Clam cakes were no better, they were a deep fat fried dough puck with little clams. Hate to waste money on that crap. I did leave a 20% tip. It was not the waiterperson’s fault.

They were the same as yours, fried balls with a tiny bit of clam in each ball. Even taking the different style of "cake" into consideration, it wasn't very good.

The price probably should have been a giveaway that clam cakes might not be like crab cakes.

I always cringe when I hear people being referred there.
