    Small, lovely place with pretty outdoor dining options. Romantic lighting, attentive staff, quality and original dishes prepared well, and overall, very hospitable and friendly. Food was excellent, even to the foodies in our group. Worth it.

    Early seating perfect for party of 3, cozy table towards the rear next the bar. Very pleasant and tentative servers, made our drinks just the way we like them. Had the clam & lobster sliders with fries, yummy! Good welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.

    We enjoyed the lovely outdoor dining space and terrific service. The Parker house rolls, clam dip and clam chowder were delicious as usual. The halibut and greens were nicely prepared. Always wonderful!

    My wife and my friends dine at the clam at least once every 2 weeks. In my opinion it has the best food in the city. There spaghetti and clams is wonderful and I've had all their dishes and loved them all. Hooray for the clam.
