"If the people you’re meeting with are from out of town, there’s no mystery about what they want to eat. They want chowder, and they’re going to spend at least half the meal repeating “chowdah” over and over again in their best Mark Wahlberg voice. Take them to Atlantic Fish. It’s not the best seafood restaurant in the Back Bay, but unlike Saltie Girl, you’ll actually be able to get in, and unlike Select, it’s filled with all the big leather chairs and polished wood that a business traveler who just spent four hours loudly talking on his cell in the Acela quiet car could ever want." - dan secatore

"You might feel a little uncomfortable if you come to Atlantic Fish on Boylston for lunch without either carrying a Fodor’s Guide To Boston or having just finalized a deal with your company’s new toner supplier. But regardless, it’s not a bad spot for some well done - if unexciting - New England seafood." - Dan Secatore

Overall I thought the food was very salty. It wasn’t bad but I’ve had better. We drank like 2-3 bottles of water because of this. The atmosphere is nice and our waiter was fantastic. I was hoping the clam chowder would be better since is was supposedly rated one of the best but I guess everyone has different tastes Would I go back ? Maybe maybe not since I feel there are so many other good restaurants.

The oysters were really good. The lobster bisque was a little blend whereas the clam chowder was a little strong for our taste. Likewise the lobster carbonara though there was plenty of lobster meat. The service was very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Went there with my wife and son and a friend. We ordered a salad, fried calamari and a lobster bisque for starters and 2 orders of sole and 2 orders of steamed lobster with broccoli and Asparagus as sides. The bisque was very good, the calamari and salad were OK. The sole was excellent but I have had better lobster. The service was slowish and the place was super full. Worth the experience for one time.

One of the long standing seafood restaurants in the area, definitely needs a visit. APPS Bread is awesome. Fluffy on the inside and crusty and crispy on the outside. Paired with, guess what, Vermont Creamy’s butter. I knew it, as many NYC high-end restaurants also use this butter. Rich, smooth, creamy, and yummy. Bacon Scallops Average as you can definitely imagine the flavor. It is not bad but it is not fun or unique. I personally wouldn’t order it again. Lobster Crab Louie Okay everyone order this. It is a layered tower of tomato onion spices, avocado, crab and lobster meat mix, paired with endive leaves. The creaminess of the avocado and the intrinsic of the seafood and the freshness citrusy umami onion tomatoes with crispy and semi-bitter leaves jointed hands on this plate. I would hate if you missed it. Entrees Bay Scallops Special The scallops some people have been waiting all year: the season for the sweetest scallops. My friend said it was great. Fra Diavolo Seafood mix with pasta. The waiter was so worried about my friend being fired out from the spicy sauce, yet my Korean friend despised the spicy level. Not spicy. However, it tasted amazing. I had a bite and I agree. Halibut Special The special halibut coated with Japanese pankos and hazelnut, topped on the blanched green beans and butternut squash puree with browned butter. I was debating between this vs. their fan favorite Chelsea sea bass. The sea bass was taken off the menu but had a comeback due to fan madness. I had the special and I REGRETTED. The fish’s is bit overcooked, the green beans were undercooked. I did not enjoy it. Side of Mushrooms I ordered this because I loved mushroom. Really aromatic and umami. 1 Lobster 1 1/4 lb You know what a good lobster taste like, hopefully. Iconic thing at a harbor city. I want to give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt by maybe visiting this place again for the Chilean sea bass. But honestly, I kinda doubt their ability to cook fish and veggie correctly (maybe fish only, as the mushroom was good).

