Really good Seafood!

During our stay, I had the seafood chowder, and it was simply amazing. Packed with fresh fish, mussels, and clams, the rich and buttery cream made it one of the best dishes I've ever tasted.

However, light sleepers might find the noise from the bar area bothersome at night, which affected my overall experience a bit. The room's decor was charming, but it did show signs of wear in some areas.
