Fresh oysters, lovely soft-shell crab for me; excellent chowder and perfect scallops for my partner - who's not happy? And a special thanks to our server Michelle who is one of my best in the last 3 years at least.

You need reservations here as this place is very active. We waited a few minutes at the bar for our window table. I went for the lobster which was taken out of the shell for me, prepared simply and served with the classic drawn butter, corn and boiled potatoes. Just perfect. I also had the clam chowder for a classic... More

Seafood restaurants similar to this one are plentiful in Boston. Oysters, fish, lobsters, clams, etc... In my years of coming to the Boston / Cambridge area, I have eaten at many of these establishments. They are never bad as it's hard to ruin the excellent seafood caught in these waters. Yet those meals have always been quickly forgotten. Until now.... More

We had never heard of this restaurant and went in because it "looked"nice. We ordered Fried Shrimp, and I must say it was the best fried shrimp I've ever eaten. The batter was "light" and kind of melted in "your mouth!" The shrimp were large and tasted wonderful. Our waitress did not hold a candle to other waitresses we had... More

Dined here on a Monday might with a reservation and even though we had to wait for the guests without a reservation to clear, we were seated promptly. Service was efficient and friendly and we were not rushed at all during our two hour dining experience. Everything we ordered, chowder, lobster appetizer, lobster ravioli, giant scallops was excellent. Even the... More

I had lunch at the Atlantic Fish Company and I was disappointed after reviewing the reviews. The food was good but certainly not as stunning as expected. The service was good.

Was there recent Saturday night with my wife for a weekend in Boston. Had reservations, but had to wait 25 minuates as it was a busy Sasturday night. That is fine, and not a problem. Went to the bar for a drink. Ordered mussels for an appetizer, wow what a disapointment. So small, snails seemed large! could not believe how... More

Boston seems to have a great fish restaurant on almost every corner these days. Atlantic seafood offers a white table cloth option. The Lobster Crab. Louis appetizer was completely different from what I expected but was the best I've ever tasted.
