My friend brought me here for my birthday. She said the crab cakes were the best. The crowd came after we got there at 6pm on a Wednesday evening. Our drinks were accompanied with a bread basket and wrapped pats of butter. I decided to try the Boston Clam Chowder ($6.99 bowl) since Yelpers were raving about it. It's chunky, meaty, with little lumps of potato and dumplings. A bit on the salty side but very good, I give it a 4 star. The crab cakes ($11.99 dinner price) came with a salad, tasted like rasberry vingerette dressing drizzled on it. That was too tart for me. The crab cakes were 2.5 stars. I'm used to seeing more lump crab meat, I thought there was too much breading in it. The drizzled sauce was okay.
Service was okay. Drink refills were hard to come by. And the waiter forgot our "to go" boxes soon after he went to fetch them.
It's worth another shot since Yelpers were right about the Clam Chowder. I'll try something else next time.
