Amazing food! We had the Abalone and Pistachio crusted Ling special followed by Creme Brulee. Beautiful dishes and so good. I can't say enough about the policy for quiet atmosphere. This isn't considered enough in restaurants. Parents should NEVER be offended by a policy implemented that supports clean, quiet environments. Just because you like loud obnoxious environments doesn't mean we all do. Not to mention, it's impossible to get food out of carpet, so most restaurants smell dank. There are a million other options for child friendly dining.

Wow! We ate here last night and it was the best food we have eaten on our 3 week road trip around 4 states in the US. The calibre of food and service is so far above the others around it. We tried somewhere different tonight (Abalonetti Bar & Grill), as we like to try new places however we regretted it so much. Old Fisherman’s was only $4 more expensive and really is on a totally different level. Our server, who’s name I forgot (I’m useless with names. He was quite tall, bearded I think, and said he lived in the UK a little while) was brilliant and really made our evening that extra bit special. He is a genuine credit to the establishment. The rose for all the lady’s in the restaurant is a great touch, as well. A real 5 stars for the impeccable food & excellent service. Also, GET THE CLAM CHOWDER… best I’ve ever had!

Food was on par with prices in this area. Quality was above par. Can't tell if they use frozen sea food which is common. Service was great. Giovanni made excellent recommendations and was extremely fast knowledgeable and courteous. Only negative for this restaurant is the sign out front about not wanting strollers and stuff and discouraging families from coming in with kids because they cause too much noise and disrupt guests as opposed to grown drunk adults who are docile and silent. I would eat here but wish it was a more family friendly establishment sign not needed.

My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening and were seated right away! Miguel was a great server. We ordered the clam chowder bread bowl with garlic butter, which never disappoints, along with the avocado crab seafood tower. This is definitely the best spot for clam chowder and we will continue to return! Additionally, we loved the atmosphere, interior and the rose at the end of the meal.
