The trick with seafood is to buy good stuff, then don't mess with it too much. This is a trick that the Brophy Bros. know well -- there's good, fresh seafood here.

We got the clam chowder (a solid choice, not the best I've had, but certainly up there), the calamari appetizer (also nice), the steamed clams (winner!), the garlic baked clams (good, but the bacon wasn't completely necessary) and the beer boiled shrimp (I was a little let down by this one, it was beer with pickling spices).

I'm sure there's a time when it's not crowded here -- I just haven't seen it.

Like I said, if you want seafood, you're a happy camper coming here.
