This is THE seafood place to have dinner at in Boston. No debate! The 3 $$$ are no joke, but the value is 4 or 5 $$$$$. Initially we weren't going to come here but our Uber driver recommended us switch our reservations from another place to Atlantic Fish. I am so glad we did! Our server Nick, was an absolute rockstar. Knew the menu like he wrote it himself! Starting from the warm, fluffy bread and butter, then to the lobster bisque and clam chowder that we shared, and an absolutely unique haddock with crab and other spices on top (my wife got the swordfish that was also perfect), all was absolutely delicious. He suggested a great red and white wine for both of us to pair with our meals. Tons of wine on the menu, so he was able to expertly scope out something that was available to have in a glass, and pair with our food. The biggest "almost-didn't-happen" food stop for us. Very thankful that we were recommended to come here, because we ate our food so slow to try and savior it and make it last. read more

Atlantic Fish was close to our hotel so we gave them a try. It was a nice evening outside so we opted for an outdoor table. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was good although my husband enjoyed his whole branzino more than I enjoyed my lobster roll. I opted for the warm version of the sandwich but it was lobster chunks on a toasted roll with a side of melted butter to pour on it. For $40 it was a little too plain for my liking. Overall, we would try Atlantic Fish again if in the area. read more

Totally unimpressed, learning disappointed even. We have had better calamari in Denver. The clam chowder barely had any clams and was very bland... again, we've had better in Denver. The only decent plates we ordered were the crab cakes and the oysters. The East Coast oysters were outstanding, but small. Felt like a wasted meal opportunity, with so many better restaurants within walking distance. Really, how can a seafood restaurant in Denver be better than a 4-star seafood restaurant in Boston? Make it make sense. Clearly a tourist trap. read more

I would say it's best to make a reservation. The decor and ambiance were both nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered The Louie.! Could've eaten two because it was soo good. The food was delicious, came out fast, hot and very well seasoned. They do provide complimentary warm bread before your meal. There is also a nice drink menu. The waitress (Morgan or Megan) was simply amazing! Not only was she helpful, pleasant and warm to me, I watched as she provided the same exceptional hospitality to the other tables close by. read more

Returned after almost four years--and it was even better than we remembered. The restaurant has an elegant, upscale seafood and steakhouse vibe, and everything felt seamless from the moment we walked in. We arrived early for our 5:30 reservation and were seated right away. Service was outstanding. Roque was attentive, polished, and genuinely five-star throughout the evening. Complimentary warm bread with delicious butter arrived right away--always appreciated. We started with an espresso martini--smooth, well-balanced, and expertly executed, with rich espresso flavor, a subtle touch of sweetness, and a velvety, creamy foam. The roasted beet and goat cheese salad was fresh and nicely dressed, and the Jr. Captain (crispy shrimp, calamari, and haddock) was perfectly prepared. For mains, I had the crab custard haddock with mushrooms on the side--rich, flavorful, and cooked just right. My husband ordered the Faroe Island salmon with mashed potatoes and garlic sticky rice, and everything on his plate was equally well prepared. Every dish was thoughtfully executed--you can truly taste the quality. We left completely satisfied--great food, exceptional service, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place that reminds you why you love dining out--we'll definitely be back. read more

i thoroughly enjoyed my first lunch at atlantic fish with polina providing excellent service. she warned me that their bread is addictive, and she was right! i ordered the violet 75 paired with the chilean sea bass & lobster ravioli. the sea bass was so tender and perfectly cooked, the combination of the lobster ravioli and sauce is so unique, you must try it, and thank you for a great recommendation from polina. i visited a second time, sat at the bar for a bit to wait. bartenders were great. when i was seated at a table with a friend, i thought they took a very long time to deliver the food after we ordered, and didn't really check in, at all. i ordered the same chilean sea bass, and it was a smaller portion of fish and didn't taste as good as the first time, not sure if ratios were off on a thursday night. my friend was not happy with their crab cakes which were overdone & overpriced for the meal. it came with corn pudding? they wouldn't even touch it, i tried a bite and i have no idea why that's even an option on the menu. way to ruin a dish, completely. first visit violet 75 10/10 bread service 10/10 chilean sea bass 9.5/10 second visit violet 75 10/10 bread service 10/10 chilean sea bass 7/10 crab cake entree 4/10 corn pudding 0/10 (who did this!?) atlantic fish co. is a hit or miss for great seafood in back bay. i thoroughly enjoyed my first meal here, but when i recommended it to a friend, it left more to be desired the second time around. ambiance: 4.5/5 food: 5/5 first visit, 2.5/5 second visit drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 with polina, 2/5 second visit atlantic fish co.: 3.7/5 read more

Steakhouse feel but replace meat with seafood. Came here for lunch over the weekend and it was not too loud, but also not empty. The service and food were great.

