"New England farm-to-table cooking shines here, with a stunning waterfront dining room and dishes like Rhode Island whelk in coconut lobster broth with green apple and makrut lime that prove the Seaport has substance as well as style." - Megan Spurrell, Arati Menon

"On weekends I plan my brunch around the Lobster Popover at Woods Hill Pier 4: chef Charlie Foster's elegant, light riff on the lobster roll pairs local lobster with a warm popover from artisan The Popover Lady and is offered only on Saturdays and Sundays, making it a dish worth scheduling your entire weekend for." - Todd Plummer

"Woods Hill Pier 4 prioritizes an ancestral diet of ethical, regenerative, small-batch producers and farmers, with many ingredients—even some meats—coming from owner Kristin Canty’s farm in New Hampshire." - Todd Plummer

"Practicing near-obsessive farm-to-table sourcing—much of the meat raised by owner Kristin Canty and produce grown on her farm—this Seaport restaurant turns hyper-local, seasonal ingredients into vivid flavors: lamb ribs with Urfa pepper, housemade bucatini all'amatriciana with guanciale from Woods Hill pigs, charred broccoli bursting with flavor, and a decadent Pier 4 caviar service served with warm popovers." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon

"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, jonathan smith
