Jenn VachonAugust 19, 2011Food is mediocre at best. Just get a drink instead - the colonial ale is pretty good.
LaurenMay 20, 2012Used to be good, but now the lobster tastes like ammonia and the service is slowwwww
Claire GillanOctober 26, 2014Disappointing food. Overpriced. We wasted a whole evening on this place.
Adam WishneuskyMarch 26, 2011Thumbs down. Overpriced, bland food, so-so service. History lures in tourists, but I bet you they don't get many repeats.
Dafeng GuoMay 25, 2011Overpriced. Go to Chinatown and you will get equally good seafood with better price.
Rogue IntegrityOctober 14, 2010you must be a tourist or drunk to be here. literally the worst overpriced seafood i have ever had.
Luciano TournMarch 23, 2010Tourist trap - Bostonians don't go here. Walk to the nearby North End and try the Daily Catch instead
Jose CoronaMarch 11, 2016Te reciben con un pan de maíz calentito. Recomiendo la sopa de cangrejo y la langosta. La atención es buena. El lugar muy agradable
Luis Felipe RiveraAugust 30, 2019El restaurante más antiguo de los Estados Unidos... Clam chowder es la opción y la langosta está deliciosa!!! No dejen de visitarlo!!!
BPMay 14, 2017Ostras, salmão grelhado, carne com molho BBQ, ótimas cervejas, Restaurante com perto de 200 anos e Edifício Histórico com idade ainda superior! História, comida e ambiente fantásticos!
Sylvia GarzaOctober 28, 2020Deliciosos mariscos, los ostiones, la sopa de almeja y el salmón delicioso
Giorgio GiordaniAugust 18, 2013Locale meraviglioso! Sedete al bancone e ordinate ostriche, ve le aprono davanti gli occhi. Chiede poi "one cup of cream" resterete a bocca aperta!

"Cannolis (chocolate chip!) and cappuccinos! The cannolis are huge and definitely shareable, they will cut them if you ask. Old school and busy atmosphere."
