    If you love history and seafood, this is your spot. Reasonably priced, delicious food in a historical setting. It obviously attracts a lot of tourists, but the staff did not seem annoyed and were helpful and friendly with suggestions pertaining to the menu and to also local places to visit. Would def come back!

    The food was well worth the price. We had the chicken fried lobster and the crab capellini. The lobster was incredible with the southern hot honey twist. The crab cake, lobster bisque, and calamari were also phenomenal. I would highly recommend. For two people the appetizer, a soup or salad each, and the entree were plenty of food for two people (we also got the pecan turtle cheesecake which is huge). We also got a side order of the delicious truffle mashed potatoes but it was something we had to box up.

    Wonderful dining experience. Sat at the bar. We started with cocktails, however keep in mind that they do not serve 'hard' liquor so if you have a hankering for a vodka martini, forget about it. We very much enjoyed the freshly shucked oysters that were ice cold and very sweet. Our entrees were perfect as well as the side of Maple Glazed Acorn Squash. Service was excellent. Kudos to our server Leo at the bar!

    The food was very good. Highly recommend the restaurant. Inventive non alcoholic drinks. The service was very good. The layout of the seating not as private. Tables too close to each other. Use of the nearby doors makes the place very cold on a breezy Boston winter day. Dress accordingly.
