The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and served up quickly, which was a nice surprise. Everything from the clam chowder to the lobster was absolutely delicious.

Our waitress, Ariana, made the experience even better with her friendly attitude and excellent customer service. She was attentive, yet not overbearing, and made us feel right at home. If you’re in the area and looking for great seafood in a relaxed setting, Summer Shack is definitely worth a visit!

“Amazing place, with outstanding food and exceptional service! From start to finish, the experience at Ostra was flawless. The staff was attentive, the ambiance elegant, and every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our anniversary so special—we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. We very highly recommend Ostra to anyone looking for a memorable meal in Boston!“

“It’s a mission of mine to try all the Eddie V’s in the US and when staying in Boston recently I came here. I stopped in on a Saturday night with coworkers and since we didn’t have reservations, we sat at the bar.

Service was decent and was friendly. Menu is the typical menu at Eddie V’s (same seafood options, beef, sides, etc). Drinks were very nicely made while we were at the bar.

We started with their calamari and it was great, as usual. Then two of us ordered their lamb chops and they were prepared perfectly! I opted for their stuffed shrimp, which I’ve had many times at other locations and it was nice. Their crab fried rice was on point, as usual.

Overall, we all enjoyed the visit and would recommend stopping in.“

“Great food and service! I went there for dinner with a friend, and I don't think there was more than 30 seconds between us ordering on our phones and the waitress coming over to confirm our order. Food was delicious and out very quick, would highly recommend!“

“Terrific seafood!! Delicious“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Always a treat to come here! The brick chicken, bolognese, and various rotating seafood options are favourites for sure. We've been coming here a long time, since the Townshend days, and it's one of the best vibes around. Cocktails are always fantastic too!“

“Some of the highest quality fish I've had in the Boston area outside of Uni and Oya. The only thing they need to fix is the pace (one person shouldn't get multiple rolls at once and the nori should always arrive crisp) and order (leanest to fattiest)“

“Had a wonderful lunch with family. Fantastic food, good service and the view is spectacular. Would highly recommend.“

“Was very delicious!! Definitely would go there again“

“Dine at OTH most Fridays since it reopened after renovating from 'Louis' and have yet to have an unsatisfactory experience. Service and Meals are more than great. Try it - you'll love it.“

“I’m a picky one when it comes to eating fish. This little shop right under the Fore River Bridge is the absolute best spot if you want fish so fresh it is obvious that it is the day’s catch! The batter is perfectly light, doesn’t separate from the fish and the result is simply the best fried fish I’ve EVER TASTED! Do yourself a favor and check them out!“

“Awesome menu. Fast, friendly service and delicious food.“

“Besides the great food they cook fresh, they do need to add a menu so we can order online and let others know how much of a choice they offer.......“

“Absolutely fine dining at fair market prices. The staff was brilliant, the food well prepared, and the atmosphere wonderful. There's not enough praise that I can heap on Atlantic Fish. We had the whole fish that came with sides topped with a fresh Guinness. Everything was expertly prepared. Dessert was through the roof. Great restaurant, attentive staff.“

“Staff were so kind! I got the lobster Mac n cheese and it was worth eating as soon as it came out, I would burn my tongue just to have another bite. The dining is fancy but comfortable, my food came out fairly quick. It was definitely the nicest restaurant I’ve ever been too, I was a bit anxious but that’s just me. I would recommend this place for dinner, if you want a nice night out then this is a place for you! My waitress’s name was Addy and she was very patient with my younger sibling, if you do see this Addy then I just wanted to say you have been one of my best waitress’s!“

“We had the pleasure of savoring a delightful dinner experience at Gaga (嘉嘉) Seafood Restaurant nestled within Boston's vibrant Chinatown. Our culinary choices led us to two exquisite dishes: the "Braised Clayton Mutton with Radish" and the Salt and Pepper Squid. The mutton dish, thoughtfully seasoned to perfection, struck an impeccable balance that pleased the palate without overwhelming it with saltiness. The radish, expertly prepared, offered a delightful crunchiness while exuding a pleasing infusion of flavors. The Salt and Pepper Squid, undoubtedly a highlight of the meal, showcased remarkable freshness and a meticulous level of cooking that maintained its tenderness and flavor profile. The squid arrived neither undercooked nor overdone, a testament to the chef's skill in the kitchen. Furthermore, the affordability of the menu pleasantly surprised us, as the prices were notably reasonable given the outstanding quality of the dishes. Adding to the positive experience was the restaurant staff, who were not only efficient but also notably courteous, enhancing the overall dining atmosphere. Should you find yourself in Boston Chinatown, Gaga Seafood Restaurant is undoubtedly a gem worth discovering, offering an amalgamation of exquisite flavors, reasonable pricing, and exceptional service.“

“We were told to check out Jenna’s. Fresh made quality food. We will be coming back very soon. The Thanksgiving, fresh turkey sandwich is unlikely to be topped anywhere. The toasted bread, the stuffing, the turkey, And I opted for waffle fries, well done, amazing. My wife loved the grilled chicken garden salad and the peanut butter ice cream sundae was spectacular. Jenna’s you guys are the real deal. Thank you for such a great job.“

“Visited ****** with a friend who has been going there for years. She grabbed the frozen shrimp and lobster. I grabbed the scallops wrapped in bacon and a few bags of the beautiful stuffed clams. It is fast-paced there so you've gotta be ready to move out of the way of employees with the boxes on dollies. But the guy who checked us out was sweet and hilarious and so accommodating. Will definitely go back there very soon. “

“It was my first true seafood adventure, and I definitely picked the right spot! Cozy, upscale, comfy, and friendly vibes abound!! I tried clam chowder for the first time, and the flavors were exceptional. Truly, so so good. My waitress, April, was fully invested in my seafood journey and gave me fresh oyster to try. My mind was blown. I have clearly been missing out. Next came the lobster arancini - I wanted a slow intro to lobster - and YUM!! Paired with a glass of crisp bubble, these dishes were more than I bargined for in the best way possible. I treated myself to the lemon tart with raspberry, and I died of tart happiness. 20/10 Would bring my humans here.“

“I can't say enough good things about this company. It's easy to see why they have been at it for as long as they have been. Excellent staff and service!!!, Curtis is incredible and his knowledge of their product is even more impressive. He gave us a full tour of their facilities and our team at Miznon were blown away at their operation!!!? Thanks again Curtis for an amazing experience!!! Looking forward to years of a thriving business relationship!!! And congrats on being on the map!!! ??“

“Our first time here and can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone is extremely welcoming! I’m assuming it was the owner that brought the kids an appetizer on the house with a big smile and high fives! HOW COOL! The flavor was amazing! Service was great thank you guys!!!!!!“

“I travel for work and often find the reactions weird when I say I’m a party of 1. The hostess here was so kind. They had a private event but she was able to seat me in the raw bar section and my dinner was excellent. The staff are very kind and don’t make you feel rushed at all. The food quality was top notch and the raw bar was excellent. The service and quality surpass the pricing. Do not miss the opportunity to try this place out.“
