      The fried Ipswich clams as an appetizer at Kinkead's are the best Ipswich clams I've had in this area. If they're on the menu, I HIGHLY recommend them.

      While you may get away with wearing jeans, I honestly wouldn't recommend it. If you're concerned about the dress code, then you'll certainly feel more comfortable wearing something a bit nicer.

        Unless the dinner crowd is dressed different than the lunch crowd it is mostly suits. I don't think they would say anything about jeans, but you might feel a little under dressed, as even the restaurant decor itself is a little formal and the clientele at least at lunch is mostly all suits.

          Jeans are fine, assuming they are dressy. I would pair modern dark wash denim with a dress shirt, sport coat, and dressy shoes. As for the food, the pepita crusted salmon is delicious! The crabcakes are also wonderful. Enjoy!

            I second the pepita crusted salmon. I'm still thinking about it. Yum!
