Overhyped! Beautiful old building, but the food was meh!
Best clam chowdah ever! Great historical building.
Great food at fair prices. Reservations are not the way to go; online reservations had no seating for us. We walked in and asked for open seating. The wait was not too bad - the hostess said 30-45 minutes, we were seated in about 50 minutes. We had the seafood Newberg, Boston Baked Beans, clam chowder, and broiled scrod. All were served hot and delicious. Can't wait to return.
Our waitress Stephanie was awesome. Good and customer service exceeded our expectations
We had a reservation for 5:30, we didn't get seated until around 6. The waitstaff was mediocre and the food was as well. I think they rely on being 'famous' too much and their food suffers for it. I had the lazy fisherman caserole which was overcooked lobster meat and breadcrumbs, my fiancé had sweet clams fried with French fries. Frenchfries were out of a bag and the clams were partially soggy, half fried crisp at best. This was recommended to us but we will not go back.
First time here 35 yrs ago, had to return. Special atmosphere & great food.
Tourist trap. Lobster was over cooked and greasy. Chowder was cold with little in the way of clams. However, bar tenders were excellent.
The best clams and oysters I've ever had. Great friendly staff, amazing atmosphere, a Boston must!
The beer was excellent and Jimmy at the bar can make a mean red rum fizz.
