The food was very good, our waiter was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is noisy but the four of us were able to eat in a private room that was much quieter. (You can request the room when you make your reservations).
But when we got back to our car we discovered a parking ticket- for $30! It was a Sunday evening, there were plenty of empty spaces,. There was no reason to be giving out tickets at that time except to gouge visitors for money. (I discovered that Plymouth gives out parking tickets 365 days of the year.) So even though the restaurant was great, we're not going back there because we don't want to risk another $30 ticket.

Because of the staff probably 3.5 stars
Like many downtown restaurant - parking can be a pain - but -
Nice atmosphere - they can open their shutter windows -
so it is almost like sitting on the street - you be the judge if that is fun or "weird" :)
Clam chowder was ok at best
Lobster salad was fairly priced
Would go back
Give it a try

I enjoyed the chicken tortilla soup for $6. It was a very generous portion. Also had the fish and chips which was more than I could eat. Very friendly wait staff. Tough to finger parking but that's understandable. No wifi.

Passing through town on our way to the Cape we happened onto Martinis and were not disappointed. The food was excellent - my husband and I had the lobster rolls which were delicious! Our picky teenage son had chicken parm which he raved about. Homemade pasta and a rich tomato sauce over tender chicken breast. The restaurant/bar itself was full of locals - and made us think of Cheers. Lots of laughter and beer. Staff was friendly and efficient. Very upbeat vibe and great food.

Our group ordered lobster rolls, chicken pesto panini and eggplant fries, all good. The server was pleasant and helpful, climbing a chair to open air conditioning vents in the room in which we were seated.
