I just had a bowl of New England clam chowder..simple put perfect...I dare any 5 star eatery make a better bowl. Clams cooked to perfection the white sauce, surprisingly inspiring ....it is worth a trip to Eastern Market for at least Zeff's clam chowder soup...wow

The food was so good here. My girlfriend and I had chicken shawarma and chili cheese fries. The portions we're huge! And the price so small. I will definitely go back. The French toast looked amazing.

The food and service was great all little crowded though. I had a gentleman's behind in my face as he was getting up to pay his bill. A little pricey $10.25 for a bowl of oatmeal with berries and pecans. Overall very good though
