    Seafood linguine
    Keith L.

    Great foot and efficient service. I got the seafood linguine and there was more seafood especially lobster than linguine. The fish and chips were huge and my son said it was the best fish and chips he has had. My other son had the mac and cheese lobster and it was good but not great. The location is nice and the inside had the nautical vibe.

    Wanted some seafood, but were told no lunch on Veterans Day, only breakfast. And no seafood of any kind for breakfast, not even fish. Don't come if you really want seafood, might not have on holiday. The Pete's special wasn't that special anyway

    Most definitely not a tourist trap. This North Boston establishment is located in an industrialized neighborhood where it seems blue collar workers like to frequent for a satisfying lunch. My friend and I were very hungry so we both got the seafood platter that included fried haddock, shrimp, and scallops with fries and slaw. The batter on all the items was so light and flakey it didn't feel heavy after finishing it. The dining area is not super fancy but it's not supposed to be. I really got the sense this was an authentic meal locals get and the staff were very polite.

    Kinda tricky to find with all of the surrounding construction. Looks like it's attached to a warehouse. They serve breakfast, lunch and even pizza by the slice. Really friendly service. Small seating area. Fairly quick service and reasonable prices. Food was good. Haddock from the fish sandwich was a pretty nice size and crispy/cooked to perfection.

    Where can you have breakfast for two for $20.00 and free parking while you eat in the Boston Seaport district? Pete's Dockside! Order your food at the counter at this no-frills eatery. Don't let the hole in the wall by a loading dock setting turn you away. The cheese omelet was cooked well as requested; the bacon, eggs, and toast were as expected and the home fries were delicious. The servers were friendly and took the orders expeditiously. We'll have to come back for pizza; it looked delicious!

    This little gem is kinda tucked in a corner we almost missed it. Food was delicious and the portions are big. The ambiance is like eating at a dockside diner, the staff is friendly. And the service is quick.

    Blueberry pancake, only $1.25!!

    Ironically, I discovered Pete's Dockside on my last day living in Seaport. It's definitely in a random location compared to the actual neighborhoody part of the neighborhood, but that makes it a hidden gem. It seems the most frequent patrons are the construction workers who work nearby. The menu is surprisingly broad--I ordered a few things, including eggs and a pancake (which was huge). This is more homestyle food, so don't expect any "artisinal" fruit preserves and such here, but you know that is not the vibe here so it's not a problem. My blueberry pancake was only $1.25, which is totally unbelievable to be in/near Seaport! A lady brought my order out to me once it was ready; I actually didn't realize in the beginning that they had table service. Word to the wise: The hot water dispenser for tea is like scalding, melt-ya-skin-off-for-real level hot, so be careful! The friendly guy behind the register warned me about that, which I appreciated. I hope Pete's stays around for a long time.

    Seafood platter with sweet potato fries and mixed vegetables
    LaTia S.

    Of course I found this place on my last day in Boston Well, it was partially because it closes at 2. What a hidden gem! I decided to try it for lunch. I walked in just before a rush, apparently the locals already know what's up. The staff was friendly and offered to assist with any questions. The menu is on a couple of chalk boards hanging up giving the restaurant a real lunch counter feel. This restaurant has no frills, but the food is good. I decided on the seafood platter, this included haddock, scallops and shrimp all fried and opted for sweet potato fries and mixed vegetables instead of regular fries and coleslaw. It was a lot of food and the most reasonable amount I've paid for food my entire stay in Boston. If you're close, give it a try my food was awesome and too much for me to finish in one sitting.

    Went for breakfast but missed the window! 11am. Instead had an early lunch and it was fantastic. Grilled Haddock Mashed potatoes and gravy on the side Steamed vegetables Serving for an army and the price was $20 for plate and bottled soda. Easily could have split/shared. It is hard to find but we kept going passed the dock area and discovered a stair well on the corner. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

It was also outrageous to charge an 18% service charge and a 3% admin fee on food that I picked up from the restaurant. I have no idea why you have to pay over 20% in fees for food that you are taking to go. I would not recommend dining here.

We went up to the hostess stand and were seated right away. Our server came by and was very friendly. However, as the night went on the service became quite slow. It took a lot of time for our food to come out and to get our to-go boxes as well. For a drink, I ordered the PINA-NO-LADA. It is basically a virgin pina colada. Very delicious and they added some nice cherries on top. For the food we shared: -CEVICHE: Great flavor and very fresh octopus. Went well with the tortilla chips it came with. -SHRIMP SCAMPI: The pasta was cooked perfectly as were the shrimp that were big and juicy. However, the sauce was overly acidic. There was way too much lemon in it. I do also wish they had more than just 4 shrimp on top of a $30 bowl of pasta. -BRUSSEL SPROUTS: Was good brussel sprouts. All in all, while the food was pretty good (with some hit or miss elements), it is such an expensive meal especially for the portion and service you are getting.

The lemon ricotta ravioli was borderline cold by the time I cut into it which was really odd. The mozzarella was forgettable, but the pork belly was solid. The scallops that were on special were the itty bitty kind and just ok - mostly overwhelmed by whatever breading they were covered in. The best part was probably the deserts - I had the creamy Nutella something or other - and was really upset when I got to the airport in the morning and realized I left it in the hotel fridge /sad face.

The reservation process was easy and a group of 5 was easily accommodated on the day and time requested. We arrived together after a short walk from the office. Bonus points to Moooo for not only having complimentary coat check, but also safe bag storage knowing much of their clientele on a weeknight is in transit from the office to home. Please people, don't forget to tip the coat check girls, it is only the right thing to do. Seated at our table the restaurant was initially fairly empty, but filled up nicely while we are already enjoying cocktails, wine, and appetizers. The long bar followed by tables of various sizes filled the restaurant, but it never was too loud and there was plenty of space between tables that you did not feel like you were sitting on top of each other or listening to their conversation more then the person across from your own table. Like most fine dining experiences, the complimentary rolls were served warm and lathered in melted butter. Sinful!. We ordered several appetizers for the table to share including tuna tartare which was very tasty and recommended. I also recommend the Japanese wagyu beef dumplings which were both delicate and savory. Lastly, the calamari was crispy and hot with the right amount of heat from the lemon and herb aioli. To accompany the entrees we ordered the broccolini, Yukon gold potatoes and the highly recommended tater tots. The only issue we had was with the tots which we collectively thought were both slightly over cooked and tasted "different". Said another way, I have never had a tater tot that didn't leave me wanting to eat them one after another until they were all gone, but this one was more than enough and more than 3/4 of the serving was left for the bus-person. Three of us ordered the 8oz Omaha filet which were cooked to perfection and delicious. Why is there not a 12 oz offering like most steak houses? Literally mine looked like it was 4 oz on the large, stark white plate when served. Thankfully being cooked to a perfect medium rare and accompanies by a bordelaise sauce which is also a rarity to find offered, was a treat. The prime New York sirloin and prime ribeye were equally cooked perfectly and delicious. We passed on dessert or after dinner drinks, but certainly enjoyed our visit. I have eaten at the Beacon Hill location previously, but this was my first experience in the seaport, but it won't be my last.

It didn't taste fresh and came across more like artificial jalapeño flavoring rather than real infusion--and it wasn't spicy at all. For food, we ordered a variety of small plates to share. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. It felt a bit underwhelming compared to the atmosphere. The biggest issue was the service. It was very slow throughout the night, and getting the check was especially frustrating--it took about 30 minutes, and we had to ask multiple times before finally receiving it. Overall, the ambiance is beautiful and perfect for a celebration, but the drinks and service didn't match the vibe. Hoping this was just an off night.
