The restaurant opened about 2 weeks ago under new ownership so we were excited to give it a try and we weren 't disappointed. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their meals and the new menu includes something for everyone, from appetizers, to salads,sandwiches, and full dinners. The lobster seafood roll was the outstanding item. It was huge and delicious for a goodprice. $16.99, included fries) The bar drinks came quickly, while coffee and everything from the kitchen was a little slower, but we were in no hurry. Our waitress was only on her 6th day there, but was knowledgeable and honest in trying to help uswith our menu choices. The music was a little loud for the early hour of about 6pm, but we were still able to have aconversation at our table. The outdoor patio is newly refurbished and looks wonderful, although we ate inside. We 're lookingforward to spending more time at 'The Clam ' and wish all the best to the new owners. Give them a try!

Decided to have a cheaper vacation closer to home. We chose a hour and a half north of Binghamton,NY. Our first night out we chose You All!! The Utica Greens were TO DIE FOR!!! The Clams Shrimp Po-Boy were also delicious. Lindsay did a great jobtaking care of us.

The waitresses and hostess were incredibly sweet (though I might be a little biased). The clams were tasty and surprisingly free of grit. The burger was cooked just right, and it was a nice surprise to find there were two patties. The fries were simply seasoned but absolutely delicious. We weren't rushed at all; we enjoyed people-watching while sipping our drinks. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely be returning.

Nestled in the picturesque summer resort town of Sylvan Beach, right by the cove and Pools Branch of Oneida Lake, this restaurant boasts a wonderful, friendly staff and serves excellent bar-style food. It’s a great spot to enjoy a quick meal between fishing trips, while your partner relaxes in the sun on the beach. The offerings are delicious, generously portioned, and reasonably priced!
