First experience, but not our last!! Our experience at Vincent’s Clam Bar was nothing short of AMAZING!! Even on a busy Saturday night, the service was top notch!! our waiter was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was OUTSTANDING with every dish cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, so we had plenty to take home. The watermelon martini was an absolute standout, and the Neapolitan dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. The lively atmosphere, incredible flavors, and impeccable service make this a spot we’re eager to revisit soon! Highly recommend it!
