My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.
Private booth, cozy, historical, fast and friendly service
Baked crabs, raw oysters are the best. 👍

The Old Clam House offers a unique dining experience, serving quality seafood dishes in a historic and charming setting. The restaurant's menu features recommended items like Seawich, linguini & clams, and chicken picatta, all prepared with care. The friendly and attentive waiters contribute to a celebratory atmosphere, while the restaurant's character-filled walls blend fine dining and sports bar vibes.
Customers praise the fresh and flavorful seafood offerings, though some note that the simplicity of preparations, such as the mussels in a skillet, may not appeal to everyone’s taste. The Cioppino, a signature dish, is served in a light tomato-based sauce that allows the flavors of the fish, mussels, and clams to shine. Many guests enjoy starting with an amuse-bouche of clam broth, which sets a great tone for the meal.
The interior of The Old Clam House is described as intriguing, with a "pirate of the Caribbean" feel that encourages guests to indulge in a refreshing cocktail. While some customers found the drinks to be on the lighter side and requested a booth for more privacy, the overall service is praised as friendly and attentive. The building’s rich history adds to the cool atmosphere, making it a place worth visiting even if the neighborhood offers limited attractions.