So worth the drive from NH! We came here on a Saturday lunch reservation but ran terribly late due to traffic (barely 3 miles away!) and then 25 minutes of musical chairs underground the Boston Commons. Despite all of that and more, the hostess Marianna was very understanding and found us a small booth 🙏 her kindness began our 1st experience at the Atlantic Fish Company. André was our server. His attentive service and energetic candor made for a spectacular evening! I especially appreciated his detailed knowledge of the food ingredients and impeccable timing on checking up on our table. Our water glasses and prosecco were never empty or waiting. We ordered 2 appetizers; the tuna tartare and crispy calamari Milano. The tartare was my favorite, very subtle, and soft flavor of horseradish and wasabi. My partner enjoyed the extremely light batter of the calamari; the hot peppers add a nice zing! For entrees, we had the Halibut with spinach & mushrooms, and the Chilean Sea bass. The sea bass had the fish taste I was craving for! The Halibut was cooked to perfection and is a hefty portion, I couldn't finish it. Speaking of which, the 2 sides are VERY generous portions as well. My taste buds say YES, but my stomach capacity pleaded Nooo. However, there is always room for dessert; we had cappucinos with the Special of the Day Bread Pudding, and a creme brulee. The bread pudding comes with vanilla ice cream, tasted like an autumn pie ☺️ and I loved how fresh the fat blueberries were on top of the smooth creme brulee! The only disappointment was the limoncello; theirs was a creamy type instead of it being light and bright. Side note: The inner front door is in dire need of lubrication... that shrieking squeaking dissonance absolutely ruins the atmosphere. It seemed frivolous at first, but upon talking to the Manager (turquoise tie), he apologized and acknowledged the issue. I appreciated his temporary solution of keeping the door open. With the popularity and value of this establishment, I would hope that the Owner resolves that with the proper tools ASAP. I was tempted to pick up a silicone WD40 and apply it for them good grief.

We had a great meal with great service! Started off with splitting the Lobster Bisque Soup and then my wife had a fish dish and I had the Lober and Scallop Ravioli which were both phenomenal. We finished outlet meal with the Creme Brulee which was as good as our dinners were. The service was as good as the food if not better. Would I go back again, HECK yes... BTW, make reservations, it will make your life easier.

No doubt the best clam chowder in Boston. I’ll be back time and time again to eat it. The beet salad is large and perfectly balanced with a big hunk of fried goat cheese. The bread basket is very generous and actually great bread. 10/10 all around!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Atlantic Fish Company. We ordered the Nantucket-style baked cod with corn pudding and green beans, and the Chilean sea bass with lobster ravioli. The cod was perfectly cooked—flaky and full of flavor—but the real standout was the corn pudding. It was light, fluffy, and packed with flavor, making it a showstopper on the plate. The Chilean sea bass was meaty and flavorful, while the lobster ravioli was cooked to a perfect al dente and equally delicious. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was cozy, though it can get a bit noisy during peak times. Overall, a great seafood spot that we’ll visit again. Many reviewers mentioned the prices were high, we would say they were average.

We've been going here for years! Food is great! Staff is amazing!! One caveat.... Extremely disappointed that some idiot decided to take the original Peppermint Pie and Key Lime Pie off the dessert menu. Makes zero sense that they would remove 2 items they were unique to the restaurant and absolutely delicious. It always sold it so we started asking them to put a piece aside for us before we even ordered our drinks. I've attached a pic of the Peppermint Pie. Hopefully they bring it back!!!

After several disappointing visits to Legal Seafood, we looked for an alternative and this is it. Every time we come to town, we come here. Fish is just always done perfectly. Service is very attentive and professional. Atmosphere inside is also comfortable with tables spaced accordingly. New England clam chowder is as classic as it gets and the tuna tartar was a nice surprise. More mild than at a sushi restaurant, but a very fresh tuna taste. This time, we had the halibut, cod, and haddock for our mains. As with our previous visits, everything was just done 100% perfectly. Recommend the mushroom melange and the corn pudding sides which were both special and unexpected. As always, we will be back!

Stopped by this place at the end of my Boston trip and it was snowing like crazy, but this clam chowder in a bread bowl brought me back to life. It was overflowing and very tasty. This place gets very crowded so would definitely recommend getting reservations. I had one and still had to sit at like a high-top bar area as a solo diner.

John D.

Yelp
Food. Wow. Amazing. Worth the money and they weren't being greedy by giving a little. Actually felt full from just one main course and an appetizer. Service was good despite being so busy. Very crowded. You're going to make new friends. But cool atmosphere and lots of sounds and noises. Wait time crazy!!!

My family has been to Atlantic Fish many times over the years. It's a great place for everything from a celebration to a business meal to a date night. The price point is relatively high, but the quality of food as well as the service is great. The clam chowder has always been my favorite and is super fresh with the perfect amount of seasoning.

