We had reserved the private room for a post graduation luncheon last week. The food and service could not have been better. The lobster and crab louie were to die for and the crusted tuna was some of the best I've ever had. All of our guest were truly impressed.

Wow, what a fantastic find for us on our first ever trip to Boston. We both had the clam chowder which was wonderful. I had the lobster my wife had the sea bass. Both meals were superb. The whole place was very busy and yet the service was to a very high standard. Our waiter was knowledgable and helpful. We... More

We were in Boston for a few days and met with relatives at this highly rated restaurant for an anticipated mixture of great seafood. What we received, however, was okay. Not bad yet far from the mouth watering flavors found in many of the New England seafood eateries. The chowder and bisque were good, the lobster ravioli was very good... More

This restaurant was so great we had dinner here two nights in a row. The service was incredible, and seemed pretty busy even though we waiting until late to eat. The lobster roll was amazing, as well as the lobster bisque soup. After traveling into FL later in the week, the portions at other restaurants for the lobster in the... More

We wanted to go somewhere special for our son's graduation celebration. We needed something that would appeal to both generations and be worthy of the occasion. The Atlantic was the perfect choice. We're generally wary of this class of restaurant as the food and service is usually overdone and the service obsequious to the point of being off putting. Here... More

We live near Boston and hadn't tried the Atlantic Fish Company. It has a bustling, charming interior, but the food was average at best. The meal started with watered-down drinks (usually an indication of things to come) and a somewhat limp salad. I had a lovely piece of sole, but the garlic crumb topping had no taste of garlic and...

We enjoyed a meal of the very freshest seafood! The waiter showed us a live 7lb lobster! Great service and good prices.

We had lunches and dinners at this wonderful place. The seafood was unfailingly fresh and well prepared. Our favourites were their lobster ravioli, jumbo crab cakes, clam chowder and steamed mussels. I cannot say enough good things about their lobster ravioli. It was rich yes but totally calorie well-spent. The ambience was great, especially in the evening. It was formal... More

We went in at the height of the lunch rush and were seated within minutes despite how busy they were. After eating there, even if we HAD waited, it would have been worth it. The chowder was excellent - thick and creamy - and the crab melt sandwich was recommended by the server with good reason! The fish and chips... More

My son and I visited Boston for the first time (March '13), and knew we had to eat some really good seafood while we were there. Based on reviews we read, we decided this was the place we wanted to go. Atlantic Fish Co. did not disappoint. The entire meal was fantastic - we both had a cup of clam... More
