Atmosphere was great, food was great, and server (Isabella) was the best. Very knowledgeable about the menu and the four of us ordered four of her five recommendations. We were all very happy with the quality and portion size of the entrees and the service was excellent.

The food was really good. We had fresh oysters, clam chowder, sea scallops, fried clams, and Boston creme pie. The server even brought us a serving of cornbread while we were waiting for the food to arrive. Outstanding all around. The booth was a little tight, but hey, its the oldest restaurant in the US, so maybe folks were smaller back then. :-)

Excellent food and service. We went on a gluten free Monday due to my wife’s celiac disease. Gluten free or not, the food was fantastic.
