Woods Hill Pier 4 is a charming Seaport eatery boasting stunning harbor views and a farm-to-table menu featuring standout dishes like their iconic lobster popover.
"Woods Hill Pier 4 has lovely water views and fresh New England fare — seek out dishes featuring ingredients from the company’s New Hampshire farm, such as pork shoulder with green tomato glaze and mushrooms on polenta." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Woods Hill Pier 4 might seem like it's all about the views. And sure, sitting on their patio right next to the harbor during a warm spring day is great, but the quality of the food tops that. Make a reservation for brunch when it’s nice out, gaze at some boats passing by, and try the lobster popover that’s very fancy and very high on our lobster roll power ranking. The shellfish tower and buttermilk fried chicken and waffles are also musts, and the latter comes with a housemade ranch you’ll want to put on everything (OK, maybe besides the raw oysters)." - tanya edwards
"At Woods Hill Pier 4, the food and harbor views will constantly battle for your attention. This is a good thing, because both are excellent. We love the smoky adelita margarita, the Cubano with ham and pork shoulder confit on the butteriest baguette, and any towering shellfish platter that comes, naturally, with Old Bay aioli. Go for brunch on a sunny day to sit in a comfy booth, gaze out the floor-to-ceiling windows, and try the lobster popover (possibly the fanciest lobster roll on our list) that’s reached celebrity status around town. We’ve seen Mindy Kaling getting down with one. They’re also really serious about food sourcing: they run and operate their own farm that supplies most of the restaurant’s meat, produce, and dairy." - tanya edwards
"One of the best spots for brunch in Boston also has one of the most unique takes on the classic lobster roll. Served at brunch and lunch only, the lobster is mixed with crème fraîche, celery, and red onion, and then piled high on a warm, split New England popover. The giant muffin has a similar texture to a croissant, and you should use it to scoop all that sweet lobster meat while enjoying a harbor view that might be the only thing competing with your popover covered in lobster." - tanya edwards, team infatuation
"Find $1 oysters at the bar only from Monday through Wednesday, 5 to 6 p.m., at this harborfront seafood spot. (Note: There’s a limit of 12 per customer.)" - Celina Colby, Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