Went with my team to dinner here. We arrived around 5:30 and by the time I left at 8:00, the place was packed. Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Very attentive to our table. I am that guy who ordered pork chops at a fish restaurant but I was not disappointed. The pork chop was huge and had good flavor. A bit overcooked but overall tasty. The best part of the meal for me was the dessert. I got a Boston Crème pie, and it did not disappoint. Portion size was perfect after a large meal. The restaurant has a fun ambiance to it. Feels like you step back in time when you eat here. Definitely worth a go.

Delicious food and lots of options. Make a reservation it's popping! We waited half an hour to sit outside and it was cozy - heated! The service was nice and somewhat quick. We met ruined that we want to share everything and they ended splitting everything in half. We shared the lobster roll and that was phenomenal. SO MUCH LOBSTER! The octopus appetizer was delicious as well but not necessary if you are getting lobster roll and a clam chowder bread ball.

Old / upscale feel with good tapas and drinks. We stopped in prior to a Sox game and will return again. Oysters were on point and the mixed drinks were awesome

Yelp
Overall, great food and service. I wanted to get the lobster bisque, but after reading the reviews - I opted for the clam chowder instead. Chowder was thick and creamy, but more potatoes than clams. Calamari was a bit on the skinny side. Now for the entrees... I enjoyed the sea bass, but didn't care too much for the ravioli that came with it. There wasn't enough sauce for it either. If you are debating - 100% get the lobster carbonara. Soooo worth the price and the best dish out of all the entrees that we ordered. Plenty of lobster meat in the dish and the flavor was fantastic.

Service was amazing. I ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo, server recommend since I was craving something mild spicy and it did not dissapoint

Chris C.

Yelp
-- Chowder 4.5 -- Lobster roll 4 -- Atmosphere: 4 Good, thick chowder with lots of flavor and no floury taste. Elegant presentation with very small dice of potatoes but didn't love the two artisanal homemade crackers - oyster crackers are iconic for a reason Lobster roll slightly smaller than expected amount of lobster meat diced fairly small which makes it seem less generous. decently dressed with celery, on a grilled hot dog bun - . Good fries could be slightly crispier . Overall just slightly disappointing for the $40 price. Pretty upscale (and expensive) but quite elegant with a tasteful blue and white and mahogany interior. Nautical without being cloying. Small and again elegant patio out front.

Have been coming here for 25 years and it just gets better with time! Always loved it but went recently and had one of the best meals I've ever had there! Love the location and the service too. Keep up the amazing brand- so terrific.

They sent us to the bar for a possible table. It was chaotic. The couple whose seats we took said they had a resevation for 45 minutes ago! Same with the couple next to them. The bartender was trying his best!!! The halibut was all right.

Atlantic Fish Co. is a Boylston St. favorite for dinner and known for their classic New England seafood fare but definitely are slept on as a brunch spot! My husband and I started with a special brunch cocktail, a Lavender Spritz made with Bombay Sapphire, St. Germain, Lemon Juice, Lavender Syrup and Soda Water and a Castle Island Brewing White Ale, a Belgian-Style Wheat Beer brewed with Valencia oranges and coriander. Both of which paired so well with our entrée choices! I ordered the Baked Halibut Shakshuka, one of my favorite brunch dishes is Shakshuka and as our server described it, "a twist on the traditional Dish substituting halibut for eggs. It's a little sweet, a little spicy and one of the most popular dishes", I can sure see why! I sopped up all of this with the perfectly grilled sourdough bread and jokingly told our server I want a jar of it and she said I wasn't the first person to ask and how delicious it would be on everything from toast, pasta and more! My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash, that came out in a sizzling cast iron pan with corned beef hash, soft eggs and a mustard hollandaise which he really enjoyed and to balance out out savory dishes, we also decided to split the Caramelized Apple French Toast, made with challah bread, cinnamon mascarpone cream, as well! This was decadent and so delicious! All 3 dishes were absolutely delicious and we both walked away from the meal surprised this brunch menu hasn't received the fanfare it deserves! & for my fellow beer lovers, while Atlantic Fish is known for their extensive wine menu, I was impressed with their beer selection, especially local options! Brunch is available Saturday - Sunday 11AM - 3PM, in addition to their full Dinner Menu.

Service was good, food was good, although I wasn't wow'ed or overly impressed. Solid 4-4.5 and great date night place.

