B&G

[Peanut23]

Went on Friday and had an amazing little snack and delicious wine! The ipswich fried clams were so fresh and addicting! Love the atmosphere and the r&b music!

I second Monty. The food is often really good - but not usually good enough. They make mistakes that shouldn't be made for what you're paying. Like... using old fava beans that have gone bitter & soapy tasting. If I'm paying that kind of premium, attention to detail should border on the obsessive. I could go on.

Go to Neptune's Oyster.

FWIW, it's just "Neptune Oyster." No possessive.

Every meal I've ever had there has been excellent. That being said, the bill does total up mighty quickly and I agree, it happens easily without necessarily getting a lot of food. If it was abt 30% cheaper, I'd head there all the time. Bottom line --it's got special occasion prices without a special occasion feeling.

I'm more in line w/twentyoystahs -- love the food and atmosphere, but it *does* add up quickly. Next thing you know you're looking at a buck fifty for 2.

B&G is a complete rip off IMO. I had lunch there today and remember why I've not been in 6 months. $160 for two is ridiculous and it's not like we pigged out. Had a dozen oysters, two lobster rolls, 2 glasses of wine and 2 tap beers. $29 for a mediocre lobster roll...give me a break! This one is way off my list.

The lobby roll is still $29? That’s not good.

And you say it is “mediocre”. For a frame of reference: Have you had the B&G roll before? If so, is it not like it used to be? If you have not had the B&G roll before, where have you had better ones?

That's funny because there are no Ipswitch clams on the market right now because of the red tide.

Most boston restaurants call any belly-on fried clams, "Ipswich fried clams" whether or not they're from Ipswich.
