It's always worth confirming long-held opinions about places like the Chart Room and their chowder. The last time we had chowder there, we were exhausted, starving, and had just finished a race. The chowder was great.
And this time. Well, it was solid. It is fine. It's always fine. But the place is packed, overpriced, and filled with yahoos drinking mudslides and shrieking about their party boat.

ChowderDad and ChowderGrandpa are taking their job as "Fringe Chowder experts" seriously and ordered the haddock chowder. They both enjoyed it and it certainly hit the spot on a chilly Memorial Day weekend.
One thing I will never argue with the Chart Room is this. Their bloody marys are great. Always great. And always welcome. They can rip people off with $26 lobster rolls and merely acceptable mudslides. But the bloodies are great.