Came here on the way home from a ball game. Saw they have chowder in a bread bowl and sounded so good. Vibe is definitely on the classier end but can also just come and chill at the bar. Enjoyed the bread bowl and a glass of wine. Service was friendly.

Very popular place,definitely recommend reservations. We arrived at 9pm for our reservation and the place was still packed. We were taken care of by Tony. He was funny, charismatic and very attentive. We each started with their award winning clam Chowder; it was delicious, creamy and the perfect blend of all the ingredients. Then we had the lobster crab Louie, yum!! That was delicious too, fresh, refreshing and the avocado with tomatoes really gave it beautiful combination of flavors. We shared the New England Cioppino. It was big enough to share and I'm glad we did because we were able to finish it and still room for a bite of dessert. That we could not finish. They gave healthy portions This place is a seafood lovers dream. Will definitely be returning when we come back into Bosto

My hubby brought me here for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere is lovely. We were greeted at the podium and I was told happy birthday which was a nice start. Our table was in the back in a rounded booth. The tables are quite cramped together so our space was a bit uncomfortable but we made it work. We started with some delicious craft mocktails and appetizers which were top notch. We shared the catch of the day which was cooked perfectly but didn't have much flavor, and the lobster carbonara which was to die for. Our server was great, but never made mention of my birthday. I was thinking a dessert or something would come out, but nothing like it. We didn't order dessert because often times something is brought out as a birthday treat and if you order you're then drowning in sweets. Oh well. We left with full bellies from a great meal.

We came here based on reviews for seafood and SO glad we picked here. The atmosphere was perfect and we had great service. The Oysters Rockefeller appetizer was full of flavor. We tried raw oysters as well they were great. Crab crusted cod and seafood fra diavolo were our entrees- AMAZING. The pasta was on the spicy side which I love. Overall fresh flavorful food, great cocktails, great service, and nice environment for dinner.

Sat at the bar for a solo dinner. Quick service with friendly staff. Semi-loud spot but was fun people watching at the bar. The bacon wrapped scallops were good but not my vibe. Think its the mustard and I'm not a mustard person but that's on me not the restaurant. The clam chowder is really good and not watery either. Overall, I'd come back to try more food!

Yelp
People kept saying the perfect clam chowder exists here so we had to check it out and we once again had to believe in the power of democracy. We got the clam chowder in a bread bowl $13 and the waiter kindly divided it up for us so we can split it like civilized humans. And omg it was definitely the best I've had. There was a good amount of clam in the chowder with a fresh ocean taste instead of the usual starchy bland flavor. Of course we had to get the fried calamari $21 and it was mediocre. A little on the salty side and kinda greasy at the end. The lobster carbonara on the special was out of this world (I forgot $$ maybe ~50)! The noodles were perfectly al dente, perfectly coated in butter and spices. The crispy bacon added flavor to the lobster. And there were sizable chunks of lobster, something a pitiful insatiable seafood fiend like me truly cares about. The service was really fast and pleasant. The place filled up quick, we got a table at 6pm on a Friday but there was a line when we were leaving. The restaurant has kinda a busy and fast-paced vibe, perfect for family gatherings or go with people you can't stand for more than 10 minutes but still miss their presence every ten years or so.

Great Saturday night family dining experience. The service was top notch with our friendly and attentive server, Yoshi and the entire team there. The food was delicious and even better, came out timely! Everyone enjoyed their various fish entrees. Would certainly return.

The seafood here is phenomenal- extremely fresh and cooked perfectly! Loved the vibe and atmosphere, great location, and our server was outstanding! Prices are a bit high, but on par for what you'd see in the main core of the city - and the quality backs it up. We came in later in the evening on a Monday night and it was super busy - but they were able to seat us on their patio right away. They had heaters and it was so lovely. Great views of the city and awesome for people watching. To start, we chose the beet and goat cheese salad and omg it's SO good!! It's topped with candied pecans and comes with a lovely piece of fried goat cheese on the side - it was so light and delicious- I loved it. For our dinner, we ended up going for the paella - it's expensive but would've been about the same if we'd ordered two separate dinners anyways so it worked out. The portion is massive and comes with generous amounts of the freshest seafood - soft flaky whitefish, giant shrimp, plump clams and mussels, chorizo and chicken - with all the seafood coming right from the Boston harbor that day!! Doesn't get much more fresh and local than that! It was flavorful and cooked perfectly - came out steamy and sizzling - we almost at the whole thing lol!! Our server was so sweet, personable and very attentive - great service all around. The patio is chic and relaxing - with stellar views and definitely makes you want to linger and savor your meal. We had an all around excellent experience and would definitely come back next time we're in Boston.