Cam! Cam, you did it. You managed to get me to find the best New England Clam Chowder in Boston. Am I exaggerating? Maybe. Slightly. Without a doubt this side of San Francisco, this clam chowder in a bread bowl may be some of the most hearty and flavorful New England has to offer. It really is something to order. The Maine Lobster Roll is good but unfortunately that is all it is. It is overdone with mayonnaise and other flavors that they seem to have forgotten the lobster is the star. I could not enjoy this roll as much as I would have liked. It is also served with fries, which sticking to my new American principles, only ate five before quitting. My server, Kate, was a pleasure and was knowledgeable about the food. She earns my gold star of the day. I recommend but go easy on the menu please. read more

Beautiful restaurant! All staff are very professional, polite, and very kind. Reviews lived up to the hype and we ended up going a little a crazy on the ordering. We started off with oysters, clam chowder, and a lobster roll to share. We did have high expectations for their clam chowder but we were disappointment. Lobster roll was good but would have preferred a hot butter option instead (would love to see them add it to the menu). Apps aside, the star of the show were the entrees. I ordered the homemade lobster and scallop ravioli and they were amazing! So happy to see that this place didn't skimp out on their portions or flavor. Every piece was nice and heavily filled. My partner really enjoyed his steak with the garlic sticky rice and mushroom sides. All very tasty - we would definitely come back again! read more

Wonderful Boston seafood restaurant for both visitors and locals. It feels authentic, modern yet traditional, and comfortable. Service was prompt and attentive. The menu had a nice varied offering for both seafood lovers and meat eaters. For us the standout was the seafood fra diavolo (nice kick of spicy) and the warm rolls to start! The whole branzino was just ok and not worth the $45. read more

Visiting from Seattle, we wanted to have some lobster while on the east coast. We ordered the lobster roll and the lobster scallop ravioli. Both were delicious. The lobster was well cooked. Ravioli was in a delicious sauce and had chunks of lobster on top which was a pleasant surprise. More food than I expected, but my home city is famous for the price of eating out so maybe my perception is skewed. Burrata and asparagus appetizer was simple and good as well. The asparagus was firm but not stringy and wasn't the star of the show, but paired well with the burrata, tangy cured tomato, and spread. For drinks we had the mango margarita and a first light. The margarita was a bit strong for my taste but better as the ice melted. First light was yummy. Nothing memorable for the price range. Bread was nothing to write home about, but warm and a good vehicle for tasty butter. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We had a very polite, thoughtful waiter. Being seated behind the host stand/entrance there was quite a bit of back and forth from staff and customers but we didn't mind much. Great soft pop rock music playing, like listening to my own playlist! read more

Great place for lunch! Had lunch with my coworkers on a work trip and was recommended by our hotel concierge. Immediately seated and served warm bread and butter. I opted for the halibut which was so fresh and meaty with a crisp skin. We started with clams and mussels which were amazing as well. The fish came with 2 sides that I chose fries and mushrooms that paired so well. Everything was amazing here and glad I got some of the best seafood in Boston. read more

Fantastic end to our New England culinary exploration in Boston. We loved the tuna tartare, crab encrusted haddock and lobster carbonara. We often get tuna tartare when available as an appetizer and this was so different to any others. The wasabi tobiko and taro root chips really added something different to any others we have had alike. The lobster crab claw meat was nice and sweet in the carbonara dish. My partner enjoyed the encrusted haddock that was dense, flaky and well prepared. Restaurant was clean, service was thorough and friendly. read more

Tucked just off Newbury Street, Atlantic Fish Company offers a nice outdoor seating area and a vibe that feels a bit more corporate--likely because it's surrounded by office buildings. Think polished business lunch or dinner spot. The food was great, though definitely on the pricier side. That said, they had the cheapest clam chowder we've come across during our trip through Massachusetts and Maine. We had the lobster roll and the Seafood Fra Diavolo--both were super tasty and came in generous portions. Heads up: the linguine has a kick to it, so expect a bit of spice! Service was solid--attentive, polite, and professional, just like you'd expect from a business-oriented restaurant. Oh, and the complimentary bread? Warm, fluffy, and served with some seriously good butter. A nice touch even if it's free. read more

I made a Sunday Brunch reservation for 11:30am for four and we walked into the cavernous wooden interior that had multiple elements that resembled a sail boat. We were surprised at how full the restaurant was at the time and there were a mix of tourists and regulars enjoying their brunch. Our party of four was seated at a booth and our server greeted us a few minutes later. We looked over the brunch and lunch menus, and saw "Award Winning Clam Chowder" on the menu. I knew I had to try that after seeing that, and our group also went for the tuna tartar and oysters rockerfeller to start the meal. After ordering our meal, the server brought over some warm bread with butter and everyone was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. We suspect its the same bread used for their clam chowder bread bowls, which I definitely need to try next time. Our bowls of chowder were up first and it was on the thicker side, with smaller chunks of potato and clam. The flavor was great, I added a bit of black pepper to mine but it didn't feel like an award-winning clam chowder, it was still delicious though. The oysters rockerfeller that came out shortly afterwards were loaded with spinach, some of the biggest I've ever seen. It tasted very good, one of the best bites of the meal. The tuna tartar came with taro chips which was an interesting twist, and tasted fresh and refreshing. Nothing remarkable but a solid starter. For my main course, I decided to try the Maine Lobster Roll since I've been craving one for a while. It was prepared cold with mayo and scallion, and served alongside some fluffy fresh fries. The lobster roll definitely fulfilled my craving, I was sad when I finished it. The stringy-ness of the lobster made it slightly difficult to bite but that didn't deter my experience at all. The service at Atlantic Fish was phenomenal and made the meal feel like a special occasion. The food was solid and at a price point that is approachable for that area of Boston. read more

