"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
"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, grace kelly

"Looking for farm-to-table fare and waterfront views? Try Woods Hill Pier 4, which can accommodate groups of up to 18 for a seated meal in a private dining room or larger events of up to 200 for a standing reception in a full restaurant buyout. Brunch, lunch, and dinner event menus are available. Go to the restaurant’s website for more information and to fill out the event form." - Erika Adams
"Woods Hill Pier 4’s lobster roll is also a bit of an iconoclast in that it is not served on the more traditional New England-style hot dog bun. Instead, the restaurant packs loads of lobster meat into a split-open popover — traditions be damned. Find it on the weekend brunch menu." - Erika Adams
