Small, lovely place with pretty outdoor dining options. Romantic lighting, attentive staff, quality and original dishes prepared well, and overall, very hospitable and friendly. Food was excellent, even to the foodies in our group. Worth it.

Early seating perfect for party of 3, cozy table towards the rear next the bar. Very pleasant and tentative servers, made our drinks just the way we like them. Had the clam & lobster sliders with fries, yummy! Good welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.

Top to bottom, beginning to end, everything about our experience at The Clam was fabulous. The chef Julian did a great job picking appetizers for us. Julio my waiter fantastic!. My wife thought it was the best clam chowder ever and the halibut I had was perfection. It is a dining experience not to be missed.
