We came all the way from Ocala, FL to visit Boston. The meal we had here was excellent. I can’t believe I’m gonna admit this, but y’all’s sweet yankee cornbread is delicious! And the clam chowder was wonderful too. Thanks so much for helping to make our trip a memorable one.

What can I say? Been serving food since 1826, so they kinda have a clue ;-) Really good for an obviously high throughput joint. Lobster was very well done and the most flavorful of the trip. Plus just cool to be in a place steeped in so much history.

Oysters were delicious, the fish was fresh and the servers were friendly and informative. Don’t be afraid to sit at the bar to converse with people from across the globe.