Yelp
Good but not a lot more, I'd do 3.5 stars if I could. Strengths: location, service, the swordfish Weaknesses: some of the food (e.g., soft shell crabs wildly over-breaded), sides were old and tired. Unremarkable: the clam chowder, disappointing in fact; friend clams overbreaded I'm not a Boston expert but I'm thinking Little Whale and Saltie Girl are both better and not far away.

Yelp
I cannot rave enough about this place; everything from the food, ambiance, and service hit a home run. This is a must visit place if you are in Boston! They seated and served our large party with ease and the food and drinks came out quickly. I desperately wanted the Shellfish Tower, but had no one to share it with, so opted for the Chilean Sea Bass. It did not disappoint - was cooked and seasoned well and loved the mushrooms it sat atop. The East coast oysters were delicious, fresh, and just a touch briny which I loved. The calamari was a tad overcooked, but delicious nonetheless. The crown jewel was the Baked Alaska which was flamed tableside. It had a light peppermint flavor, which was a nice surprise.

To start off, the food was actually really good and I have no complaints when it comes to the quality of the food. Great clam chowder and lobster roll. Here's why this place only gets 2/5 stars from me. Let me give you a hint: service. My wife and I came here after driving from NYC in the morning because we wanted a good clam chowder and I wanted a lobster roll. I found this place and the reviews were good and everyone was raving about their clam chowder. It was a little pricier but we figured why not. Let's give it a shot. We placed our names in around 7:10 pm on a Tuesday. They seemed quite busy but we opted for first available seating. We had the chance to look at the menu and knew what we wanted. A clam chowder in a bread bowl and a lobster roll. We got seated within 5-10 minutes which was nice. Seated outside of course. Our server, Christopher, came by and gave us menus and asked if we wanted anything to drink. My wife and I really only wanted the items we came here for so we politely told him water was fine. He brought out bread and took our order. The bread was really good by the way. However, that was the last time any type of "service" was provided at this restaurant from Christopher. My wife was thirsty and drank all her water. During our meal, we saw our server grab a pitcher of water and filled up everyone else's water EXCEPT ours. My wife purposefully set down her empty glass as he was heading our direction and he purposely ignored it and left to chat with other people. Second, he was chatty with all the other tables around us EXCEPT ours. As a matter of fact. He didn't even check in on how our food was after it was delivered. He didn't even deliver the food. Someone else did. Third, our food took forever to arrive. I get it. It's busy. But people that got seated before us got their meals first and they ordered a lot more than us. Forth, we just felt ignored by our server. I get it. We're not the table that spent the most money that evening. Doesn't excuse the lack of service. I'm still a paying customer and was very disappointed at the lack of service, especially at a higher end restaurant. The only good news is I saved on tips that night because the amount I tip is based off service. If you come here, make sure to order a lot otherwise Christopher might not give you good service.

I love seafood, but Atlantic Fish Company misses some marks. It has history and certain items on a menu that present decent lunch or dinner. Atlantic Fish Company has a very clean venue and the decor is quaint and adorable. The restaurant is on the higher end based off of the ambiance and pricing. With that said, service is trying to be on the upper end and it was decent. There was a MASSIVE error on the dessert that I had gotten and they provided the refund but for the potential danger and how bad it ended up, I am surprised they even let it happen. Maybe because we seemed like a younger group, but nonetheless should have been treated the same as any other that they allowed a new person to flambe. They joked that they could accidentally burn me, which at first I thought "Oh no way" but then I saw he was nervous. The dessert was also burnt to the high heavens. Every bite was like black tar. That's when I knew and should have known it was burnt badly. This situation is an outlier, but is something that should be said especially with my own safety and personal experience versus their intended service. Other than that, the major issues came with the pricing and the food quality. Scallops could have been seared better and for 5 scallops at around 20-30 bucks, it has a level of quality it needed to reach. Agave Maria has some tough competition. It was decent. The best items were the Crab Crusted Haddock and the Clam Chowder. Those items were cooked well and had plenty of flavor. The haddock was easily ONE OF THE best I have ever had in my life. It just sucks to see everything else overshadow that beauty. Clam Chowder is great and is a must try as well.

