Open since 1983, Kinkead's remains a reliable place to go for festive atmosphere and possibly the best seafood in the city. Award-winning chef/owner Bob Kinkead orchestrates the action from his second-floor kitchen in this three-tier, 220-seat town house. Best seat: the booth named after the late, incomparable master journalist R. W. Apple, who used to dine here. The worst seat in the house: anywhere in the "atrium," the area that extends outside the doors of the restaurant into an indoor mall.
Kinkead's menu (which changes daily) features primarily seafood, but always includes at least one beef and one poultry entree. Among the favorite dishes are the fried Ipswich clams; cod topped with crab imperial; clam chowder; and pepita-crusted salmon with shrimp, crab, and chilies. Chef Kinkead piles on appetizing garnishes -- that crab-crowned cod, for instance, comes with sweet potato purée and ham-laced spoon bread. The wine list comprises more than 300 selections. A plus: A (mostly jazz) pianist plays Thursdays through Saturdays 7 to 10pm.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
