“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent, the service friendly. What I couldn't get past was the table for two we were seated at. The tables behind the bar , to the left as you enter the restaurant are up against marble, the floor is wood and there is a slight draft from the front door. The overall impression is that the tables there were an afterthought. Everything is black and white and it lacks any warmth or ambience. I would go back again and try the other section if there are two tops over there - it looked more convivial and a bit cozier. The area we were in felt like a nice place to have a coffee, but not really up to snuff for a nice dinner out .“

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!“

“My wife and I have enjoyed the Restaurant scene in Boston privately and professionally for over thirty years. Right now Aqua Pazza is my absolute favorite spot in the city! Aqua Pazza is kicking on my all three important points. Food, service and ambiance. Simply, I love the place!!!“

“The food was spectacular. From the appetizers to the main dishes. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars as the service was not great. The server was good but not attentive as the place became busy. The check was dropped and I needed to remind that we had wine left in our bottle.“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.“

“Had a business dinner at Little Whale and it was excellent from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—upscale yet relaxed, making it ideal for conversation. We ordered the clams & linguine, classic fish and chips, clam chowder, and steak frites—each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The seafood tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the steak was cooked just right. Service was attentive and professional without feeling rushed, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommend Little Whale for both business and social meals—wonderful food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming New England charm.“

“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.“

“we had a wonderful experience all around on a busy Sunday. The manager, Russ, greeted us with a warm smile, setting the tone for a great evening. we sat outside and Jorge F, took great care of us. He was prompt but we never felt rushed. the food was excellent, the Lobster cones are a great new item. we also had the classic mussels. The grilled salmon was delicious. Russ was leading his team through a busy shift but was able to make time to ensure everything was just right. The best in the Seaport.“

“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“

“EXCELLENT service and fresh food!“

“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!“

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

“I went there for a late lunch today. The stuffed clam dinner came with a large portion of fries, a tasting of coleslaw, cocktail sauce and a roll. To be honest, 1 stuffed clam and a few fries was MORE than filling! I took the rest home for dinner - it was delicious! It was relatively quiet when I was there, and it was hard to find waitstaff when I needed something she forgot (they were all congregated by the “seat yourself / cash only” sign). I would definitely go again and get the side order of stuffed clams next time.“

“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.“

“Ordered the Xiangs Sweet Spicy Crispy Chicken W Peanuts and Chicken Fried Rice. Both were wonderful and some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve ever had. Tons of flavor, the chicken fried rice had a distinct grilled taste which was different but really good“

“delicious clam plates and fast service, nice people and yes their roast beef is out of this world!!“

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

“This place always passes the vibe check and I always feel welcome. The food is well prepared and the presentation is always clean.“

“The food and ambiance was delightful. The gin basil smash was one of the best cocktails I have ever had. The beat salad and tuna tartare were both excellent, as well as the spaghetti vongole (one of my favorite meals). Overall a great night, pricey, knew that going in, but worth it.“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Food was awesome and service was excellent too“

“thy are just so good sea food“

“Nobody comes close. Best Lobstah Mac n cheese in town. I’ve tried others and I keep coming back every time I’m in Boston.“

“Dear Turner Seafood Team, We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by your team. Our employees Christmas bonus of local fish was well received and greatly appreciated. The hand-delivered, well-packaged fish showcased the professionalism and customer support we were looking for. Jeff's assistance during this busy season was invaluable, and we look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future. We highly recommend Turner Seafood, especially for large orders. Thank you once again. Best regards, Team Insideout Health and Wellness“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“So we wanted some fresh oysters and we got more than we bargained for.. We sat at a very roomy contemporary bar and received the best service one could ask for on a Sunday .. GO SEE Denise !! Recommendations were on point to what we were looking for .. Denise was friendly hospitable great knowledge of her drinks and food and always served with a smile .. Her sidekick John who delivered the food was always smiling and friendly.. You have to go here to see Denise . She will make your day ..“

“We were at JP Licks a few weeks ago and saw Bluefin across the street. It was new to us, and I checked out the menu on the website. My husband has A Thing for salmon BLT and frankly I do too, so when we saw that and salmon burgers listed we knew we'd want to check it out.

Yesterday we had our chance to go in for a late lunch/early dinner around 3 pm. We were the only people dining in, but other folks stopped on to get fresh oysters (and mussels?) to go. The atmosphere is pleasant; it's a small space, but they've made it feel airy and open.

The person at the counter was friendly and the service was great. I didn't order a drink with my sandwich and when I went back to him to buy a can of soda or something, he asked if we'd like glasses of ice water. (Not providing it by default makes sense to me, since some people don't want it and it's just wasteful then!)

I got the salmon BLT and my husband decided to try the burger. They came with a simple side salad of greens with a mild dressing, maybe just oil and salt? The sandwiches were delicious. The BLT was probably the better of the two but that's only because smoked salmon is so good. Whatever sort of bread they use on the BLT makes exceptional toast too.

The prices were comparable to similar fare in the area and the portions were good.

I didn't get any photos of the space or our food this time, but we plan to go back and will try to remember. I've seen a number of little places come and go in that location, but I hope Bluefin will be there to stay.“
