" We really enjoyed our dining experience at Speaks Clam Bar. The location was lovely, especially sitting outside. The highlight was definitely the seafood; the clams were tender, and the lobster roll was generously filled with fresh lobster meat. The service was good, although a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it was a great meal, but I felt some of the dishes could have been slightly more seasoned. I'd still recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Occasionally, you come across a restaurant that leaves you wanting more, and Speaks Clam Bar is just that. Their lobster lasagna was more cheese than pasta which mild disappoint me, but the flavor was still exceptional. I particularly liked the fresh bread served with olive oil. The ambiance here felt cozy. While the service was friendly, it was notably slower than I had anticipated, especially at dinnertime. Overall, an enjoyable experience, but they could improve speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Speaks Clam Bar has a lovely feel, but I was quite disappointed with my meal. The clam chowder was thin, and the lobster roll had a lot of filler instead of meat, which was disappointing. The service was okay, but the food did not meet my expectations this time. Perhaps I'll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" We spent an evening here and everything was delightful. I tried the clams which were fresh and well-seasoned while my friend had pasta; the portion sizes were generous. It gets a little busy, but the staff handled the crowd well, with friendly service throughout. A must-visit place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience! The Pesto Lobster Pasta was exquisite, with chunks of succulent lobster throughout. I rarely give five stars but this meal was flawless in every way. Our waiter was knowledgeable and made us feel special. The waterfront view only added to the magic of the evening.

" What a wonderful surprise to discover Speaks Clam Bar! The seafood pasta was one of the best I’ve ever had. The server suggested their special shrimp and scallop dish, which did not disappoint. It's a lovely little spot, and while the prices are a bit higher than average, the quality of food justifies it. Would love to return again next time I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by for lunch and absolutely loved the ambiance of Speaks Clam Bar. The clam chowder was packed with flavor and the homemade bread was a great accompaniment. Our server was friendly but a little slow, and there seemed to be a mix-up with our orders, but the manager handled it well. All in all, a nice experience with delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)
