I had a wonderful time at The Barking Crab during my recent trip to Boston! 🦀 The seafood was fresh and delicious, especially the clam chowder, which was a must-try.

The atmosphere is casual yet trendy, perfect for a relaxing meal by the waterfront. Service was friendly and efficient, and I appreciated the wheelchair accessibility. The only downside was the drink prices - they felt a bit steep for my wallet.

Overall, it's a great spot for families and groups. I’ll definitely return next time! 🌊✨
