I was there the other day with my brother and his girlfriend and my 4 year old son. The food was so good!! The wait was pretty long so we sat at a hightop table to get service immediately, the service was quick my brother even ended up dropping his food almost immediately after getting it and the customer service was really good they immediately replaced it for free, there is beautiful scenery overall had a really good experience there!

I was there during the Sail Boston event so they were pretty busy. I ordered steamed clams and when they came out they were at room temperature. I complained and the very concerned waitress got me another order. They were absolutely delicious. Interestingly even the couple of clams I had from the cold plate were delicious also. Rated it 4 only because of the cold delivery and I suspect that was because they were so busy.

The view is incredible. The atmosphere is nice. Great place to have a drink. Oysters were small and at 2.75 per not even sure what kind. Ehh! Ahi tuna tacos were so delicious but so small. King Crab great way over priced. We're from north of Boston. I guess that's what you're paying for. I guess you can say it's a torist trap.
