Frommer's Review

This convenient eatery close to the harbor specializes in seafood obtained daily from local fishermen. Diners can choose between halibut, yellowfin tuna, Atlantic sea scallops, swordfish, and salmon, and have it grilled, baked, or blackened. Lobster is always on the menu. The raw bar features oysters, littlenecks, and shrimp. There is also a less expensive fried-fish menu, a good choice for families. Upstairs, called Off Shore at Cap'n Tobey's, there's live music in season.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
