It's the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed but still excited for the meal ahead. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. As for the food, I ordered the quarter pound lobster roll, and it was absolutely outstanding. The lobster was fresh, tender, and generously portioned, with flavors that were rich yet beautifully balanced. Every bite was satisfying. Overall, this restaurant delivers on all fronts: atmosphere, service, and quality. I'd happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal!

So disappointing :( first time coming back in 7 years since moving out of state. Used to come here…read moreall the time in college. Here is the breakdown. The lobster bisque was RICH and thick. Honestly very heavy and was glad I split the one size they had with a friend. It would have been too much. There was a little layer of oil on top too. The Faux Fiz mocktail I got was good. However, a lot of "spices". I ended up requesting more ginger beer and lime to cut it. That helped. But overall good quality drink. The Atlantic salmon crudo was very interesting. Nothing close to what I expected. It was gross. Really thick salmon over globs of a black garlic aioli. The ratio was so off. It was so pasty. I am shocked they haven't reviewed that item on their menu. Usually crudos are so nice and light. This was not. The wild Spanish octopus was the better of the three dishes. Just needed some more salt. Or more of the chorizo would have sufficed. I was surprised that this place was nothing like it used to be. Will not be back :(

We were in the area and decided to stop by Juicy Seafood for an early dinner. We were immediately…read moreseated at a booth, and within a few minutes our waitress had taken our order and provided us with water with lemon. Our waitress was pleasant and prompt throughout our dinner. On our first visit my co-diner ordered the fried scallops, and thought they were very tasty. So, on this visit we ordered: * 2 - Fried Scallop Baskets (one with regular fries, the other with sweet potato fries) * Chicken Wings Side with BBQ Sauce Our order arrived quite quickly, and I immediately sampled a sweet potato fry. Tasty! Hot, crispy, and nicely cooked. The same could be said for the regular fries. It's unfortunate so many restaurants are French fried challenged, with fries that are served too cool and limp. Kudos to Juicy Seafood for great fries. The scallops were also tasty, with or without the bread crumbs (which come off very easily). They were fresh tasting, very hot and very juicy. However, the chicken wings were not good, they were overcooked, overloaded with sauce and difficult to eat. I wouldn't recommend those. Overall, we were happy with our dinner and would be delighted to return.

The Boynton: Where "Portion Control" Goes to Die ​If you're…read morelooking for a dainty meal and a quiet place to contemplate your life choices, you're in the wrong zip code. The Boynton is a Worcester institution where the napkins are thin, the booths are legendary, and the food portions are sized for a literal grizzly bear preparing for hibernation. ​The Highlights: ​The Pizza: The crust is weirdly sweet, the cheese is an architectural hazard, and it's arguably the most addictive substance in Central Mass. One slice is a meal; a whole pie is a commitment to a three-day nap. ​The "Buckets": Why drink from a glass when you can drink neon-colored spirits out of a literal sand pail? It's all fun and games until you reach the bottom and realize you can't remember your own zip code. ​The Chaos: It's a beautiful, loud mess of WPI students, local legends, and families. If you don't have a reservation, just pull up a chair in the parking lot and wait three business days. ​The Verdict: You will arrive as a functioning member of society and leave as a human-pizza hybrid in desperate need of stretchy pants. ​5/5 stars. I regret nothing except trying to finish those fries.

We love seafood, and I'm often in the mood for high quality fried seafood in particular. The seafood is fresh, not greasy, cooked perfectly, and complemented by great sides.

I tried this to sample several dishes at once. I almost always finish my food and I took half of this home! I did have a pre-meal and some oysters but still.. Crab cakes- big and really fresh crab forward! Unlike so many other places, any breading stays in the background. Lobster roll- great brioche roll and plenty of lobster meat.
