Paid $40 for a small seafood platter yesterday. Asked for half onion rings & half fries. Waiter said the chef replied "No. I'm not doing that today." (Had the place been busy, I would be understanding, but there was only one small group in the dining room, who already had their food when I sat down, and me -alonr.) So, I chose onion rings over fries and had to pay $2 extra. They were cheap, frozen, and very greasy. The platter consisted of 2 squares of fish (smaller than a deck of cards. I thought they were scollops), 2 scallops (one was very fishy and brought home for my cats), 4 teeny clams (small steamer clam size, with bellies the size of the top of my pinki finger), and a handful of tiny, popcorn shrimp with no flavor (all batter). The fish was breaded and cooked ok, but bland. I left there hungry. My waiter was training someone. They were both very nice, but I was seated in a booth, at the bar side, and their attention was at the table in the dining room side and training at the register. (They should have just seated me on that side. There was no one else in the place, except for 4 people drinking at the bar.) So, I had to wait to get their attention for drink refills (had 2 refills because they were mostly ice). Now, I understand that everything's expensive now, and that's caused prices to go up on menus, but there's a lot of price gauging going on, and the KT has a reputation for for it. If you want to charge $40 for a seafood platter, that's your prerogative, but, you sure all hell should make it a generous one. You also should be making your own onion rings (or, at least, buy a good brand and cook in hot oil), and people should be able to get half fries/rings for that price! Come on! That was my third, and last time eating there. I feel bad for tourists, who get sucked in to paying for such marginal food. [I had a lobster roll there once, that was overly expensive and *small. Another time, I had lobster bisque, with zero lobster meat, and a salad with sour/spoiled goat cheese (had to send it back (chef was pissed and sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with it, and when I didn't eat it, the waitress told me that I was lying because the bisque had filled me up, which was ridiculous. That was a couple of years ago, on St.Patrick's Day. I just thought that I'd give it one more try, since it was my birthday, every other place in town seemed busy, and I wanted a quiet dinner (with my husband out of town and being on my own).
LAST TIME!

Clams
Parking is limited but great for a Friday and Saturday night crowd. Restaurant is on the water so you get some really great views.
Service was fantastic, the ladies there were super friendly and had such a great vibe, smiles and good all around happiness! Very nice to have when dining out.
My husband and I ordered the seafood platter and the 3 course meal (Italian theme) which is called Passport To Flavor. I highly recommend that! * Ask wait staff for menu
Food came out fast, hot and delicious. The appetizer was very tasty and great for sharing. The shrimp alfredo was super scrumptious! The alfredo was thick, creamy and had a beautiful flavor. The shrimp was tossed in some kind of lemon with herbs and it went well with my meal. The seafood platter was also very tasty and the fried batter was perfect; not too soggy, not too breaded, not too burnt, just right. We finished off with pistachio cannoli's and that was soooo good!
I recommend coming here for a great meal, great views and a night of fun with some friends!

Haddock and Fries
Spent $75 and walked out starving. The Bruschetta had dried basil leaves instead of fresh. I ordered chicken parm which traditionally comes with pasta however this dish did not and instead came with a wilted salad. Had to go home and make another dinner because the $35 piece of chicken wasn’t sufficient.
