King Neptune lived up to the hype! Everything we had to our cocktails, appetizer (seared tuna), soup (cream of crab), salad (Caesar salad, with these amazing lightly grilled, but had all the grill favor, grape tomatoes) and main course (crispy tuna and fresh catch which was grouper) was absolute perfection! Our server was top notch! We will be putting it on our return to this restaurant list!

This was my first visit to this quaint restaurant. Very good experience. The New England Clam Chowder was the best I've ever had, and the clam strips were quite delicious. Wait staff were attentive and pleasant.