My experience here was excellent. I dropped in for lunch on a co-workers recommendation. Seating was quick, followed by my water and a bread basket. The warm bread that was crispy outside and soft inside was delicious with the butter that was at the perfect texture and easy to spread. I had the broiled haddock and chose mushrooms and scalloped potatoes as my sides. The haddock was flakey with the right texture and taste as it was cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were piping hot, clearly just prepared with butter and garlic. The potatoes had a crust of cheese (Swiss?) and the portion was as big as the haddock. This was overkill for a lunch and it appeared like the menu was the same as dinner, so prices were on the high side, but the quality of the food and service makes up for it..

Loved this place! Went for lunch. Great table by windows with a view. Delicious drinks and food. Restaurant was packed at 1pm. Server was great! The best fried calamari we have ever had! I will be back here when I return to Boston!

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston! The service, the food, the ambiance is all amazing!! Love their sangria too & the fresh bread they serve before the meal. This visit I had the lobster bisque and steamed lobster, so delicious!!! Highly recommend. My mom got the clam chowder & lobster ravioli and by far the best clam chowder I've ever had!! Love love love!

Came here for my sister's graduation on a very busy Sunday night. We called ahead to get a reservation and was seated 1-2 minutes after our designated time. The service was very slow for how busy they were in my opinion at this price point, however I will say that our server was better than average. Everything came out quite slow especially after we were done with the appetizers. But overall the food was very delicious and I liked the decor and vibes of the restaurant. Would come again.

Yanni P.

Yelp
First off, the service I received was superb. Our server made sure to fold our napkins if we stepped away, brought out hot towels after we finished the seafood tower, and checked on us often to make sure our food was perfect. Every dish we ordered was well portioned and came out hot. Since we ordered a lot, our server timed the dishes to come out in waves. My favorite of our lunch was definitely the seafood tower! All the shell fish was fresh and they had made it so easy for us to eat the lobster. I really enjoyed my espresso martini and it had just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. Our table was near the front of the restaurant. The dining area was very comfortable and clean. It was such a nice lunch and I would come back again.

My family and I visited Atlantic Fish to celebrate my mother's birthday while we were visiting Boston. We sat in the bar area and had the pleasure of being served by the kindest server named, Wember. From the start, his menu recommendations were spot on and he even shared some incredible "locals only" info about Boston and surrounding areas to visit. We visited nearly every city and place of if interest he recommend and had a wonderful time. In addition, Wember went above and beyond to make my mother's birthday extremely special! I wish every restaurant offered this level of customer service. We would absolutely go back in a heartbeat whenever we are back in New England! A few menu recommendations are: the calamari, baked cod, halibut, scalloped potatoes, and don't forget the Boston Cream Pie! To the management staff: please give Wember a fat raise and a promotion! He's a gem! Thanks again, Wember! You are awesome!

Yelp
Service was alright. Felt a little rushed by the waiter even though it wasn't that busy. He also forgot one of our orders. Not the best lobster roll I've had in Boston. My friend's fries were hot, but mine were cold. The interior makes it look like a more upscale place, but that might be for price inflation. I recommend reservations if you're looking to give it a try. It was busy on a Tuesday night for a party of 3. Overall, there are better places.

Solid seafood spot in Back Bay. Overall atmosphere: good for business lunches and client dinners, family get-togethers, a tad stuffier than some of the other nearby seafood spots like Select or Saltie Girl. I love a good complimentary bread basket with butter, wish more places in Boston kept this tradition. - Oysters: mix of West and East Coast. Compared to others I've enjoyed over the summer, these were on the puny, shrunken side. Some lacked any liquid. - Clam chowder: not bad but also not the best I've ever had, was extremely heavy (maybe flour or starch used for thickening) without any accompanying boost in taste. I did like the mini biscuit added to the soup. - My aunt and I shared the whole branzino with spinach and mushrooms. The waitstaff kindly split everything into two dishes for us. Even with half the dish, I had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. Just know that the entree portions are quite sizable. My cousin ordered the lobster thermidor with mushrooms and sherry cream sauce, and the picture doesn't do the sheer size of the thing justice. You could have fed a whole family with that one dish. Our waitress was sweet and personable, making sure we were all satisfied. I'd come back for the service alone. Parking: a few garages in the area, street parking is impossible.

