    Overpriced. Go to Chinatown and you will get equally good seafood with better price.

    Tourist trap - Bostonians don't go here. Walk to the nearby North End and try the Daily Catch instead

    Te reciben con un pan de maíz calentito. Recomiendo la sopa de cangrejo y la langosta. La atención es buena. El lugar muy agradable

    Locale meraviglioso! Sedete al bancone e ordinate ostriche, ve le aprono davanti gli occhi. Chiede poi "one cup of cream" resterete a bocca aperta!
