Food, service, atmosphere, history ... Incredible ... going back tomorrow night!!!
The food, atmosphere, and service were one of the best experiences I’ve had. Keep up the outstanding service.
The food was amazing. We had grilled oysters-it was our first time trying it-and they were out of this world. The oysters were really cool because there were about 3 oysters in each shell. We got the fish cakes and they were good too. We also got mussels and they were delicious. The Seafood platter was just alright. The dining experience was overall very pleasant because the waiter was super nice and the place looked and was very historical. We will definitely come back here!!
We were seated very quickly and the wait staff were very friendly. I ordered the fried clam platter, which was delicious. My husband ordered the fisherman’s platter. That was a disappointment! There was ONE each of a fried oyster & fried clam and a piece of fish. The rest of the plate was filled with frozen calamari & frozen French fries.
I wanted to like it. I tried but it was so super crowded, the food was nothing to write home about, and so overly priced for very small portions.
Amazing meal. Outstanding staff. Our waitress Lin even carried my Grandson Noah around so my daughter could finish her meal. Worth the trip from anywhere!! Try the stuffed Lobster!!
Overrated and OVERPRICED. Small Very Small portions. 31.95 for 4 Very small fried scallops and three medium sized shrimp. Oh and it comes with NOTHING. 15.95 for shrimp cocktail consisting of five small previously frozen shrimp. We are not people that are sticker shocked by food as we travel all around the world but I hate paying top dollar to walk away hungry. It’s a tourist trap! There’s better seafood around. Atlantic Fish for example. Don’t be fooled here.
We loved the customer service and the seafood was fresh!
Always a fav when I travel to Boston. My spot is as the bar for oysters, chowder and a beer. What else could you want!
