This was our first visit to this restaurant. We went for lunch and the waiter recommended the warm seafood salad, so I ordered it. A generous portion of seafood, clams, prawns, scallops, cod and salmon cooked with onions, bacon and silvered almonds sat on top of a huge bed of spinach. The dressing was perfect and not overdone. I thoroughly... More

Since my last review, I've been back to BFFC twice, and have re-evaluated my position. The food quality is very uneven. On our most recent visit, my wife had the seafood salad, and had the displeasure of discovering a bad clam in it. My clam chowder was so overly-salted that it set my tongue a-tingling. On the bright side, the... More

We went as a party of four for lunch. The service was wonderful, but the food was nothing to rave about. The Clam Chowder was good. More

We expected a larger selection of seafood. Calamari well presented & crab poppers good. Decent service , but drinks and entrees were average. Steamed clams below average, did not taste so fresh. Went there with 2 kids, early Friday night however, and the restaurant was accommodating for a family scene! More

When I walked into the restaurant on 02/17/2012 they special on the board was a sirloin. Then the server told us the special was a ribeye with shrimp and scallops in a hollandaise sauce. So that is what we both ordered. When the bill came I noticed the ribeye was the same price as on the menu and hollandaise sauce... More