The best seafood around. The clam chowder is incredible. I had the halibut with the herb crust, amazing. They also have great service.

Stopped by here on a Wednesday after work around 6:30. Easily grabbed a seat outside. The waiter dude was great -forgot his name. I ordered the lobster bisque and crab cake entree. Lobster bisque was ok. I've had better pretty much everywhere else. Crab cakes were solid. Nothing to write home about. Overall this place was solid. I don't have any complaints other than I guess I had higher expectations for a place on Boylston street. Will I go back? Probably not. Nothing wrong with this place but if I'm on Boylston I made as well spend my money at a steak house.

The restaurant is perfect for holiday meal.. it is elegant. The inside is much bigger than I expected. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive. but I think you should order fish dishes at the Atlantic fish restaurant. I made mistake to order pasta dishes which was little disappointing since we had tried Mamma Maria. The pasta dishes is so much better at Mamma Maria so next time I would only order fish dishes here. 3 of us ordered fish dishes. they were all delicious. Those included Sea Bass, Cod and haddock. but Lobster Carbonara and Lob & Seal Ravioli were some disappointing because they were over cooked. For pasta, you should go to North End. but we all enjoyed the Lobster Crab Louie which was a creative and delicious.

The pasta was overcooked but the Fra Diavolo was flavorful and the seared scallops were good. Definitely not worth the price. My friends got the lobster roll, which was decent. We waited for roughly 30 minutes for a table for 3 on a Monday night. Service wasn't fast. They also forgot our lobster bisque order. Overall, I would say a good spot for a social meal.

Saturday lunch. I like how this place is proper yet family friendly. I liked seeing the weekend bustle with families large and small (including my own). Ordered: clam chowder, lobster bisque, lobster crab louie, crispy calamari, crab cake benedict, cold lobster roll My favorite item was the clam chowder. My brother liked the lobster crab louie. My parents liked the complimentary bread. Clam chowder is very meaty and flavorful. We didn't want the bread bowl soaking up all the soup so opted for just a cup size. Lobster bisque can be skipped. It's surprisingly lacking in ocean flavor. I find that ironic considering how much lobster they go through here, unless they mostly just stock up on meat. Lobster crab louie. I'm normally wary of seafood salads because of the dressing. The one here is very refreshing especially with their tomato and avocado. My family really liked their presentation of stacking in a round mold and arranging endives around the sides. Crispy calamari. The batter is a bit soggy and thick but flavorwise we liked it. It was fun to get bits of fried pepper and pickles. I like how they have a sock for the lemon to catch falling seeds and reduce juice flying all over the place. I will assume they wash it in between uses. Crab cake benedict was recommended to us by our server. We didn't like the crab cake because it was too dry and salty. The potato and peppers stir fry on the side was more interesting. We asked for added avocado on the side and they only charged $2 or $3. Lobster roll cold. The bread and fries were mediocre. We only finished the lobster meat. It's not comparable to Banks but still very solid.

My absolute favorite seafood restaurant in the Boston area. High quality food, excellent menu, great cocktails, and top-notch service. I go here at least six times a year and I don't even live in the area!

Just average this time. We were here about a year ago and something has chanced from 2023 to 2024. New Chef? New management? Something happened. No where near as good as it was last year. I had the full Branzino and just no flavor. No seasoning in anything and no sauce. Just lack of attention to detail. Got the baked alaska for desert and they didnt sit it out. Right from the freezer to the plate to the table. You couldn't cut through it. It was a brick. Quite dissapointing we thought we found our forever place in our yearly visit to Boston. Now a new search begins. We respectfully pass on this place.

