I'm glad I just discovered this website because I really needed to discourage tourists from dining at the "Oldest Restaurant in America". Locals already know to avoid it because of poor service and high prices for below average seafood. Their highly touted Chowder is edible, but nearly everything else served can be found for half the price and higher quality at dozens of other Boston restaurants. $21-$22 a dozen for clams is outrageous for the area. I know what they pay for their clams from the boats and lets just say they are "netting" about $15 a dozen in profit. That is highway robbery. Their fried clams are another overpriced disaster. $16.95 for fried clams? Ridiculous for the Boston area. You have been warned. Caveat emptor!
Pros: Below Average Chowder.
Cons: Service, Price, Value, Quality, Waitstaff, Management, Parking.
