Unique experience of being able to pick out fresh seafood and have it prepared several different ways for you. However the price is very expensive for the terrible service and ambiance. We were seated right away and provided a menu and tea. After that we were ignored until we asked several people how to order food. One server told me to order it at the counter along with all the take out people. Why am I sitting for dine in service if we have to stand in line? Finally, we got someone to take our order and the food came out relatively quick but in pieces when they were ready, rather than around the same time. So we got our clams with black bean sauces first and since everyone was hungry, we started eating that and then got veggies, then our crab dish and then noodles and rice all at different times. We ordered a live king crab prepared three ways. While the crab tasted good, it was all a little salty. The crab was huge but I wasn't expecting to pay $450 for it. So with the 30% processing fee charge, our entire dinner came out to $750 for 6 people. Paying this much would be worth it if we'd gotten decent service and didn't have to keep chasing people down for simple things like water or to pay our check (my husband finally had to stand in the "to go" cashier line just to get our expensive bill paid).
We could have eaten at a fine steak and seafood restaurant with wine, apps and dinner and great service for what we paid for this meal... Meanwhile, the ambiance here is a total chaotic fish market with servers too busy to give you any kind of service and a hefty price tag. Seriously, save the money and go to someplace like Crown One next time.

Butler's Flat Clam Shack
2023 Aug 18
Was in the neighborhood and figured since I was near the shore to have lunch at a place with ambience. Butler's Flat Clam Shack was ambience along with good food. Fortunately, there wasn't too long of a line when I got there though ordering took a bit long as there is just one person at the window taking orders. Upon initial inspection, the lobster roll looked really small for the price but it was absolutely delicious and actually pretty filling. My kids got grilled cheese and the kids burger which they were fine with. The clam chowder was good, nothing to write home about yet we finished it. Nothing beats eating fresh seafood with a water view and the staff were all kind and attentive. I saw one asking a couple of women who had finished their lunch and were just chatting to politely let someone else have the table which made sense since there were people literally standing around with trays of food and nowhere to sit. This tells you how good the food is. I will definitely be back to try something else from the menu.
Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu Center

I knew I wanted my kids to learn Japanese Jujitsu as that’s one of the best methods for self defense and chose this dojo based on its stellar reviews. After almost a year of having my kids attend, I can say that the reviews are not over exaggerated. This is a wonderful program with a focus on positive behavior and building confidence. I don’t know how they do it but the Senpais bring the same positive energy day after day, week in and week out. They also offer several special events which unfortunately we haven’t been able to participate in due to scheduling but they all seem super fun and is a nice add on for anyone looking for energy burning activities on a Friday night. Highly recommend this dojo.
