This is one of the best restaurants in the downtown area. They take reservations and I would recommend it as it can get busy. If you are looking for a quieter meal and would like to have conversations with your party, than definitely sit inside. They have tables outside however it can get noisy with all the drunks walking by, lingering smokers, noisy motorcycles and loud music from the bar next door. The wine list is extensive and there are good options by the glass. The new england clam chowder was good as was the salmon and pot roast entrees. The service was good. The food took much longer than we'd expect even though it was past the dinner rush.
