One of our favorite restaurants when we visit Boston. We always get the onion dip appetizer and at least one of us orders the scallops, but everything we’ve tried has been delicious. Espresso martini is 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. :-)

We got both flavors of wings, calamari, truffle fries, and edamame. Just an apps night for a good bye shin dig. Didn’t even realize it was trivia night. Had a great time. Waitress was very patient with us as we had a large group.
