Woods Hill Pier 4 offers a dining experience like no other! Nestled by the water, the ambiance is both elegant and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The farm-to-table concept shines through in every dish, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that burst with flavor.

Last night, I joined some old colleagues at The Perfect Pair, an event co-sponsored by American Lamb and Grgich Hills Estate and held at Woods Hill Pier 4 in Boston. It turns out that many of the vinyards in Napa Valley use sheep to support sustainable winemaking efforts. Sheep can help with weed control, soil health, and fire prevention. Plus, owner Kristin Canty and Chef Charlie Foster bring their passions of food, family farms, and sustainable sourcing to Pier 4. So, the pairing of wine with lamb at was an opportunity to learn more about this emerging trend as well as to have a great meal.

Great food, cocktails and atmosphere. Hard to beat the location in the seaport district. Good variety on the menu from seafood to meat dishes. On my list of places to go when friends or family visit.

$1 oysters for a group of ruffians was the perfect plan. But the atmosphere is stodgy and stiff, and coming out of the Boston rain we felt a little out of place. That said, our bartender was super cool and didn't give a * we looked a little bit worse than the rats who lived outside. (or inside the million dollar condos above this restaurant. ((but that's just me editorializing.)))Drinks are dope, draft beer is reasonably priced, and the oysters are absolutely PEAK and DELICIOUS.This place is a slam dunk for their staff, and their food. And if elegance is your thing, you'll love it!

We had a private brunch event in the outer harbor room and would definitely do it again! The staff was good about coordinating and the space was beautiful and overlooking the water. The food was amazing! Everyone was raving about the food. The drinks were also amazing. They even were great with allergies. I would definitely recommend going here for a meal (brunch or dinner) or booking at private event with them!
My two adult daughters and I enjoyed a wonderful evening in the seaport. Gabriel, our server, was so friendly and knowledgeable. We shared the cheese fondue, which was delicious! And ended with the hot chocolate bar. So fun! We will definitely be back in the summer to enjoy the waterfront even more.

Went to dinner on a Monday night with a party of four. The menu is designed beautifully with so many delicious offerings. From the drinks to the cheese board to the ending of four perfect desserts, all were amazing. Our service was spot on with drinks being topped off and dishes cleared quickly and quietly. Our table and view were amazing. I would recommend Woods Hill Pier 4 to anyone with a need for good food and great service.

Came in for a work sponsored fellows dinner. The food we ordered was basically half the menu as it was served family style so there was plenty of everything to go around. The seafood tower was a big hit, as were the lobster turnovers. The flank steak, sunflower risotto, and all of the sides we got were also tasty but the winner was the roasted chicken. It had to have been prepared via sous vide because it was perfect. Would go back for that by itself, never mind the rest of the meal. Finished it all off with a cappuccino and a Benoit which was fantastic. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is nautilus next door is a hair better (5 stars all day). Rock solid restaurant. Would definitely come back.

Came here for a New Year’s Eve surprise party, so it was a special occasion and not a dinner experience. That said, the food and drinks were top notch! The view was spectacular! The service really couldn’t have been better. I highly recommend this place! And I will be returning for dinner soon.
