The No Name restaurant is still stuck in the 1917 era and amazingly getting by today on these same old standards: bare bones no frills eating. It probably worked very well back in the 1900’s and the rating would have been 4 or 5 stars back then. Today, it’s 2009 and Boston tourist deserve better. \r

The place: For the prices it charges, the restaurant needs to upgrade the facilities (or move) and get a little bit of class. Average food, plastic cups, unclean tables, a strange pitcher of water already on the table with no ice, terrible view of the harbor and just plain uneasy feeling of the place. This is something I would expect outside on a picnic table getting ready for a lobster hoe-down near the shore.\r
\r
The food: The clam chowder was runny with unknown fish in it and pieces of shrimp. The fried scallops were good, the cole slaw can go and French fries nothing to write about. Serving size was above average. Menu is all fish and very limited on alcohol including wines (no glasses).\r
\r
Summary: Skip the No Name and find something better, do your research--- I can only recommend this place for a quick take-out if you’re in a hurry for fast seafood. \r
Pros: Ample portions, good for fast food takeout, no frills eating
Cons: Facilites need upgrade, average food, limited menu.
