Is this a tourist trap type place? Where do local people go for a decent dinner?
Food was meh... Tuna carpaccio - extremely salty, was hard to eat. Oysters - got MA ones, they were good. Halibut - decent. Tiramisu - I would skip.
Service was meh also. Tables inside are way close together. Server looking after the table next to ours had her bottom in my face the whole time. It was just not good.. overall staff is friendly and responsive. I wish I tipped better but was pretty disappointed with the food and overall experience.
Atmosphere is decent. Place is nicely styled.

Best lobster roll ever.

Menu is great, restaurant has a ton of potential but execution is mid. Saw this spot online and it’s def great for instagram but vibes were off. The table we had was in a pretty busy but small dining room, felt very much like a tourist trap. At one point a server a came up to our table reached across our food without saying anything and took a drink menu to give to the nearby table. There were a few other examples of rushed or subpar service that occurred throughout. All were minor and fine if I was eating in a diner but not at these prices. The caviar martini had a ton of caviar but very little alcohol somehow. The linguini vongole is cream based dish, like a lot of cream and that’s just not how you make linguine vongole. We ordered two Jonah crab claws and we got basically 1.5 claws because one was a whole claw and the other was cut in half. Such a shame! The tin fish menu and wine list was cool, but service and preparation of food really falls flat.

Called over 12 times and went directly to voicemail. Management no longer cares about customers—it’s getting plenty of profits from being a tourist trap. A must try despite being Ridiculously and Unjustifiably pricey.

Special thanks to Chris, team and ambiance. Insane tinned fish collection !

A group of eight of us discovered this gem while enjoying some downtown adventures during our bachelorette weekend getaway. Despite our large party, the staff accommodated us promptly and with ease. The atmosphere was chic, cozy, and perfect for a celebratory day. Service was attentive, and the manager even stopped by our table to offer friendly conversation and thoughtful recommendations. The food and cocktails were fantastic—definitely on the higher end price-wise, but well worth it. I had the Little Gem Salad, and it was absolutely delicious.

I had the Fried Lobster and Waffles which was amazing! The service was good, but a bit to eager - maybe thats very American but felt a bit too much. Very quick and efficient. Nice atmosphere.
The service is outstanding and the cocktails are delicious. The food is incredibly over priced. The clams and linguine has CANNED clams and they serve muscles with fries, NO bread. Our bill was $250 days r muscles, fish and chips, linguine with clams and a shared salad. We had 2 glasses of wine and 2 cocktails. A bit overpriced.

The waiter would not split the bill based on what we ordered. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and we ordered 5 things total. 3 items on one bill and 2 items on the other. This seems like a rather simple thing to do and in fact it was quite simple for other restaurants near to this one. The waiter claimed he "couldn't do that". I tried to call this restaurant after the fact to see if this was true and no one picked up. So, this is why I'm writing a review. Also, I forewarned the waiter that I would like my own bill for my wife and I PRIOR to ordering.

I recently visited this restaurant and was truly impressed by the ambiance and service—everything had a lovely vibe, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. It really set a nice tone for our meal!
However, when it came to the food, I felt there were a few areas that could use some improvement. We started with the fried calamari, and while it was crispy, it was a bit on the salty side for my taste. The fries that came with the burger were also quite salty, which made it hard to enjoy them fully.
As for the **Saltie Girl burger**, we ordered it medium rare, but it came out overcooked. That was a bit disappointing, as I was looking forward to that juicy, tender bite.
Despite these small issues with the food, our overall experience was still positive. The ambiance and service really made up for it, and I’d consider coming back to give it another shot.

Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon, but we made reservations. Beers on tap were great, and the lobster rolls were phenomenal. I also enjoyed the oyster selection. Great spot to hit in Boston if you want something a little more upscale.
Parking: Very difficult to find street parking. Your best bet is to SpotHero or find a garage.

Great upscale seafood place. Excessive raw bar menu, tinned fish dishes and a stellar warm lobster roll. Service is excellent too. Expensive but worth it.
