BEWARE If you are African American please do not dine here. The incident I witnessed last night was absouetly appalling. I'm a professional white male, and I felt embarrassed by the way this nice couple was treated, I'm almost positive it was because of their race!!! It was almost 30 mins before any waiter went over to there table. I'd seen two parties come in after them, & almost immediately they were served. They've lost my business........

Just what you'd expect from a fried seafood joint - good fried clams, peel em shrimp, soft shell crabs, etc. Loud and raucous with an atmosphere to match. Sits on a pier in Boston Harbor. Don't go there for an intimate evening as you will be eating with your fingers and a roll of paper towels. Nice that you don't have to travel all the way to Maine to get fresh seafood.

What a great place. It's what you envision when you go in search of fried clams in a waterfront setting - even more special as it is smack dab in the middle of the financial district! Food is ok but when the out of town friends are visiting there is no place better.
