Creme Brulee
Lily S.

10/10 experience here. The food is fantastic. Full stop. Steak perfectly cooked, melts in your mouth. Bread absolutely delicious. Cocktails- on point and beautiful. The Gruyère tater tots? Omfg. Service - outstanding. Levi was a pleasure and Donny hooked us up w VIP passes for the Dashboard Confessional / Fray concert that night. Wouldn't eat anywhere else before a show.

We were a party of 10 that made reservations for a birthday celebration. The restaurant gets very crowded, so reservations are highly recommended. The inside is dark and a maze to find your table, restrooms, etc. The food took a while to arrive, but everything tasted great! I enjoyed a lemon martini, the lobster roll and saved room for the butter cake! All delicious!

What an amazing experience! I've been to the one in Pointe Orlando, but didn't remember it being this fancy! My guest and I got a bowl of Lobster Bisque each, a crab Cake to share, the Prime roll sushi and a twice baked potato. We shared everything, but it was still so much food! The soup was rich and dense, but extremely delicious! The crab cake was tasty with the slaw. The crab cake was delicious, and not overly breaded. The sushi roll was fantastic! The beef carpaccio on top really gave it elegance! The service was great and the team was very attentive! This was a lovely and fancy last night in Boston!

Ahi Tuna

Our group had such lovely apps, meals and drinks at Ocean Prime. Extremely convenient valet available out front or a couple garages located next door. But honestly the valet was the same price or even cheaper than a garage - happily surprised! As expected for a Steak house, the bill adds up quite fast. But the quality and serving size of the food is well worth it. Despite being a steak house I went for the ahi tuna which was excellent!! Lisa did such an amazing job with wine and food suggestions. If opting for dessert, (very yummy) highly recommend sharing as they have some decadent options in large portions. We all left there happy and full!! (And with a doggie bag).

Warm Butter Cake
Alex F.

Everything was incredible except my steak, and since that was the main dish, I gave it 3 stars. I would like to shout out our server Frank out, he was so attentive, helpful, and overall made our experience better. What we ordered: -The cocktails: 10/10, expensive but beautiful presentations and tasty, my favorite was berries and bubbles. -Goat cheese ravioli: 10/10, 6 total, very delicious in a lemon cream with peppers and mushrooms -Bread basket: 8/10, pretzels were a little firm but everything tasted great and we loved the butter -Dynamite Roll, 9/10: good size for sharing, felt very fresh -14oz NY Strip *Oscar Style*(boyfriends): 10/10, cooked perfectly, Oscar style comes with Bernadine sauce, asparagus, topped with crab and Hollandaise sauce -16 oz ribeye (mine): 1/10, chewy, overcooked, couldn't appreciate any flavor because it was so painful to chew. -Sides: whipped garlic mash 10/10, Gouda tater tots 6/10 (could have bought these as frozen cheese curds at the grocery store) -Butter cake: 10/10, beautiful presentation, absolutely delicious.

Excellent experience at Ocean Prime. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly prepared -- especially the oysters, hamachi crudo, and nigiri flight. Service by Hector was professional, attentive, and smooth without being intrusive. Great atmosphere, top-quality seafood, and overall a true high-end dining experience in Boston.

Sea Scallops
Barbara Y.

Our waiter & service was fantastic. Food was presented beautifully. Everything was delicious. We started with Tuna Tartare and a selection of warm breads. Our entrees were fabulous. Sea scallops with sweet pea risotto, and rib steak for my husband. It was a wonderful meal!

Crème brûlée was perfectly baked
Joann T.

Overall an up scale restaurant that had its good and bad dishes. King crab dish: market price was about $150. For such an expensive dish, it severely disappointed. The crab was dry and overcooked. Flavor was lackluster at best. Came with a few sticks of asparagus and potatoes Lobster bisque: creamy and smooth. However the broth and lobster ratio was not proportionate. At the end I was left with too much broth that tasted a bit too salty without anything to balance it out Crème brûlée: the only dish I'd go back for. Supreme texture and perfect level of sweetness and flavor

Warm Butter Cake
Jin S.

One of the best restaurants in seaport. The service and food is always great. I would advise to always make a reservation as they can get very busy. Even if you have a reservation there is always usually a bit of a wait time. For an app I got a Caesar salad and point Judith calamari. Both were amazing! I got the filet and it was cooked perfectly and tender. I got a side of béarnaise sauce and it was good but overpriced for what it was. The warm butter cake was so delicious, melts in your mouth. The restaurant itself is clean and classy. You can't ever go wrong !

In my 10 years of living in the United States, this is, without a doubt, the finest service I have ever experienced--truly in a league of its own! What moved me most was not just the food, but the heart behind the service. The moment the server noticed that one of our dishes remained untouched, he gently approached us with genuine concern, asking if everything was to our liking. I explained that after 10 days of traveling, we had simply reached our limit with seafood. Even so, he didn't hesitate. With grace and sincerity, he insisted on removing the dish from our bill, not because we asked, but because he cared! On another occasion, I visited for a business lunch and ordered the sea bass. The server was aware that I only had 30 minutes to dine, and the entire experience was executed with remarkable efficiency--seamless, precise, and without a single unnecessary moment. Every detail was handled with an acute awareness of time, as if each second truly mattered. That level of attentiveness was something I deeply admired!

At gratin, twice baked potato, filet
Alexandra K.

The service was wonderful, we walked in without a reservation and were accommodated quickly. The truffle popcorn they serve with drinks was great. We sampled some of the potato dishes and filets. Everything was delicious

Ahi Tuna
L C.

Prime Roll ($26) - Tempura Shrimp, Cream Cheese, Scallion, Beef Carpaccio Boyfriend: 10/10 * Me: 7.5/10 -- Rich, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. Creamy Clam Chowder ($12 cup) - Littleneck Clams, Smoked Bacon, Oyster Crackers 8/10 -- Needed more bacon flavor and seasoning; wished for more clams, but still better than Legal Seafood. Blackened Snapper ($57) - Corn Spoon Bread, Swiss Chard, Corn Emulsion 8/10 -- First fish was overcooked (they insisted on remaking it), and I'm so glad they did. The second was incredibly moist. The corn spoon bread pairing is unreal, and I usually don't even like snapper. Ahi Tuna ($54) - Mango, Avocado, Cashews, Spicy Sesame Soy Glaze 9/10 -- Fresh and flavorful, but could've used a bit more citrus to brighten it up. Bacon Creamed Spinach ($16) 8/10 -- Very bacon-forward, slightly salty, but delicious. Warm Butter Cake ($20) - Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce 7/10 -- Good, but not mind-blowing. Overall: Definitely expensive and a lot overpriced, but the atmosphere is upscale, business-chic, and perfect for a special date night especially if you get a back room. The waitstaff is truly next level: incredibly personable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the guest experience not robotic at all. One of the best service experiences I've had in a long time.

We arrived for our whirlwind 1 day Boston day with a few things planned. The Wig Shop was a spot I had earmarked as a maybe. On the way to Boston by train from New York, I read an article of great bars in all of America, and the Wig Shop had made their list. I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

The food was average, but the service was the biggest issue. We ordered desserts, and it took forever for them to arrive. When they finally brought them out, there were no spoons or forks for us to eat them with! We also ordered croissants, only to be told after waiting around 30 minutes that they were out of them. How does it take 30 minutes to figure out that something is unavailable? For a birthday celebration, we were hoping for a much better experience. Between the long waits, the lack of basic utensils, and the poor communication about the croissants, the service was super disappointing. Overall, the food was just okay, and the service really brought down the entire experience. Definitely not what we expected for a birthday outing with friends.
