Food was supreme here. I had the raw clams, fresh and presented well. Cocktail sauce was done with care. My main was spaghetti and clams in tomato sauce with arugula salad and a touch of spring onions, that was a very fine detail. The effort was notable in the food. Service could be more disciplined though, some staff prioritise chatting with each other over customer service. The dining room was tastefully decorated. Would love to come back but I live too far.

Had dinner here and everything we had was delicious. Seafood is treated like the star, and I enjoyed every dish we had. The yellowtail crudo was standout. The raw clams and the halibut was spot on. Raw clams were clean and salty. Dessert was a great end to the meal.Recommended.

My dining experience at The Clam since pre Covid couldn’t be more disappointing. We sat indoors, the music can be distracting at times. We ordered fries+ 3 appetizers and the portions (except for Bibb salad) are smaller than they’ve ever been. BTW oysters are now $4/pc. Really?! For entree, we ordered seared scallops, baked halibut and a seared salmon fillet. All had 2 things in common: under-seasoned and 30% smaller than pre-covid portions. The delicious brick pressed roasted chicken is off the menu. We ordered all 4 desserts, spent over $340+tips on dinner for 4 in the end felt rushed and was ultimately told our time was up.The Clam is not what is was. They’ve managed to at least double their seating capacity by building out their front and side street structures. Doubling the amt of business doesn’t seem like proper justification to tag on another 5% Covid fee on top of checks (Not mentioned on menus or reservations)I’ve been there over dozen times in the past 5yrs, taken friends and clients there.. this was by far the most disappointing meal I’ve had there.

One of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the people are friendly too. The only thing that last time we were there all four of us got Covid. I had booked a table for the outdoor dining but was given a table inside. My mistake for allowing it. I don't know who gave all of us Covid but I sure it was their because two of the people were from out of town and we are from the city. We will try again and definitely sit out side.

Such a neat and stylish dining room. Service was super friendly and everything we ate was delicious: soup, clams (raw and fried), salmon, and more. only miss was the dip with house made potato chips, but the chips were divine. We will return.

We are big fans of the Little Owl and wanted to try The Clam since it is a sister restaurant. We loved The Clam! The staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and loved the menu. It was challenging to decide what to order - so many items sounded great, including the cocktails! Our server was very helpful and patient with us as we tried to decide among the tempting options. We had the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer, and I had the New England clam chowder - it lived up to its reputation! For entrees, I had the grilled branzino with butternut squash risotto which was excellent, and DH had the cod which he thoroughly enjoyed and thought was a creative combination of flavors. We had the cookie ice cream sandwich and the bread pudding for dessert. Both delicious! We will be back so we can try some of the other inviting menu items!

This restaurant was very nice and food was awesome! Manager Risa and all staff were very professional and sweet.

Excellent lobster slider combo. Full of lobster chunks. Toasty, buttery buns. Perfect fries (crispy and thin but not too thin). Great service. Charming spot - the table next to us was a first date and I see why they chose this restaurant (cozy and inviting on a winter’s evening with warm, low lighting)!
