They had old bay fries which was a plus. My husband had the fried flounder sandwich. The fish was so big he had to fold it over to get it on the bun. We both really enjoyed our meals. Will be back again soon.

Oysters on the half shell were unimpressive and poorly served. They sent them home in a ton of ice. It melted and some of them became submerged. Gross.

The prices are really high for a takeout window (no parking and no overhead), even at the shore. You also get a monster baked potato and a not very fresh sesame roll. Service is very friendly and helpful. However, it's frustrating they charge 3.5% if you use a credit card on top of such high prices. That's a bit more than a pass-through.

Best crab cakes hands down!! We ordered takeout from back bay seafood (because thats how you do it…read morehere) & all of us enjoyed the crab cake dinner. It includes two HUGE deliscious crab cakes full of actual crab. We enjoyed an order fried and an order broiled -- both were great, all about preference! We all got (lots) fries with our crab cakes and they were perfectly crispy (even after our ten min drive home). These are probably the best crab cakes we've ever had & we enjoy crab cakes at most seafood restaurants we eat at! We called in for takeout and scheduled a time for pick up. We arrived 5 min early, gave our name & our food was ready. They were super quick to serve us & the staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Great food, staff, atmosphere & restaurant overall!

The food was very good. The clam strips could've been a little more meatier--there were a lot of tiny crumbly pieces. The platters came with coleslaw and french fries both were prepared Very good. I also had the blonde brownie with ice cream and caramel sauce for dessert which was very tasty. The service was wonderful and friendly. We would come back and like to try one of their fish dishes some other time.

So glad my son gets a reservation here for vacation week. Top notch service from Nick. And others. I would encourage Cafe Loren to try a new decor approach rather than just selling art. Pretty but a little staid. Just a suggestion. Go one notch modern and fresh. But the food and service are great.

Clam chowder was possibly the worst I've ever had - it was basically milky water with bacon flavor, with hardly any clam. The corn and crab was slightly better, as it at least was not the consistency of water, and had good flavor. Still, hardly any crab to be found. The lobster roll actually had visible lobster, unlike the chowders, thank goodness.

She forgot to tell us about the specials, but other than that, she was great. We started with cocktails and some little neck steamers, which were amazing and the vegetable egg rolls which were delicious. Highly recommend both of those appetizers. For entrées, we had the cappellini and crab pasta. I can't emphasize how good this was. Also a huge portion so my wife had it for lunch again the next day. I had the bacon wrapped scallops, which were very good. It's a smaller portion (3), so maybe normally an appetizer, but it was plenty for dinner for me.
