Hook + Line

"New England seafood restaurant offering nostalgic seaside dishes and modern plates that closed after a year due to sustainability issues." - Erika Adams

"Hook + Line was a well-received seafood restaurant in the Seaport area, known for mixing classic New England seafood staples with modern twists. It was recognized by Boston Magazine and Eater, and praised by the Boston Globe." - Erika Adams

"Hook + Line is a modern seafood restaurant with a sleek interior with subtle nautical touches — plus, great waterfront views during the summer. The full-service restaurant menu leans heavily into their wood-fired grill, with grilled salmon and swordfish along with New England classics like fried clams and lobster rolls. Open for lunch and dinner, you can enjoy the lobster roll served two ways, or take your colleagues and share scallops and lobster plates." - Tanya Edwards

"Newcomer to the now-bustling Seaport, Hook + Line offers wonders of wood-fired grilled seafood, from swordfish steak to tiger prawns with a squid and tasso ham XO sauce. Among the menu packed with surprises — grilled hot dog with white sturgeon caviar, anyone? — perhaps the biggest surprise is that the clam chowder is gluten-free. Skip the oyster crackers, and even those with gluten sensitivity can enjoy the rich and creamy chowder that’s balanced by salty bacon." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle

"Hook + Line is a step above all the overpriced chains that look like enormous glass boxes in the Seaport. The restaurant has downright lovely bay views, lots of sea blue tile, and big wood booths with cozy cushions. The seafood here isn’t cheap, but they nail the details, with a wood-fired grill that gives dishes like the bone-in monkfish and tuna steak a smoky char. The menu changes frequently, but if the half lobster broil with creamy, salty lobster roe bechamel is available, order it yesterday." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
