What User likes about Dolphin:
Great food, great price. I ordered the shells of bread and the fish and chips. The Clam Chowder was delicious, perfectly fed and all serving! The fish and ships were great. Although it was under seasoned, it was fresh, fluffy and juicy. The service was super, very friendly staff. Definitely a great value for your money and appetite. View all feedback.

What Chelsea doesn't like about Dolphin:
It’s tourist attraction wharf food. Don’t be fooled by thinking it’s fresh seafood. The shrimp was frozen, very clearly and tasteless. Fish was over-fried. It’s fine to eat, but if you’re looking for fresh seafood and think you’re going to find it at the wharf, don’t. View all feedback.
