Service is courteous and attentive. Food is fresh ,(we had raw oysters and steamed mussels) and portions were goo...

Very good food, service and decor. The food was indeed very good with one of their speciality dishes the mussels and the clam chowder. On the menu there are chicken nuggets (they are very good and come in a faire amount). We also tried the lobster roll (with fries) that was very tasty and delicious....

★★★★★ "The Old Clam House is a fantastic spot for seafood. Everything we tried was very fresh and absolutely delicious. The place has a lot of character and feels like a classic San Francisco restaurant experience.

★★★★ Jeff Kwon a month ago
