We booked the “Ultimate Boston Food Tour: Freedom Trail and North End” where this was one of our stops. We had many stops alongside the way, but this was one of our favorites. They have two types of Sam Adams beer that are only served in Boston. Everything was tasty!! … More
Nice place to visit. Clam chowder was good, lobster roll and the whole lobster was good too! Maybe not the best oyster we got. But still 5 stars. Decor is absolutely amazing!
My wife and I did the tourist thing and went here while visiting Boston. It was relatively empty when we came for lunch so the service was pretty quick. Our server was very nice and friendly, she made recommendations on what we should order. The brought us some cornbread to start, it was super soft and moist. It wasn't to sweet which I liked. We got the clam chowder to start and I ended up getting the lobster mac and cheese for my entree. My wife got the lobster ravioli. Overall the meal was pretty good but to us the decor on the wall was the coolest part of the meal. Definitely a cool place to see while in Boston but definitely more for tourists I think.
