I really love the parklick for this restaurant. it is comfortable, cozy and the food is truly excellent seafood. the waiter really does a great job of letting you know what the dishes are and sells them just by giving a mouth watering description the specials. the night we went was a corn chowder that the description sold me instantly. lovely oysters delicious crab. the food really outstanding
