"If you are ever in the Boston area, just drive 15 miles south to Quincy, to have a MEMORABLE dining experience! It was hands-down, the BEST food we had in the area! If we were in Boston longer, we WOULD have had the rest of our meals at Tony 's! All my life I have had great seafood up down the West Coast, but NEVER did I have 'fried perfection ' like Tony 's! The fried clam strips, were so masterfully prepared, they were practically 'dry ' from cooking oil! I haven 't experienced THAT before, EV-AH (wink-wink ! It was also the tastiest clam chowder I have had in my life, LOADED with clams! I 'm not a great fan of sweet potato fries, but after sampling my husbands, I kept pinching them off his plate, here and there. . . They tasted caramelized inside, which made them delectable. SO delicious in fact, that I snagged one of the cooks and asked how they were prepared. He said that they fry them LONGER (very high heat to indeed caramelize them. I asked about the history of Tony 's, and he shared that Tony was Lebanese, and that (since he has passed away his family operates the restaurant as they have for decades. What a wonderful INSTITUTION Quincy has! : The restaurant itself is very clean, organized and there is outside dining on a beautiful patio, facing the sea. Sigh. I realize that different cooks on different days, can give different results. And I had read a couple reviews from a few 'soreheads ' that weren 't happy with their meal, but that is the EXCEPTION and not the rule apparently. I 'm seriously thinking about inquiring if they ship overnight, because there 's nothing on my side of the country that compares to it."
