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!

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

What kind of money should I expect to spend here?

Anywhere from 300-400 for apps drinks dinner and dessert and a 20% tip for 2 adults.

Good for vegetarians?

It’s a steak house. So you make the appropriate decision.

Are they open Christmas Day?

I don't think so. They are closed on major holidays

Best place to self-park? And does the restaurant validate parking?

There's a lot right across from OP & one at ICA. Valet is actually less expensive

Was it good?

Food were ok but service was less satisfactory. Noisy.....at dinner time.

The cider was definitely the best part of my meal. The burger had very little taste and the fries were either really soggy or tiny and crispy. Not sure if I did something to annoy the kitchen, but it felt like I got the bottom of the barrel. :) The ambiance was buzzy and energetic lots of patrons sharing stories about prior concerts by the artist performing that night. Our server was kind but seemed a little overwhelmed- I had to ask for water refills and he came to ask how everything was before we'd taken a bite. The convenience was great, but the food was not great enough that I'd definitely return here before another concert.

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.

There seemed to be more potatoes than anything else. Regardless, I think everything was cooked well and tasted great. - Turkish Breakfast: 7/10, was surprisingly good! I've never eaten a block of Feta before but it was very fresh and not overpowering. They had fancy HEIRLOOM tomatoes so that was a nice and refreshing surprise. - Short Rib Hash: 8.2/10, a great value! The only thing is that the short rib was dry... but overall still tasty and filling. - fruit bowl: 9/10, the fruit bowl is ENORMOUS! Super large portion of pineapple, honey dew, orange cantaloupe, grapes, Raspberry, strawberry, blueberry. - Lemon Ricotta pancakes: 7.2/10, great texture of pancakes had a nice bounce to it and slightly mochi like. I had to have a side of maple syrup because they didn't give enough lemon compote. - Croissant: 1000/10, I ordered Ala carte and this was top 2 best PLAIN croissant I had.

That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.

We ordered several dishes to share: beef tartare, octopus, crudo, steak, meatloaf, Brussels sprouts, and lobster mac & cheese. Out of everything, the octopus was the only dish that really stood out, and the drinks were still solid. Steak was at high price point but below average for quality. Mac and cheese somehow the sauce was all on the bottom and not covering the Mac.. Also, Parmesan seemed to be on about 95% of the dishes. I like Parmesan, but after this meal, I never want to see another sprinkle of it again. LOL. The service was honestly the biggest disappointment. For an upscale restaurant charging upscale prices, I expected much more attentive service. No one ever came by to ask how the food was, and I actually had to box up my own leftovers. At this price point, that should not be happening. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and I can see myself coming back for drinks and maybe a few apps at the bar. But for dinner? I'd skip the table and the entrees.
