Caitlin BreulerSeptember 4, 2010Raw bar overrated, but cornbread awesome, all food really good, highly recommend lobster newburg.
Carlos CultureAugust 24, 2010When you get there wait to sit at the semi-circle bar. Its a classic for 100s of years! Seriously.
CarrollMay 8, 2010Fries are actually incredible, despite being the last reason people come here. Clam chowder was fantastic.
Todd ChandlerApril 22, 2010Get a bowl of the Claw Chowder. Not a cup. It's so good you should indulge in an entire bowl.
Rosanna WangMay 13, 2011Interesting historical setting, but if you're here for oysters, save your money and head over to Island Creek Oyster Bar instead.
Margaretha GunawanAugust 12, 2011Clam Chowder in tje bowl, make it two, and the natural oyster cracker!
Appropriately CriticalFebruary 16Sat at the Stone oyster bar. The hostess was miserable, the bartender, miserable everything overpriced how sad to see these people destroying a landmark.
JamJam BOctober 11, 2009order the steamed mussels appetizer bc not only is it delicious but the garlic bread it comes with is incredible!
Shane MartinSeptember 25, 2016Place screams tourist trap but the food is anything but. Nothing is cheap though
Elvie PastorJanuary 22, 2011Loved the building, skip the food. Head into the North End for much better seafood.
Ashraf FaramawiOctober 11, 2011Oysters are phenomenal- just eat the shucking bar. Don't waste your time getting a table and do not eat the raw clams.
Don't miss this bar- it is the best bar in America!
