Best WLM Reviews
Very popular, very small place that uses some high quality seafood. They only take reservations for parties of more than two. We had to wait for a table to become available. Parking lot is tight. Nice outside patio. Service is fast and friendly. Bread basket contains very good garlic & butter cheese bread. The bread is slices of their quality hoagie rolls.
Our overall experience was average. The best dish we had was the tomato basil soup (with surprise cheese). Clams casino appetizer was not well prepared. It was just small clams with some toppings – bacon, and red peppers, some of which were charred black.
The stuffed flounder special was not great, though I did finish it all. Flounder was cooked too much I think – not moist or flakey. Crab meat stuffing did not have any distinct flavor. It was served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes had very good flavor, though they were lumpy, and not quite heated all the way through. Green beans were not crisp or fresh tasting, but not bad.
The Broccoli Rabe & Rock Shrimp over pasta had good flavor, and the rock shrimp were of a higher quality than you would typically find in local restaurants. I don’t think they were quite cooked enough though. The pasta was overcooked, and the dish was swimming in way too much olive oil. A deep puddle of leftover olive oil remained, and we would have appreciated the promised refill of our bread basket, which unfortunately was forgotten.
When we first arrived, the front dining room was full of smoke. That happened once again while we were eating. You would not want to be seated in the front when this happens — smoke levels were unhealthy.
Dessert here is nothing special. Overall this place is worth another visit to try some other dishes, experience their high-quality seafood, and see what makes it so popular.
Hand-cut ribeye, FO and Cooper on a seeded semolina roll. They source the rolls from a NY bakery and receive them 80% done. They toast to finish. Beef was medium coarse, seasoned, and left juice (not grease) on the plate. Everything was blended. I think I now have about 15 cheesesteaks in my "top 10" and this certainly made the list. Crunchy, yet chewy roll held up until the last bite. Beef tasted like BEEF. A killer lunch (especially at $15.) Potato "straws" included were fresh and crispy, but had to try the Hand-cut fries. They came unsalted, and got cold quickly (our table was directly below an AC vent AND a fan) but were definitely top-of-the-line spuds. Staff was uber-friendly and happy to chat for a half-hour. Server Kent refilled our drinks without being asked. Every staff member who passed asked if everything was OK. Pizza looked incredible, but we were stuffed. I'm guessing these were 12 oz. and just right. Worth the 45-minute drive, and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. After all, it's essentially a BYOB Italian seafood house. Tried the hand-breaded clam strips. Better than HoJo in their prime. Brisket is a work of art... unlike you've ever tasted.
Wow, what an experience! We were able to secure a reservation for a Thursday night, which was difficult. We enjoyed the ambiance, the staff, and most importantly, our meal!
I had the lobster bisque for a starter, my husband had the clam chowder and our table shared large Caesar salads. We ordered the bangin shrimp and shared it with the table as well. For our main meals, 4 out of 5 of us had the all-you-can-eat mussels and my MIL had the fish and chips. All was incredible and the freshest seafood we've had in a long time.
We had a fabulous experience and are grateful to the staff and owners for doing a wonderful job. We will 100% come back again and again.
Update: We ended up going for lunch a few weeks after 1st review and it was just as enjoyable. The wait staff was a delight and we were treated like family. The cheesy bread is to die for and we enjoyed our calamari app along with the best gnocchi alfredo I've had in my entire life. My husband had the shrimp & lobster pasta with vodka sauce and it was incredible as well. This is becoming a frequent spot to dine. Can't wait to try more of what they have to offer!
Our first time visiting was yesterday for lunch and honestly the restaurant blew my expectations out of the water.
Firstly, it was smaller than I thought it would be but absolutely stunning on the inside. The atmosphere was inviting while also feeling comfortable, and the decor was spot on.
Secondly, we were welcomed with huge smiles from the staff who were gracious and helpful throughout the entirety of our meal. It wasn’t just a server/customer interaction, it felt more personal and human. The attitude of these gentlemen were working for good customer rapport and securing long term relationships instead of just a paycheck.
Thirdly, the food was delicious. I personally do not eat seafood, but everyone else at my table said wonderful things about the flavor and texture of the various dishes they ordered. The staff was diligent about making sure we had fully stocked cups and frequently made sure we were satisfied with our meals. We were also offered an exquisite dessert tray that was far more delicious than they looked.
We are absolutely going to visit again due to the wonderful hospitality and amazing food. This one is in our top 10!
Omg, EVERYTHING was awesome! Tender calamari, even the garlic bread was above and beyond any I've had anywhere else. Highly recommend Peppinos combo, the pizza with seafood, and the chicken Marsala. Better make reservations, it's cozy and busy, for good reason.
Been going here for several years. The food has always been very good. It’s the only place I will get oysters.
They need a better system for reserving tables, but since the place is so small I get how difficult that must be. We had to wait quite a while for our table- 1/2 hr. and then the party after us had to wait as well. However I wouldn't want anyone to get rushed either out as others have experienced.
The service used to be better. I ordered mussels from the appetizer menu and specifically stated I wanted it as my meal since we had also ordered appetizers. the mussels came with the appetizers and was cold by the time everyone was served their meal. I’ve don’t that before with no issue. There were other requests aka hot sauce that were never fulfilled.
I still recommend it and will return hoping service improves as well.
Stopped at this place on a recommendation by friends. It is a small family owned Italian restaurant. It had all the qualities that chains and newer places lack. Starting with entering this wood fired pizza/seafood place they are welcoming. The owner and the service leave you feeling pampered. The food was exceptional...all fresh ingredients but more than that you can tell they use their generational handed down family recipes. Their seafood prices were more than affordable especially for the portion sizes. The pizza was one of the best I have had in the area. The garlic butter sauce used with the clams was bagged to go for me otherwise I may have lost my manners and drank it at the table. Highly recommend.
Stopped in last minute without a reservation with my wife and 2 daughters. Staff cleared a table for us right away. Clams Casino were recommended by a regular. They were the best I have ever had. Homemade pasta, seafood pizza, and chicken Marsala all hit the mark. Service is super friendly and welcoming. So happy we stopped in and we will be back!
