Atlantic Fish Co. is almost a Boston tradition. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered San Francisco Cioppino as main and it was very fresh and extremely delicious served in a huge portion. This restaurant is a right selection if you are a sea food fan.

This was our third dinner at this restaurant....the first about 19 months ago. Their fish is cooked perfectly, the broccoli cooked tender crisp...I just can't enough about this place. The staff is so polite and friendly...we always feel welcome. Reservations may be necessary especially if it is a holiday weekend or special holiday. Mothers' Day weekend was booked solid! We...

Been travelling around East coast USA for a week now eating in some of the best restaurants. So far this is the best meal we've had and it cost half of most of the others. Plenty of variety on the menu and very competitively priced wine list. Close to faultless for the price.

Dined here based on recommendations from others and enjoyed our experience. The atmosphere is lively, business like. Not your romance kind of place. It reminds you of other top fish house restaraunts like Ocean Club in Scotsdale but with a more traditional decor. This establishments have been around for a long time so they know fish. For starters had the... More

As I quote my wife on the meal "Awesome and Great". We both had fish from the Atlantic Ocean (halibut and salmon) and the meal was light, tasty, and very good. Sat outside under the heaters and it was nice.

We were told by a nice bartender at Joes that the lobster and fish here was excellent. She understood we wanted to explore and was nice enough to advise (and you should get drinks at Joes on Newberry!). The food and service was exceptional, the bar crowd lots of fun.

We had reserved the private room for a post graduation luncheon last week. The food and service could not have been better. The lobster and crab louie were to die for and the crusted tuna was some of the best I've ever had. All of our guest were truly impressed.

Wow, what a fantastic find for us on our first ever trip to Boston. We both had the clam chowder which was wonderful. I had the lobster my wife had the sea bass. Both meals were superb. The whole place was very busy and yet the service was to a very high standard. Our waiter was knowledgable and helpful. We... More

We were in Boston for a few days and met with relatives at this highly rated restaurant for an anticipated mixture of great seafood. What we received, however, was okay. Not bad yet far from the mouth watering flavors found in many of the New England seafood eateries. The chowder and bisque were good, the lobster ravioli was very good... More

This restaurant was so great we had dinner here two nights in a row. The service was incredible, and seemed pretty busy even though we waiting until late to eat. The lobster roll was amazing, as well as the lobster bisque soup. After traveling into FL later in the week, the portions at other restaurants for the lobster in the... More
