"First visit to Cortez Clam Factory. It was a pretty typical bar/restaurant layout. Looked to have rather extensive outdoor seating although we opted to sit inside. Band had just wrapped up which made for a far more enjoyable evening as we could chat. Service got off to a bit or a rocky start, but they redeemed themselves. We stood at the front for a considerable length of time, being passed by several staff members and after being unacknowledged ultimately just found a table ourselves. Eventually a server found their way to our table. Once we got rolling the service was pretty good. We went with a Cuban sandwiches and french fries. We asked for no pickles on one, and that request got missed by the kitchen. The flavor was good, cook times weren’t bad. It was a pretty fair showing on their part, but for the reasons above we struggle to issue that coveted 5th and glorious star. All in all, CCF seems to be a low risk selection. We’d go back."
