My boyfriend brought me here for the first time couple years ago, sat at "the Fat Lady" table. Had a great experience ever since every time. Now I comeback with my 9 year old daughter more than often. She orders one or two orders of steamed clams n the best Fried zucchini, she can't have enough of their clams.!! Ambiance and decorations over the Hollidays are a must see.! Service can be slow at times...but always pleasant service..
