    We've been to Nauti Lobstah a number of times & everything we've tried has always been great. They have a seafood platter for under $20 that has clams, shrimp, 2 kinds of catfish + New Bedford scallops (the best) w really good sides like creamed spinach or garlic potatoes. Their onion rings are really good. Even if you order the smallest lobster roll, you get huge pieces of fresh lobster. For ppl who live in the area, this is the old Catfish House, a 100yo train depot. Very quaint homey interior & the staff is exceptionally nice. Def give them 5/5⭐ & recommend you try it.

    What can be said about the chef?! My family owned a restaurant for over 40 years. My father worked with my grandfather and I got to work with mine when I was old enough. It's not an easy business. To see the chef not only accepting to comp the rolls but to add a cash prize on top of it, and sending some more free food is really heart warming. Of course with all the views it's a good promo but you can see that the guy is just genuinely enjoying seeing people being amazed by the food he cooks. Keep it up chef!
