The Clam

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and, despite the place being packed, were seated after about a 10-minute wait. Service was a bit slow at first, but once we ordered, everything went smoothly. The West Coast oysters were excellent, and the grilled scallop was one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, with the avocado mousse adding a great balance. The peach salad was fresh and flavorful. The spaghetti with clams was outstanding — spicy in just the right way — and the halibut was juicy, pairing beautifully with the corn risotto. The Albariño wine complemented the meal nicely. The only letdown was the desserts, which I wouldn’t recommend. Overall, a very good dining experience — definitely worth visiting.

Solid spot with fresh ingredients. Oysters were decent, salad had good contrast of textures. Calamari and crudo were OK.

Impromptu visit for a drink and an appetizer and really enjoyed the Blue Point Oysters, very meaty! Also had crab dip with house made chips and they are super crispy and tasty! Great neighborhood place.

Came here on a lazy Saturday evening. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Matthew was such a great server and everything he recommended was fantastic. The food is simple but excellent. The lobster arancini and Kampachi crudo were stand out appetizers. The black sea bass entree was so fresh, with a sauce that was flavorful and paired perfectly. To top it off, we got the snickerdoodle dessert with espresso ice cream (instead of raspberry, as per Matthew’s recommendation) was a perfect way to end the night. Excellent spot overall and definitely coming back.

I can't say enough about The Clam. This is one of my new favorite places. When we arrived, it was bustling. We enjoyed ourselves so much we were the last ones to leave. We were lucky enough to get a waitress named Julie. If you go, she's the one. Although everyone there seemed like they would be good. They all also worked well as a team. It's unusual to see these days. We had a lot of questions about the food and the drink, and Julie hung in there with us with a smile. All of our food was delicious. We cleared our plates. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
