    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. :-)

    Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.

    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!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
