I took a boiled lobster and I was really disappointed , it was not well cooked at all. I was so happy to go to this famous place but really disappointed for the quality .

Food was pretty good. I had the crab legs which I highly recommend. Had the hot crab dip as an appetizer and it didn't have much taste nor was it hot. Sat at the bar only because if you wanted to sit at a high top in the bar area to watch football, you had to order at the bar anyways. Lots of wind as the place is all open and on the water. Noticed some of the bartenders drinking/sampling things during their shift behind the bar. Probably won't eat there again.

I'm from New Jersey but whenever I'm visiting Boston I stop in. The Buffalo shrimp is to die for and that is just one of their delicious appetizers.

Food was good but the service was awful!!!! never received app plates after asking. Had to get up 3 times to track down our server. Oyster shot was missing the oyster!!!! then the server argued with me saying he SAW the bartender put it in. Asked a bus boy to send a manager, never came. dishes and empty cups were never removed so we brought them to the kitchen to make room to eat. will not be returning! So many other great places to eat in Boston
