My hubby had a roast chicken sandwich with fries and a Fresh Lobster Ale as well and he loved it. We had a recommendation from our tour guide and a taxi concierge... so we knew it had to be good when the locals say to go there. I forgot to show our waiter the photo I took of him, so I hope he sees it here.. Thank you 10/10 gor food and service.“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“

“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“cool atmosphere, food a dream. my lobster roll with honey/chilly butter delicios.“

“Fantastic food and service and a unique atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“my order arrived promptly and well packed. I really LOVE that the fisherman's name is on the package as well as the name of their vessel. There was also a picture of the local fisherman thanking everyone for their business. The fish was packed nicely and I enjoyed the monkfish that I prepared. Nicely done!!!!I will order again!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“This spot offers a truly unique and delicious food concept, with everything made fresh and packed with flavor. We’ve already been twice, despite living over 30 minutes away! The food is undeniably top-tier—worthy of a high-end dining experience—yet it’s served in a casual diner setting, which creates a bit of a contrast. The space is bright but lacks an atmosphere that matches the excitement of the cuisine. Additionally, they don’t have a liquor license, so no sake pairings, which feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, the food is a solid 10, while the rest is a 7 or 8—not because anything is wrong, but simply because it doesn’t quite align with the quality of the dishes. Definitely worth the trip for the food alone!“

“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.“

“Kudos to Chris our awesome waiter yesterday. He was very helpful with describing their menu as I have an unusual food allergy. He confirmed with the Chef my concerns and I had a delicious meal. The petite lobster roll was the best ever! Highly recommend this restaurant and hopefully your waiter is Chris.“

“fun, casual atmosphere on the water good food...the lobster bisque was outstanding good service I would have preferred my wine in a glass and not plastic“

“You won’t find a more delicious lobster roll anywhere!!!“

“This is one of my very favorite places to eat. Not only is the food amazing (I love the crab cakes and tune tartare) but the views cannot be beat! The service is always amazing as well. This is a go to spot whenever I have people visiting from out of town. Plus the water taxi to the other restaurants is such a bonus!“

“I was in town this past week for a business conference. Another attendee asked the bartender at our hotel where the best seafood was; and she recommended Belle Isle, stating, "Best Lobster Rolls in the city." So we hopped in an Uber and made our way to Belle Isle. Upon arrival we saw that the restaurant was situated right on the water, with an accessible doc, which hosted, what appeared to be, a functional fishing boat and lobster traps.

The hostess encouraged us to sit where ever we would like. After a quick huddle we sat down at the bar and were immediately greeted by Melissa; who was cheerful, and poured a perfectly cold draft beer. She recommended the Lobster Pie as it was her favorite, but our stomachs were set on the Lobster Rolls as per our hotel bartenders glowing review.

We were not disappointed! The lobster roll was almost too much to handle. The bread that hosted the succulent chunks of claw and tail meat was buttered and toasted to perfection; but hardly the texas bookshelf you'd expect it to be upon seeing how much lobster was piled on top.

We met two locals, Henry and Paula, who also recommended the Lobster Pie, as well as the Clam Chowder. And both of us having never had New England Clam Chowder out of anything other than a soup can, jumped at the opportunity to taste the real thing. Another delicious dish! Best Clam Chowder I've ever had, hands down.

I came back for a second visit, risking missing my flight home to try the Lobster Pie. It was worth every little bit of stress I gained watching my Uber take 5 minutes longer to pick me up than the app predicted. (I made my flight)

If you're looking for a family friendly, yet fun and welcoming environment with seafood that will blow your mind. This is the place to go!“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“

“Terrific seafood!! Delicious“

“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!“

“I was absolutely floored by this restaurant. I deeply regret never having tried it in the past 6 years despite passing by it many times and seeing it packed! We had to wait around 13 minutes after joining the waitlist around 6pm on a Saturday. Ordering is very easy to do through a QR code, and they are very efficient at getting the food out and turning tables around.

We got two mains, one appetizer, and 2 rice for 3 people, and that was plenty (came out to $60 before tip). I liked every single dish including the rice.

The dish that impressed me the most was the fish fillet with pickled vegetables ($25.95). The fish was plentiful and super tender, with great flavor from the broth and pickled vegetables, but there were also glass noodles and 3 different kinds of mushrooms, which I wasn't expecting. This is a 10/10 dish, and I would absolutely get it again.

The house special stir fried tender beef ($20.95) was also very delicious! The beef was tender and flavorful, and we liked the bell peppers and cilantro. It was more of a home style dish than the grand fish fillet, but I'm glad we got to try it.

We also got the black fungus salad ($6.95) which was a delightful way to start the meal. The sauce has soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and lots of garlic. The rice was also delicious!

Hunan Cuisine wasn't on my radar until today, but now it would probably be my top pick for dinner in Chinatown. I'll definitely be back!“

“We were reggulars here when we lived in the area“

“The Fish & Chips were excellent.“

“terrific atmosphere, superb and flexible service. we were a party of 7 a s they accommodated us perfectly. Great pizza and full bar.“

“The lobster roll at Little Whale is easily one of the best in the city. It has heaps of lobster but it’s cut up small so it’s easy to eat. Lobster aside, the French fries here are absolutely amazing. They taste like McDonald’s used to in the 80s. If you come at off hours walk ins are easy but if you are coming at prime time make a reservation.“

“Just had a clam strip plate from Waves and cannot praise the staff, food and atmosphere enough Thank you, we’ll work the visit“

“This was our first time here , ( we have been to other places like this ) but I have to say this location in Cambridge mass , not only was it super clean , the staff was amazing but to top it off Raul the General Manager was so kind , welcoming and we chatted for a while ! My Husband and I are both managers at restaurants so we have pretty high standards over all and this place was amazing ! We will be back soon!
