My husband and I had dinner her tonight, it was fabulous. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service exceptional, and the meal wonderful. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, the best I've ever had. I got the haddock and scallops baked with bread crumbs in a light lemon wine sauce, my husband got Veal Cacciatore, he ate the whole thing which he never does, he said the pasta was great too. My came with spinach which I don't like, so they substituted oven roasted potatoes, outstanding. My husband go a cannoli for dessert, he said it was better than Mike's in the North End. Recommend highly.

The restaurant is not fancy or modern but very clean and well kept. We were seated in less than 10 minutes. Our server Matt couldn't have been any more friendly, prompt and knowledgeable without being over the top. He arrived with what he stated were homemade potato chips and they were umm umm good. He suggested the Mike Ryan's Margarita and walked us through the drink menu. The menu had quite a variety from burgers to chicken, steak and seafood. We chose one entree from the specials menu and the other from the house menu. Fried sea scallops (special)with fries and coleslaw and the St. Louis BB'Q Ribs. The scallops were large and fresh as described and there was too much for my wife to finish. My ribs were fall off the bone delicious. They had the most wonderful Chipotle BB'Q sauce I have ever had and they too seemed home made with a slight smoky flavor. We enjoyed coffee with our dessert which wrapped up a wonderful night out. Although this place is new, they obviously get it.

This restaurant serves breakfast and lunch. Everything is fresh and home-cooked. One of my favorites is the chicken filo pie with fresh carrots.

Took my wife and family there this past Sunday for Mother's Day. We waited an hour and this is the first restaurant that I have ever waited an hour for and it was so good, it is worth a 4 hour wait. The corned beef hash was homemade, crispy and perfect. I raise my cup to the owners. The only thing they really need to change is making the place bigger.

Excellent for breakfast (try the Greek omelet and homefries or the specialty quiches), great for lunch- burgers, chili, chowda, homemade soups, sandwiches. Really wonderful dinners- Friday and Saturdays- Prime Rib, BLT salad with house bleu cheese dressing, weekly specials are out of this world. Seafood, beef, lamb, chicken, each week something unique and delicious.

As many know Todd's been closed for a year and a half, and as a frequent customer I have always enjoyed the food. I must say one of my favorite. Well the place looks great. I wish the food was the same. What happened to the old Olive's. The menu limited, small portions, pricey, and a charge there great bread, which is terrible. Todd better do something quick or close the doors.

Hello Mr. Whitley. We sure enjoy your dining program on WRKO. We would like to share our thoughts concerning our favorite of all restaurants. The food is scrumptious, the service is unbeatable and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. My wife's favorite is the seafood medley. I always gravitate to the flame broiled filet mignon topped with bourbon cream sauce. Please ask your listeners to check out the photos and complete menu on the web site: www.ship-to-shore.com. It is well worth a ride from the Boston area. The owner, Kevin Murray has owned and operated this superb dining establishment for 13 years. He has a large, loyal following. He is ever present at the Restaurant, and much of his success is due to his never waning excitement and enthusiasm in the planning and preparation of excellent meals.
