“We are doing a world cruise on the Coral Princess and went to Yankee Lobster for lunch. It was absolutely delicious, heaps of lobster in the roll and fries too. 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.“

“This place was a huge surprise and what honestly made our experience was Mario, our server! He was funny, attentive and helpful with the menu. It’s rare to find servers like Mario in the Boston eating scene and he made the experience what it was.

The lamb chops were my favorite, they were cooked perfectly medium rare, the spanakopita was top notch. All the food came piping hot which of course is always a plus.

There were a lot of great appetizer options and I wish I tried more!
Will definitely recommend to others!“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“The design of the dining room is really beautiful. Light with high ceilings very clean lines. Great acoustics. From the moment I entered, the hostesses could not have been nicer. Friendly and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. Spectacular flavors, beautiful presentation, fresh and filling. My only issue was with my waiter. The support staff were fantastic, but after taking my order, I only saw my waiter once before asking for the bill. It seemed like he was overwhelmed and didn't have time or interest in checking on how I was enjoying my meal. But everyone else was great. Friendly and helpful. You must not miss a dinner at OSTRA. It's a wonderful 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.“

“The atmosphere is like nothing I've ever experienced at a restaurant of this class. The decor is so cool & unique. Our waitress Chantelle was perfection. She rolled with my boyfriend's quips & even had some hilarious responses! The food was incredible! The scallops were the best I've ever had, and I'm from Boston & Quincy Ma where we have some amazing ones! The beef garlic pasta was unbelievable. The wings were amazing. They make amazing cocktails. I had a REAL margarita! Great pour! Hard to find a place without a mix... I really want to go back already! the prices are amazing!!!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“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!“

“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.“

“Go for a special occasion (anniversary) annually and have a fantastic experience each year. Greeted kindly by hostess, heart shaped confetti on table, anniversary card on table, lovely waiter, and amazing food. Look forward to it every year.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Perched with killer views, this spot dishes out some seriously tasty grub. The clam chowder was a creamy dream, and the fish and chips? Crispy perfection. Portions are massive—come hungry! The kids’ menu is a beast, packed with options for picky eaters.
But, it’s not all smooth sailing. Dropped my rating from 5 to 4 stars because they tried to sneak in charges for kids’ menu sides that are supposed to be included. They claimed they’d fix it, but one charge still slipped through. Also, my beer arrived with some mystery substance smeared on the rim of the glass—yuck. They swapped it out quick, but still. Solid spot, just check your bill and your glass!“

“thy are just so good sea food“

“It is an excellent spot, well situated for views of the ocean and the airport, which is probably more appealing to any tourist but nevertheless it is a gem. The food is very good as well as is the service. However it is very expensive, and it is cash only. Those two don't add up: if it's a place where you're going to be spending over $100 it should not be cash only. But if you're prepared for spending a little extra and make sure to bring cash (or else have to get up and pay $3 at the ATM) then you are essentially guaranteed an excellent dining eperience.“

“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!“

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

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.“

“The cajun fries (medium spicy) were amazing. Shrimp and lobster were fresh and tasty too. Do note that they don’t come with any sides so you gotta order your corn on the cob and potatoes as extras (which were also tasty after being marinated in the Cajun sauce).

The staffs were all nice and attentive. It would be better if the soda wasn’t flat. Would also be better if a bucket could be offered at the table for the shells, so that the sauce doesn’t float everywhere.“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“

“Terrific seafood!! Delicious“

“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!“

“Great seafood tower - creative crab abd dressed lobster. Crab pasta excellent. Best were the Isanbd Creek oysters and the discount with a purchased beverage - no brainer! We downed 18. A bit dark in the downstairs - wanted to sit upstairs but it was not open. But solid service and nice atmosphere - the star was definitely the fresh seafood. A bit pricey, but again - oysters on discount worth it!“

“its a pretty good place, I really had a nice time“

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

“Best baked stuffed lobster anywhere!“

“Love Tony's delicious seafood, beautiful view, friendly & happy.“

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

“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.“

“The food was delicious. We got a blood orange sangria pitcher and about 2 plates per person (note- we shared them all) so 6-7 plates total, and the service was wonderful. It was my birthday and they were sweet to help celebrate. Would absolutely recommend!“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“There fish is so good my Dad lives in East Boston so we love getting there fish so delicious 😋“
