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

We went in at the height of the lunch rush and were seated within minutes despite how busy they were. After eating there, even if we HAD waited, it would have been worth it. The chowder was excellent - thick and creamy - and the crab melt sandwich was recommended by the server with good reason! The fish and chips... More

My son and I visited Boston for the first time (March '13), and knew we had to eat some really good seafood while we were there. Based on reviews we read, we decided this was the place we wanted to go. Atlantic Fish Co. did not disappoint. The entire meal was fantastic - we both had a cup of clam... More

We ate at Atlantic Fish company on May 8th. We had just flown into Boston and I was fighting off a horrible migraine. We had made reservations, but we just walked in during the early afternoon to eat then. I knew later would not be an option, as my headache would get worse. Our server was simply amazing. She suggest... More

Great place for fish and lobster. They print a different menu daily. Wide range of options (fish and seafood mostly) and very busy. We were lucky to get a table without prior booking but it was full so if you want to be safe book before going. Mains are around 30 dollars. Its in the centre very close to the... More

We had planned a trip to Boston and always like to try different restaurants while there. A few days before our visit, we made a reservation at the the Atlantic Fish Company, but could not get any earlier than 9pm on the Friday night. When we arrived, we understood why! It was teeming with customers and those who were willing... More

Pretty pricey, but really wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the food delicious and the wine was exceptional.That dozen oysters as an appetizer and swordfish with vegetables as entrée - who wants more? Exceptional!
