The best place in Boston for us. Made my day. The food is really delicious, view is nice and service is perfect. We can recommend roasted clams, lobster mac and 5 cheese, and oysters.

Second time here in a week, I'm fasting this month so no meat BUT the Mac & Cheese is freaking Awesome! My friends all had the Lobster Mac & Cheese they loved it! The Tuna salad is wicked too!

BBQ Ribs and Filet Mignon are very good ! Beer is awesome and online reservation worked like a charm ! Portion for kids are way too big so order 1 plate for two kids or ask waiter to only put half.

Delicious food and tasty, ask for outdoor table. Great view for the harbour. Nachos is really large it's enough for 3

Fish and chips, bloody mary! All good near the waterfront.

My bf and I really enjoyed this place! Salsa trio was excellent. Mac and Cheese with buffalo chicken was excellent and the burgers are good. Pricey. Paying for the view.

Definitely choose outside seating to enjoy the wonderful view of the harbor. Their fish and chips are absolutely amazing! You'll be pleasantly surprised!

Omelettes are smaller and made with 2 eggs. This is the farmers omelette, which is a little bland and without enough cheese.

Skip the Tavistok wine, get the back bay sangria. Also the fish tacos and the tuna tar tar are amazing!

"Careful, the bowl is deathly hot…" but the Joe's Mac & Cheese with Buffalo Chicken is delicious!

Everything is fresh and delicious. Can't go wrong with a burger or lobster roll.

Visiting Boston? Try the New England Clam Chowder and definitely sit outside if it's a nice day.

Amazing Sangria😍& great location right by the water
Lauren MacAugust 21, 2015
You're paying for the waterfront here. Fish tacos were good but skimpy for the price. Clam chowder was tasty!
Locksley BrownJuly 8, 2015
The fresh food makes up for the service and noise around you lol
Eli SchutzeMay 2, 2013
Get the Ahi Tuna Burger! It's great value for the price and it's Delicious.
Rachel CohenJune 4, 2011
Spinach and artichoke dip was yummy! They will bring you more chips/bread if you ask so you can wipe the bowl clean!

Swerve. Gone downhill fast in an effort to plunder the tourist wallets. No more brunch drink, muffins or fruit. Prices have rocketed while food quality has cratered.

Get the clam chowder, you won't be disappointed.

Clam chowder and tuna tartar!

Drink the Blueberry Lemonade with a straw to get the proper taste!

I am no longer in love with this place.they are cutting corners. Only the bread has survived the dip in quality.
AmandaJanuary 6, 2015
The burgers are always fantastic!

Shrimp scampi is good but I'm sure the side of pilaf is the original "San Francisco treat." Service this slow is usually reserved for Michelin ranked restaurants.
Raghad ShuAugust 23, 2016
The food was great but after we paid the bill I saw about 4 mice playing in the corner. Best part? I told the waiter and he didn't give the slightest shit. Never coming here again.

Sit on the deck and get the playmakers martini.

Lobster Roll & Clam Chowder...fabulous!
Keith ThompsonNovember 10, 2014
The second Sam Adams is always better than the first....
Todd ShanksApril 26, 2013
Food is pretty good...not worth the price really...but the view is awesome!
Kapado FernandAugust 7, 2012
The bread is so good , but why they only give you half the bread now?Before it was the whole thing...I don't like that .
WaadSeptember 23, 2019
Food was okay. The outdoor seating area next to the harbor was nice.
Amanda ParkerJuly 7, 2011
classic food, but you really go there to sit outside on the water. Read more

Best French onion soup I've ever had! The nachos were a close second
Alexandria HallJune 15, 2013
Not impressed.... Everything was just ok. Oysters ehhh, shrimp def not jumbo, sweet potato fries weak . I would not come back unless just to drink. Don't waste your money . Sitting outside is nice.