I've visited here multiple times over the years when family comes to town because they enjoy the clam chowder, but after yesterday's experience, I won't be returning. We arrived around 12:08 PM expecting to have lunch. Since OpenTable showed extensive availability from 12:15 PM through 5:00 PM, I didn't think a reservation would be necessary. When I approached the hostess stand, the first hostess immediately asked whether we had a reservation -- no greeting, no welcome, and a noticeably cold interaction despite me saying hello and asking how she was doing. After checking the computer without saying much, she told us nothing was available until after 3:00 PM. Confused, I pulled up OpenTable and showed the many available reservation times showing at that exact moment. At that point, another hostess became involved. Unlike the original interaction, the second hostess greeted us warmly and seated us immediately. What was most disappointing wasn't simply the confusion around availability -- it was feeling dismissed and unwelcome from the start, especially when availability clearly existed. The lack of acknowledgment or apology after giving inaccurate information made the experience even more frustrating. I've always brought family here when they visit, but based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Nice seafood restaurant and convenient location in the back bay. Friendly staff good service. I came here for a lobster roll and had the choice of cold or warm. Delicious and fresh with very good French fries served with it. Also had the clam chowder but was disappointed- not much flavor and heavy on the cream side- I'd skip this soup. Good wines by the glass selection and a decent amount of seating at the bar if you do not have a reservation. They have a nice menu worth exploring. Great date place or if out with friends or business colleagues- or by yourself, just cozy up to the bar for a nice meal! Worth coming back to! read more

Food = 2/5 Service = 2/5 Ambience = 4/5 Came here upon recommendation while we traveled to Boston, but was disappointed, particularly with how our waiter treated us. Our waiter was very brief and had a condescending tone when speaking to us (an English-speaking Asian-American party of 2), while they were much more conversational and informative with the White families/parties around us. For example, they didn't tell us the daily specials but mentioned it to other tables around us. We don't need a conversational waiter, but it's disappointing to see the difference in how we were being treated. The other staff (hosts, other waiters) seemed pleasant. Food was quite disappointing in terms of flavor. Presentation was nice. Ordered 2 bowls of clam chowder (2/5), Caesar salad (4/5), and the signature crab-crusted haddock (1.5/5). The clam chowder was relatively thick (fine for me, too thick for my mom) and lacked depth. The Caesar was a slight step above an average Caesar. The crab-crusted haddock was a bit overwhelming for us as the flavors didn't seem to work together -- we couldn't finish it. I'd argue the bread was the best part of the meal. Nice, upscale setting and everything seemed clean. I would steer away if your party are POC or you want food that has depth. read more

I will start with and end with that the service was excellent. All staff was super polite and efficient. The prices are high and the food was mediocre. The shrimp cocktail looked slightly glassy ? Lobster / shrimp ravioli was priced high for the portion , my partner said it was very good. I had the Prince Edward Muscles and Fish and Chips... it was a good portion of fish. The temp of the fish was hot with amazingly fresh fish in a lovely batter, the accompanying french fries were look-warm with a slab of room temp cole slaw on top of them? The muscles were good quality and a great portion. The sauce was a little bland. Dessert was very good. A slice of NY cheesecake and the Boston cream pie. As for atmosphere...it was too hot inside and the bathrooms are down a flight of stairs. I was craving and ordered mushrooms to try with the ravioli cream sauce. I got over seasoned Cold and obviously almost bad mushrooms. I really wanted to love this spot and next time I visit Boston go to Abe & Louis...sadly I'll rethink that as this was an underwhelming experience for me. I don't think I'll go back to Atlantic Fish either. Our server worked super hard and rendered impecable service. read more

Atlantic was good but service was terribly slow. My server was friendly, but I think they were really understaffed and I had to wait a while before I could order or even before getting water. I got the seafood platter and I tried to order the clam chowder, but I was told they sold out of the clam chowder 10 minutes after I ordered it. So I got the crab cake app instead. The crab cake was good, seafood platter had enormous shrimp, some lobster, and lump crab meat, but the oysters that came with it were tiny and meh. I'd say it was good for a solid amount of meat in the platter (aside from the oysters), but it wasn't anything particularly special. It just came with cocktail sauce, vinegar, and a mayo mixture and none of those sauces were particularly unique. read more
