Joe Z: Home of the fried clam strip! They're yummy and hard to get outside New England. Really, the best casual food on the North Shore. Make this your meal spot if you're going to visit nearby Castle Hill.

Noah Weiss: Perfect date spot, and you can skip the long line mostly by grabbing a seat at the bar. Oxtail marmalade on bone marrow was standout. Grilled corn, Uni bocadillo, and mussels all good too.
