Having been, now, a few times, I think the reviews are a bit understated. it is fresh, fast, kind. The drawback is that they do not have a huge selection, but I suspect that is because what they have is fresh. It also does not appear overpriced. I will go back.

On Christmas Eve, (La Vigilia), many Italian families celebrate the "Feast of the Seven Fishes"…read more The custom is to serve seven different seafood dishes, each one representing one of the seven sacraments. At least that's the version of the story we've always gone by. The usual menu (since I was a tiny tot) has always included: pasta with lobster, baked stuffed shrimp, bacala (salt cod) salad, another bacala dish; this one with a marinara sauce, pan-fried smelts, clams one way or another; often casino-style, calamari, and then whatever else suits us that year to total at least seven dishes. While I didn't appreciate aspects of this meal when I was a kid (read: any bacala dish), it's now probably my favorite holiday feast bar none with any and all bacala included. While I usually get my fish at Rockyneck no matter what time of year, the day or two leading up to Christmas Eve is when we've got to buckle down. The crowd is coming. Rockyneck doesn't steer us wrong. It's actually inside the Hingham Fruit Center, a store I love and which I've reviewed separately. It consists of one large seafood counter within the larger grocery store and is its own business. I'm generally impressed with the freshness, quality and taste of the seafood they carry. The look of the fish is always pristine and I never hesitate over any of their offerings. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful and will do their best to get you the very best of what you need when you need it. Christmas Eve notwithstanding, this place is a conveniently located little gem.

A stock boy named Mike was exceptionally kind and helpful. A few months ago , another very kind gentleman helped me carry heavy boxes again. I think his name was John? You do not find good customer service anymore, anywhere these days - so please keep up the good work guys! Markets are a dime a dozen everywhere, but what sets this place apart is the cool selection of items and the warm customer service. I will continue to recommend this place to people :)

The Store is no longer what it used to be. It used to be a unique experiential market. Now you can…read moreget everything they have elsewhere for less money. Recently the store seems understaffed, and the Shelves are not well stocked. It seems they had a Big Turnover recently and a new Manager, and the staff they do have is not well trained. The produce is not as good as it used to be, I have seen rotted product and outdated product on the floor. I used to love to come here to pick up a prepared salad or sandwich and the quality and selections has gone downhill. The other thing I miss is the Meal deals; it seems to be the same over and over again and the quality does not match the price. I would much rather shop at the Trader Joe's, Whole foods and the Fruit center. It is too bad, because there is nothing that sets Fresh Market apart anymore, it has turned into just Another Grocery store.

My lovely date had a beer that tasted like it came from a dirty draft line. The food was overcooked and lacked any seasoning. The most frustrating thing was when the bartender came over and saw a full drink, and two plates that were barely touched, and didn't think to ask if everything was okay. Simply replacing my drink would've been enough, but that was a step too far for them I suppose. A new restaurant should take over this space, one that cares about putting out quality food and drinks.

We almost left after walking in, but the ratings were good, so we decided to stay. The staff were ok, but that is the Boston area for you. I like that I could get clam strips and nothing else. I don't like to have all the fries that usually come with a plater. My DH liked his fish tacos, just wanted more sauce on it. He liked the flavor. My son had a chicken sandwich, which was loaded with chicken. I went with a solid 3/5 because it was just that solid, but nothing amazing.
