forty minutes to get them. For a smaller restaurant that's simply unacceptable. And the "carbonara" sauce felt like butter-and-cheese-flavored concrete. It had a very strange texture and sat like a stone in my stomach for hours after only a couple of bites. I was also not a fan of the pea pods in the mix instead of using actual peas; they were out of place and did not mix well with the horrible sauce. Then again, I'm not sure anything would. I'm sure there are other dishes here that are better than the pasta dishes. I understand that it's a seafood place and not an Italian restaurant. Still, the dish featured scallops (thawed-out, flavorless scallops at that) and if they're going to put it on the menu, they should learn how to prepare the dish correctly. I won't go back.

Bought a groupon for this place because we wanted to try somewhere new. We were seated and our drink orders taken in a timely manner. Then someone else came and threw some bread onto the table. When our orders were finally taken, we asked for some explanation and recommendations on some of the dishes. Our waitress gave us some short, one-word answers that were not very helpful. I first tried to order the grilled swordfish, but they were out of swordfish. We were intrigued by the "spicy cucumber shrimp" so ordered those as an appetizer. I ordered the broiled shrimp and he ordered the scallops. We watched another table get served, finish their meal and have their leftovers wrapped up before our entrees came out. (Our appetizer was forgotten) When our entrees were served, I asked about the appetizer and there was no apology, just that she would check on it. It kind of seemed like because it was forgotten, that we wouldn't want it anymore. Some shrimp were brought over, but they were buffalo shrimp. We couldn't say anything because our server never came back until we were finished. No percentage taken off the bill for the mix up and our drinks were never refilled either. Glad I had the groupon so I didn't have to pay the full cost for the meal. The food was "meh" at best.

We've been here two times. The food is fine; your basic fish/burgers/salads. But the service is terrible. Rude staff who make you feel like they are doing you a favor. Not going back.

Parking is enough for about 10 cars so plan accordingly. Decor is nice although it seems more of a 1980's decor than anything current. But it is clean and comfortable. When you walk in, you enter via the bar. We were seated away from the bar but because of the "open nature" of the design you can clearly hear all of the bar patrons' conversations. Read: was there with my 8-year old daughter and hoped she didn't hear some of the "colorful" language. Granted, there was a football game on, so the crowd was a bit more boisterous than they probably would be otherwise. We got the sweet potato fries for an appetizer. They were good, but I don't think they were "home made" or anything. I don't know why I feel this way, but they looked "processed" to me. Food was OK -- not great but not terrible. However, for the price we paid for the 3 of us, the food should have been much better, which it wasn't. Seats (booths) were fairly comfortable, but again, not anything to "write home" about. Bottom line, we probably won't be going back here too soon. Like I said, it's not horrible, but not a place I'd rush back to either.

This was my first time in this restaurant, i ordered a takeout $70 worth for 3 people. very small portions, the plates weren't even half full. The cup of clamp chowder was very small. few sips with a spoon and it all gone. The Canned clamp chowder soup from a grocery store had a better taste than the one these guys sell. No I'm never going back there, and i will not recommend this place event to anyone. EditDelete
