Geoffroy Bablon: Fast, then feast! The lobster, lobster sandwich, and clam chowder are all delicious. Just have them all, bring a good friend to share (some). Sit outside, or indoor-ish. Heating not guaranteed.
Holly D: Lobster sandwich & seafood chowder - perfect (!!!) for a rainy or sunny afternoon stroll in Cambridge. Close to Whole Foods & sit by the river if the picnic table isn’t your scene!
Cesar R.: it's a lobster sandwich, not a lobster roll... get it.

Brazilian Restaurant · 44 tips and reviews
AskMen: With the new space we suspect that the innate, even celebratory warmth of its namesake seafood soups - as well as the live bossa nova - will go a long way toward keeping things intimate. Read more.
Boston.com: Seafood reigns supreme at this Brazilian restaurant, but there aren't many vegetarian options. Try the fish soup, shrimp sautee, seafood pie, and moqueca. Definitely stay for the delicious desserts. Read more.
Jill Santiago: Most authentic and delicious Brazilian restaurant in the area! I don't love fish, but I love the muqueca. Delicious fried plantains, caipirinhas (cachaça, sugar and limes), fried yucca. Great service!

Cathy Sahyonne: The best clam chowder I've had in a long time! Clams were excellent!
Alan Kwong: If you have had your fill of clam chowder try the fish and crab chowder with rum! Oh and the lobster roll is legit. Served on a toast bun with big juicy piece!
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 👌😋

Jovan M: Best thing worth trying would definitely have to be the clam chowder.
Angela: The "homemade" clam chowder is HORRIBLE!!! Very bland and flavorless, tasted identical to water. Save yourself the misery and don't get it. But good burgers and fries and friendly staff!
Big John Krishack: Holy cow ! This place blew me away!! Double lobster roll for $13 bowl of homemade clam chowder for $6 just awesome come here now...why arent you here yet?

Keith Kaplan: The New England Clam Chowder is delicious. Must get!
Taryn L.: I have Celiac disease.This place had plenty of gluten free options for me! I had their cheese board with Glutino gluten free crackers. Then I had the Nubar burger on gluten free bun! So yummy!
AskMen: Why? Get it? It's a new bar? Ah, never mind. Gone is the outdated style of the old space, the hotel has been there since the 1920s, & in its place they've built the type of sleek dining room & lounge Read more.
