Village Restaurant in Essex, MA $50.00 Gift Certificate.

"My favorite is Essex's Village Restaurant. There is something special about the clams here", says acclaimed New York Times food writer, Mark Bittman. No clam lover should pass through Cape Ann without sampling a plateful of the best soft-shells in the universe. So, what's the secret? Quality & freshness. Village Restaurant clams are dug right here in Essex & Ipswich by local clammers. They know every clammer personally and the clammers know them. The clammers know they only buy the sweetest, freshest, highest quality clams. Its that simple and it's been that way since the Village Restaurant opened in 1961. The same goes for all of their fish and seafood. Its fresh. Its local. Its real.