We've been numerous times and we are never disappointed. The restaurant is very attentive to gluten allergies. They even have a GF basket of bread available. The chowder rated a 9 on our family scale. The stew and bisque also rated 8/9. On our last visit my husband had the Dover sole which was amazing. I typically go for the scallops with sticky rice and mushrooms. So good. Two of my kids ordered the fish and chips - the size was monstrous and they should have split one dish (even for a 19 and 17 year old). My other son had oysters and a lobster. He was thrilled with both and preferred the Island Creek to the Wellfleet ones. The prices are high but well worth it. The quality of ingredients and preparation is fantastic. Our server was so attentive and knowledgeable I wish I could remember his name! Ambiance is also beyond lovely. Keep up the good work Atlantic Fish!

This place exceeded my expectations when it came to service. Our waiter was Tony who upon greeting us was literally so attentive to our needs for the entirety of our stay . To drink recommendations and giving us tips on what to order next time he is definitely an asset to this business. We came to this restaurant with the hopes of eating lobster roll and it was amazing . Tony made sure to bring us extra butter and kept the bread coming. The only reason this place did not get 5 stars is because the lobster was ever so slightly over cooked .

When is Boston you gotta go with seafood. We came into Atlantic Fish for lunch on a Monday and didn't have any probably getting a table. I will say most seats were full so we for sure got lucky. We started off with drinks and since I knew I was going to be getting seafood I had to get a drink that tastes like the sea so I went with the Atlantic Fish Co. Martini (dirty) and you get the option of Bleu Cheese Olives or Lump Crab so I of course went with the Lump Crab. I will say too this martini was very good and they give you a nice sized piece of Lump Crab so you can't beat it. We had also not yet had oysters so we had to order a half dozen East Coast Oysters. Let me tell you, these were the best raw oysters I have ever had. They are pricy but man I could have eaten these all day. Plus I love everything they bring with them and the display. They are a must. For my entrée I was having a hard time since so much on the menu sounded amazing. I was in between 2 things: The Maine Lobster Roll and the Housemade Lobster & Scallop Ravioli, of course the two things I literally had the day before, a Lobster Roll and pasta. I will say I ended up with the Housemade Lobster & Scallop Ravioli and I'm very glad I did. It comes with 5 ravioli which doesn't sound like a lot but these ravioli are very big and packed with lobster and scallops. Plus the also have pieces of lobster on top so again best of both worlds. The Housemade Lobster & Scallop Ravioli was amazing and so rich but not too much. I will say 5 ravioli is really all I needed because they really fill you up. I believe this might have been the best seafood ravioli I had ever had. Ashley had the Lobster Crab Louie which I also got to try a good amount of. This dish was very light but so fresh. I will say I for sure felt healthy eating it. I'm never one who is going to complain about getting to eat extra crab and lobster. Atlantic Fish is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing staff. If you want some great fresh seafood and don't mine spending a little more for sure check them out.

easiest 5/5 ever - absolutely phenomenal experience here. the service was impeccable without feeling too pushy, although we did have to wait a bit because the table in front of us seemed to have a lot of allergy requests. ambiance was lovely and very high end. as for the food: the bread was crunchy on the outside while being soft on the inside and the butter just MELTED right into it. the chilean sea bass was soft, light, buttery and airy while still being perfectly crispy on the exterior. the lobster ravioli was the most incredible side dish to pair - i would get this alone!! it's soft on the inside and every bite was so tender. the lobster crab louie was creamy too - the lobster and crab blended together so well with the avocado, literally melting into your mouth. you could tell every ingredient there was sourced fresh!!! these were definitely my two favorite dishes. the pasta was also well done - a classic red dish pasta that's perfectly al dente and had a bit of kick in it at the end due to the spice. scallops on here were seared well. this was also my first time trying the boston cream pie which i was very happy with - an amazing light finish to dinner. 12/10 would recommend coming here if possible!!!!!!!!

Great place for seafood in a fine dining restaurant. We got the lobster bisque (good), tuna tartare (highly recommend!! this dish was burst of flavors with soy sauce, wasabi and paired well with the raw tuna), and fried calamari (nothing special, they gave us a lot of peppers with ok amount of calamari). We sat by the window and it was nice. The interior of the restaurant is classy with ample amount of seatings and full service bar. Our server was friendly and attentive. No strict dress code. Food: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Experience: 8/10 Value: 8/10

Great ambiance and even better food. The service was great and we got in pretty quickly on short notice. The fish was caught that day and I could tell by the taste. Love this place!
