Here’s what you need to know to make the most of Happy Hour, and what dishes and drinks you should definitely try.
Grab the All-Inclusive Price Fixed Special (Monday – Wednesday)
Kick off the week with our $90 all-inclusive special, available Monday through Wednesday, which delivers a full multi-course dining experience. This prix-fixe option includes two soups or salads, an appetizer to share, two entrées, and a dessert for a memorable finish.
Recommended Picks
Soups or Salads: Start with a classic New England clam chowder, rich with fresh clams and creamy goodness, or opt for our crisp Caesar salad. Both are perfect for setting the stage for the delicious seafood ahead.
- Appetizer to Share: Popular appetizers like fried calamari or a fresh shrimp cocktail make for a satisfying introduction. The calamari, lightly battered and crispy, pairs perfectly with a refreshing squeeze of lemon, while the shrimp cocktail is served chilled with a tangy cocktail sauce.
- Entrées: For mains, consider a choice like our grilled salmon or a seafood pasta packed with shrimp, scallops, and mussels. The salmon is simply grilled to perfection with a hint of citrus, while the pasta brings a comforting, hearty touch to the meal.
- Dessert to Share: End with something sweet, like a molten chocolate lava cake or classic New York cheesecake. Both options are deliciously decadent and offer a sweet note to complete your experience
This fixed-price meal is perfect for couples or small groups wanting variety without compromising on quality. At just $90, it’s a deliciously well-rounded meal that’s hard to beat.
Savor Discounted Appetizers
Happy Hour is a great time to indulge in appetizers, especially with our discounted prices. Our oysters on the half-shell, crab cakes, and fried calamari are standout choices.
Why These Starters Are Must-Trys
Each appetizer is crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that capture the flavors of the coast. The oysters, served raw and briny, come with classic accompaniments like lemon and mignonette. If you’re looking for something warm, our fried calamari is crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a dash of sea salt to bring out its flavor. The crab cakes, loaded with sweet crab meat, are served with a tangy aioli for a delectable starter that’s perfect for sharing.
These appetizers provide a taste of our seafood expertise, and at Happy Hour prices, they’re a fantastic way to sample multiple flavors without a big commitment.
Raise a Glass With Specialty Cocktails at $9
Nothing pairs better with seafood than a crisp, refreshing cocktail, and our $9 specialty cocktails offer exceptional quality at a Happy Hour price. Whether you’re a fan of a classic Sea Breeze Martini, a bright and minty Mojito, or a unique house creation like the “Port Jefferson Sunset,” we have something to elevate your evening.
Signature Sips
Each of our cocktails is designed to pair well with our seafood selections. The Sea Breeze Martini, with its hint of citrus, brings out the briny, fresh flavors of shellfish, while the Mojito adds a refreshing note that’s perfect for pairing with fried appetizers or something spicy. Our Port Jefferson Sunset is a unique house cocktail, crafted with tropical notes to transport you straight to the seaside.
Our mixologists use only premium spirits and fresh ingredients, making these drinks a real treat at just $9 each.
Beers and Select Wines – Perfectly Paired Pours
Beer and wine lovers, rejoice! With $5 beers and select bottles of wine for $20, you can sip on local brews or fine wines that perfectly accompany our seafood selections.
Ideal Pairings
Our crisp white wines, like a Sauvignon Blanc, pair beautifully with shellfish dishes like oysters or crab cakes, while our red wines are balanced enough to enjoy with heartier seafood like lobster or grilled fish. For beer lovers, light, citrusy ales bring out the freshness of our seafood, and heartier stouts and IPAs stand up to fried or seasoned dishes.
These drinks are ideal for those who want a casual, affordable pairing that enhances the flavors of each bite.
