Enryqwe Lopes: If you love the seafood, here is a must, definitely the best menu option is the lobster. Start with a shrimp boiled in beer 👌😋
BostonTweet: Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
Boston.com: Seafood lovers will love this beachy riff on Americana-a “seafood” dog that’s got all the right stuff, including lobster meat mixed with a shrimp mousse. The dipping mayo gives it that kick of summer. Read more.

Mediterranean Restaurant · 22 tips and reviews
Angie: Everything is so fresh & delicious. Crab toast, arancini, meatballs, & NY strip=amazing! The cocktails are really strong, too. Our server was great. A+.
Jeff Byrnes: Cocktail program is offbeat, well done, and quite fun. Go for the Ludlow for something truly different.
Michael Troiano: Very good Italian, beyond the usual red sauce joint fare, but below the fussy highbrow stuff. The specials really were special - cocktails and pasta - and our large group felt like welcome guests.
