As I quote my wife on the meal "Awesome and Great". We both had fish from the Atlantic Ocean (halibut and salmon) and the meal was light, tasty, and very good. Sat outside under the heaters and it was nice.

We were told by a nice bartender at Joes that the lobster and fish here was excellent. She understood we wanted to explore and was nice enough to advise (and you should get drinks at Joes on Newberry!). The food and service was exceptional, the bar crowd lots of fun.

We had reserved the private room for a post graduation luncheon last week. The food and service could not have been better. The lobster and crab louie were to die for and the crusted tuna was some of the best I've ever had. All of our guest were truly impressed.

Wow, what a fantastic find for us on our first ever trip to Boston. We both had the clam chowder which was wonderful. I had the lobster my wife had the sea bass. Both meals were superb. The whole place was very busy and yet the service was to a very high standard. Our waiter was knowledgable and helpful. We... More

We were in Boston for a few days and met with relatives at this highly rated restaurant for an anticipated mixture of great seafood. What we received, however, was okay. Not bad yet far from the mouth watering flavors found in many of the New England seafood eateries. The chowder and bisque were good, the lobster ravioli was very good... More

This restaurant was so great we had dinner here two nights in a row. The service was incredible, and seemed pretty busy even though we waiting until late to eat. The lobster roll was amazing, as well as the lobster bisque soup. After traveling into FL later in the week, the portions at other restaurants for the lobster in the... More

We wanted to go somewhere special for our son's graduation celebration. We needed something that would appeal to both generations and be worthy of the occasion. The Atlantic was the perfect choice. We're generally wary of this class of restaurant as the food and service is usually overdone and the service obsequious to the point of being off putting. Here... More

We live near Boston and hadn't tried the Atlantic Fish Company. It has a bustling, charming interior, but the food was average at best. The meal started with watered-down drinks (usually an indication of things to come) and a somewhat limp salad. I had a lovely piece of sole, but the garlic crumb topping had no taste of garlic and...

We enjoyed a meal of the very freshest seafood! The waiter showed us a live 7lb lobster! Great service and good prices.

We had lunches and dinners at this wonderful place. The seafood was unfailingly fresh and well prepared. Our favourites were their lobster ravioli, jumbo crab cakes, clam chowder and steamed mussels. I cannot say enough good things about their lobster ravioli. It was rich yes but totally calorie well-spent. The ambience was great, especially in the evening. It was formal... More
