We had read unfavorable reviews, but we wanted to go for the history, being our first visit to Boston. We went at a slow time, mid-afternoon, and wanted to sit at the raw bar, but it looked scary, with bivalves already shucked and waiting, so we were seated in an uncomfortably hot dining room. We passed through a much cooler, but closed dining room. We looked around at the faces of the other diners (mostly older tourists, like us) and no one looked happy. So we opted for just bowls of chowder and a Sam Adams. The beer was warm and the glass greasy. We had chowder three places on our trip, and this ranked last, but it was better than a can. We are from the South, so we did not like the cornbread. We scarfed it down and then rushed out, abandoning the other diners to their fates. So we checked that one off the list, but I couldn't recommend it.
