Fish bowls
Marni M.

My friends and were were doing some bar hopping and decided to come here for their fish bowls. We picked their margarita a small sangria mix. In the long run, the margaritas is the way to go since the sangria's sweetness can get overbearing after a bit. My party of 6 were satisfied with sharing 4 of the bowls amongst us. Nothing crazy but definitely not a bad experience. Would come again if in the area.

Beers!

Fantastic spot for a post work beer right on the water! Great vibes next to all the boats to hangout with coworkers or friends! Definitely stop by for a drink!

Spring roll aftermath

Certain to quench your vibe appetite on a sunny afternoon on the Boston waterfront--as well as your yearning for standards apps and beer buckets, margarita bowls etc. We went with a corona and a sauv blanc in a tall clear plastic cup, so what? Pop music from 2010's ish, plenty of afternoon tipsy 20 something's to watch. We had the spring rolls, fried, veggie, two sauces, no complaints.

It's hot out and a spot in the shade is hard to find.

There doesn't see to be a lot of dockside places to sit and have a drink and people watch. The Landing is right in the area where some of the various harbor cruises depart from. Self sitting and serve your self from the bar. They do have food although we were there having a drink before a cruise. Good place to people watch.

The Landing has everything it needs to be successful - a prime location right on the water next to where all boat cruises board. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the action/scenery and wait before your cruise. The set up is nice - there are a ton of umbrellas and an outdoor TV. It's fun and busy, and I was happy to have an umbrella especially since the weather was on and off drizzling. We ordered two fishbowls - the Patriot Passion is a pink fishbowl that's delicious. The Blueberry Riptide is a blue fishbowl that looks really beautiful but tastes like chemicals - it was unfortunately not great. The service is very slow because they only have one person managing 10+ tables. He is clearly overwhelmed and can't keep up with all of the orders. He also spent a lot of time chatting, so tables constantly had to flag him down. I'm not sure why they don't hire more staff. Overall, nice vibe and great views. Come here for a drink or two before heading to your next destination.

Beautiful open bar by the wharf.. drinks reasonably priced not much alcohol but the drinks are nice and sweet.. thankfully they are not super diluted..tried the fish bowl for strawberry margharita and blueberry ripteda along with passion punch and zetsy (please skip this one it was disgusting i mean what else can you expect from cucumber and bloody mary).. all the drinks were well made and the wait time was around 20 mins to get our drinks at the counter..lovely place to spend a beautiful summer afternoon in boston while waiting for your harbor cruises.. loved the music.. will come back again..

I like the landing but I wouldn't say I LOVE IT. It's also hard to judge right now because they're big thing is the fish bowls they serve and they can't do those during corona. The food is terrible but they just have to serve it in order to stay open. Do not get the hot dog it was actually terrible. The drinks are always good but they are definitely over priced.

Fishbowls

I'm a sucker for watching ballgames at the Fenway bars, but when a friend and I were looking for a sports-friendly spot near North Station and on the water, The Landing was a perfect solution! First off, the bartenders here rock! Busy as they may be, they're happy to dish out free tastes of their exhaustive beer selection. After a round of beers, we explored their fishbowl menu. Due to MA regulations, certain fishbowls require a minimum number of people, so the two of us had to stick with the "guppy" size (pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-landing-boston?select=wCWQJhfrcYKloxhiojjSaw#yc5O7smx137_6P9VuqzrrA). Don't let the size fool you, these suckers pack a punch! With four flavor choices, we opted for the Sunkissed Punch (Bacardi pineapple fusion rum / Bacardi rock coconut rum / pineapple & OJ), and both found the drink to be tropical and refreshing. Food-wise, if you're looking for anything above pita chips & hummus, or chips & guac, eat elsewhere beforehand - the menu is very limited here, but prices are definitely fair all-around. Decor was cool, especially under the bar tent, where color changing LED lights bounce off a montage of ceiling decorations and makes for a cool effect (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-landing-boston?select=wCWQJhfrcYKloxhiojjSaw#KXg2Q-4E4VCVDJWxzMb8eg). Now if only the Yankees won tonight, our night would have been complete! Either way, The Landing will definitely be a part of our next warm-weather Boston trip!

Sun kissed punch, really good!

The outdoor siting was really pleasant, drinks were good, however I thought that the server wasn't polite, could be because it was a bit busy too.

Ask the Community - The Landing

Is there a cover charge?

Not during the time period we were there which was 3 PM.

Is there food?

Yes! Very limited menu though with only a few options. I've never gotten food from there but I am pretty sure they offer a lobster roll.

Gray’s Hall - Orange wine!

We walked in to Gray's Hall and met the person at the door. He told us it may be 20 minutes. He…read morecame to get us after just 5 minutes but the seats were at the bar but stools did not have backs so we declined. He said give me a minute. He rearranged the table settings and got my friend and I a table for 2. Then our server came over and gave an overview of the place. We asked about the chilled red wine. He brought us 2 tastings. We loved. Proceeded to order 2 burgers, fries and grilled carrots. The food was amazing. Given the most welcoming greeting and service, coupled with delicious food, I could not recommend this place any more. Truly a gem in Southie!

You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in…read morethe last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items).
