the service was excellent, our waitress truly enhanced our dining experience, as did the atmosphere. we would give the food a 3.5 star rating out of 5 stars. does it live up to the billing: the clam bake, authentic new england seafood, we believed it did. if you are looking for authentic new england seafood, be sure and give the clambakea try, we both feel you will be returning to try more of what they have to offer! the clambakeis a hidden gem in the island park plaza, a must try for the seafood lover! we’re going back to try the clambakeand are sure we will enjoy it start to finish! - see more at: http://www.whatsupswfl.net/component/content/article/29-restaurant-reviews/123-the-clam-bake#sthash.8zo60ddc.dpuf
