Creme brulee
Elayna D.

Great service, friendly staff, reservations HIGHLY recommended. The restaurant isn't huge, but they seemed to handle the flow of traffic with ease. We ordered fish and chips, lightly seasoned, but better than previous restaurants. Warm lobster roll was buttery and delicious, extra butter on the side for those that need more deliciousness. The clam chowder, clams could have been cleaned better, but it did not ruin the evening. Fries came with both meals, they were just ok, but did arrive to the table hot and crispy. Dessert was creme brûlée and man oh man, it was very good and creamy. Not overly sweet and done very well. I enjoyed my dinner and would keep this on my list of restaurants when in Boston. Definitely check this place out, it is located in the busy Back Bay neighborhood and outside seating is available, as well as inside seating with an outside view.

Service was outstanding! However the restaurant was quite warm. I don't know if the ac was broken or maybe it's just a Boston thing, but we were very warm during our meal. I was also surprised how loud it was inside, but it was the two of us seated by two kind of large group groups, which might've just been an unfortunate circumstance. My mother is a little bit hard of hearing and so that was kind of challenging. We both had other meals planned out until we saw the lobster rolls walk by. We both ended up ordering lobster rolls and they did not disappoint. We were very full, but we shared a Boston cream pie, which was also delicious.

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.

Nice fish restaurant in back bay. Can get really packed. The bar staff was friendly too

Lobster Crab Louie

Truly wonderful experience overall last night. Went at the early dinner hour, without reservations, party of 2. The host seated us right away, as long as we promised to be out within about an hour due to an upcoming reservation. It was a great, comfortable spot, with spot-on service the entire time from Christopher and others. Our food was served in a timely manner, after ordering some appetizers, a salad and a filet. All were perfectly prepared, although my filet was a slightly beyond medium rare, yet still delicious.

Halibut

Had the Crab Crusted Haddock and the Halibut first one was good Halibut was expensive and over cooked probably should have asked for a refund that one regarding the price just hate doing that.

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.

Clam Chowder.

Still one of my favorite seafood establishments in Boston!!! I love that they are not a chain. Went there for brunch yesterday and had such a yummy meal. I've never had their brunch before, but it was amazing!!! Their implementation of seafood into OG brunch staples is ingenious. I got the Lobster and Waffles, and my Dad got the Crab Cake Benedict. Both dishes were fantastic!!! Very brunch-y but also very unique. I do with there was a little more lobster included though. The ambience of this place is very classy. I feel like they've recently updated their decor and dishes, and I'm here for it. They are a little pricey, so I, personally, cannot come here regularly. However, when I do, it's always such a delightful treat. This was my first time coming with a child, and I was so pleasantly surprised by the customer service. They really shine in this area, making them standout from other establishments. They didn't treat us with snooty attitudes but accommodated us equally ... even with a stroller and a little child. I truly am grateful!!!

Lobster Crab Louie
Kita B.

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.

West Coast oysters...one of them was straight up BAD.
Elena J.

I was going to give this place a 4...but then I rmb how much we paid for our meal. First of all, the staff members and our server were all extremely professional and nice. However, there were literally issues with every single one of our orders. Drinks: Water was lukewarm and our cocktails tasted like juice. Appetizers: We got a dozen oysters to share and one of the oysters was so tiny and tasted NASTY AS HELL. You know a bad oyster when you have one. Mains: Clam chowder portion was TINY for the price. Fish and chips were literally so whatever (nothing impressive)... and the lobster roll tasted raw. Butter mixed with raw lobster...was yucky. Overall, wouldn't recommend coming here... I mean the ambiance is nice and the staff members were all great. But the food was MID at best.

Whole Roasted Branzino
Shaun L.

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. Honestly the butter for the warm bread was delicious. Yes, the entrees and clam chowder were delicious, but I legit think about the butter...

Maine Lobster Roll
Matthew S.

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.

Chilean Sea Bass & lobster ravioli + violet 75
Em B.

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

How is the pan roasted halibut prepared?

What is the cost of valet parking?

The menu online doesn't show any prices. Just wondering what a standard entree costs?

Seafood entrees range from $35 to $60

Can you wear nice shorts to the restaurant?

Yes

May we order for take away?

I think so

Can patrons bring their own wine with a corkage fee?

I don't believe that you can. You should call the restaurant to be sure.

Is there a private dining room?

Yes

Is the dress code enforced ? We don't have a sport coat with us but otherwise dressed appropriately.

No it's not enforced. We went for date night so we were dressy casual.

I asked an LLM for a bar, open on a Monday, that would satisfy someone who laments the…read moredisappearance of Fort Point's bar Drink. It responded right away that it would optimize for a place that appeals to cocktail nerds and is open on Mondays. I directed me to Wig Shop, and said that Wig Shop even has a cocktail named in honor of John Gertsen, Boston's much-missed (he's in SF, last I knew) founding bartender at Drink and Number Nine Park. Wig Shop did not disappoint: fabulous cocktails, an easygoing vibe (my two buddies and I were able to chat without yelling from 8pm until 11:30), comfortable banquettes (with, incidentally, backs that are high enough to be supportive but low enough that you can spread out your arms on them), and wonderful service. The service, in particular, lives up to the "cocktail nerd" aspect that the LLM highlighted: our server knew the drinks backwards and forwards, and knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned the drink in Gertsen's honor. I'd recommend this place to cocktail nerds, and to anyone who wants to have a drink and chat with friends. We'll be back soon.

The Wig Shop was on the list... what a coincidence we were just going to be there. So, obviously, we made it a point to check it out. It was very last minute, so we had no reservations, but we checked opening hours and were there almost on the dot. Thankfully we were able to get in. The way they are setup is that if you are a party of 2, they sit you with another "couple" to maximize space. This is fun, it makes you have conversations with strangers that for the time you are there become "friends". Hopefully you have the same good experience we did and not have anti-social people in front of you. The drinks are fun and strong, and they have a full bar for those who want something more classic or have a drink of choice. They also have food, which looked really good.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
