When you are seated, the professional, tuxedo-clad and attentive waitstaff present you with a tray of crudite and a basket of assorted rolls and homemade breads. The Jolly Fisherman menu features a wide variey of fresh fish as well as lobsters, shrimp, scallops and crab. In addition to the seafood selections, meat and chicken entrees are first rate. Beyond the printed menu, daily specials might include Cajun Swordfish, Sesame Seared Tuna or Caribbean Style Shrimp.

The Jolly Fisherman fills a unique niche. Their food is straight forward.
