Located on the Charlestown waterfront, Pier 6 Restaurant shines, especially in the spring and summer. Accessible via a boat (and has a free shuttle from East Boston Pier), its setting enhances the dining experience. With a lively crowd, Pier 6 offers refreshing drinks and delicious seafood and classic dishes that perfectly match its vibe. Definitely a great place to check out!

Clam chowder was amazing. My party also order lobster roll and lobster mac n cheese which was very good. Great views and great service!
Bunny G.
Food is wonderful. Lots of choices. Amazing It sits on the head of Boston Harbor. The views are epic. During the summer inside or out. Enjoy a day on the water

We came as a group of 5 to dine here and had the best experience! We absolutely loved this place, the service was incredible and the food was also amazing. We really haven’t had great service like this before! And our view was great! Was definitely a great find for our weekend Boston trip.

The food was ok. The chicken sandos didn't have much in it. Service was kind but slow. The view is the only reason anyone would come here.

We sat outside and had amazing view of the marina and ship traffic. The food was AMAZiNG. The staff was very helpful. The indoor seating is not accessible for ADA customers.

Fried calamari garnished with a few hot peppers, marinara and lemon. A home run! This has been the tastiest calamari I've had ever. The delicacy of the fish comes through with its nice light batter the right and the calamari melted in my mouth. Worth it to have on the table to be shared. Plenty of rings and tentacles. smoked salmon Benedict was really delicious with eggs delicately poached, the fresh salmon, the salad and the holiday and home fries make it a really delicious meal. my friend liked the avocado, toast and ordered scrambled eggs to go with it. I recommend this place. A limited menu, but mindfully prepared. Delicious. Server: Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. Our server was efficient, polite and made our meal more enjoyable. She went out of her way to make sure our food was cooked the way we had asked. The views from Pier 6 has a gorgeous view of the Boston skyline looking across the harbor. Sometimes places that have the view have food that is subpar. Pier 6 brings both of these elements to their business and I hope they continue to do this. I recommend Pier 6, worth trying.
Last week, my family and I revisited Pier 6, nestled at 1 8th St in Charlestown, MA?. Despite having been there nearly a year ago, this visit was dedicated to exploring their enticing fall menu.Our libation journey began with the “Paper Boat,” a delightful concoction of Maker’s Mark bourbon, aperol, and zesty lemon?. A must-try for bourbon enthusiasts, this cocktail set the tone for an evening of palate-pleasing experiences. The classic margarita featuring Ocho Blanco tequila, triple sec, and lime, along with the Piña Colada infused with Blue Chair coconut rum, added a tropical flair. Wrapping up the prelude was the timeless classic, the espresso martini? – a perfect prelude to a delightful meal.Venturing into appetizers, the Blackened Swordfish? Tacos? showcased a harmonious blend of flavors, accented by avocado lime crema and jicama slaw, earning a solid 8/10. The fried calamari?, adorned with sliced cherry peppers, earned a commendable 7/10 for its well-seasoned, zesty appeal. A visual and gastronomic delight, the tuna tartare with avocado?, mango , chili oil, and wontons stood out as a favorite, offering a delightful sharing experience.Transitioning to the main course, the grilled hanger steak with broccoli and watercress salad proved to be a satisfactory choice, meriting a 7/10. However, stealing the spotlight were the pan-seared scallops, sautéed in a vegetable succotash and complemented by a citrus carrot? purée – a truly decadent delight deserving of a 9/10.Equally impressive was the grilled swordfish, accompanied by Israeli couscous, mussels, cherry tomatoes, and a green olive chimichurri. The flavorful couscous and impeccably fresh swordfish earned this dish a solid 9/10. Concluding the entrees, the seafood fry diavolo ?, boasting linguine, spicy pomodoro sauce, mussels, and shrimp?, though not overly spicy, delivered a tasty experience with well-cooked mussels and shrimp, earning a respectable 7/10.Beyond the culinary delights, Pier 6 offers a breathtaking? view of Boston, coupled with an intimate ambiance. This gem in Charlestown deserves a visit for its excellent dishes and overall dining experience.Food: 8/10 Affordability: 7/10 Ambiance: 8/10

Many condo owners in Charlestown told me Pier 6 is their favorite restaurant . Our Server Shirley was lots of big smiles, and quick service which we needed to catch a ferry. David also was helping everywhere, from bus tables, to helping deliver our meals. Also lots of big smiles, and all wearing clean uniforms. The Steak lunch was enough for two to split. And so good. Thanks again, can t wait to return. Wahoooooo Pier 6 in Charlestown MA>

Food, service and ambiance the best in Charlestown MA. Our server Shirley was lots of big smiles, and David also was great. We ordered the steak and that was enough for two hungry people to split. Cool drinks and fast service so we could catch a nearby ferry. Best views in Boston. Thanks again, can t wait to return
