    The manager went out of his way to make our family group of 8 comfortable. He had the loud music turned very low so we could have a conversation. The food was excellent! I had the best steak - 12 oz. prime sirloin perfectly cooked to medium with garlic mashed potatoes and side green salad. Others had wonderful crab cakes and miso glazed bass. At our request we had a table apart from others, but in general the tables are well spaced and the restaurant is spacious.

    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. :-)

    We had a fantastic time celebrating family. The drinks were terrific (lemon drop martini was my favorite). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and everyone was raving about that choice. The entrees were perfect and delicious. The Chilean sea bass was a hit as was the lamb chops and filets. It was an incredible evening topped off our server - Yvonne- who made us feel at home. What a great night!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
