"Sure, you could settle for Legal if you’re in the Seaport, but Hook + Line is a step above that and all the overpriced chains that look like glassy boxes in the neighborhood. Don’t get us wrong, the seafood here isn’t cheap, but they really nail the details. The wood-fired grill gives the lobster feast a smoky char, and flaky branzino comes split and covered with crunchy hazelnuts. Gaze longingly out at the harbor through the massive windows, and order some scallops, stuffed clams, and anything else from that roaring grill. They also have a solid half-bottle wine list, which is about as rare in Boston as somebody proudly wearing a Mets hat." - Tanya Edwards
