I went here with my husband expecting great seafood and was totally disappointed. We shared the Clam Chowder that tasted exactly like canned soup. I order the Almond Encrusted Salmon and the the crust was stale and the entire dish had no flavor. My husband had the Fisherman's Platter and that wasn't anything special either. The only thing that was tasty there was the Bananas Foster but we didn't go there for the dessert. You could get better food at any local crab shack for much cheaper. I will never go here again.
Pros: Nice decor
Cons: overpriced, cheesy wine list, nasty food

Editorial Review
Contributor, August 12, 2008
A New England institution where diners don bibs and crack open lobsters with their bare hands.
In Short
With 30-plus outposts up and down the Eastern seaboard, this Cambridge-based chain reels in a seemingly endless supply of after-work professionals and tired tourists. The look varies somewhat from establishment to establishment but a casually nautical theme and a crowd as loud as the ocean's roar are fairly consistent. Signature dishes include clam chowder, wood-grilled swordfish, steamed clams, and 2-pound lobsters that can be ordered baked and stuffed with scallops and shrimp.
