    Absolutely best place to get seafood, large portions and great prices for the amount of food you get. Host was not welcoming at all and completely disregarded that people had made reservations, stated everyone needs to wait in line. It was extremely busy on a Friday night and way under staffed

    The seafood at Boston Fish Market never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The portions are very large to accommodate multiple guests from one platter or have leftovers if going with a small party.

    Seated promptly. Bread and water brought immediately to table. Waiter took order and food came. Water glasses were continually topped off by one of the workers (not waiter) which was very nice.

    Owner/ manager at the door very grumpy and unwelcoming as if he is doing us a big favor by letting us in. Food is good but very pricey considering the overall ambiance, noise, and feeling unwelcomed! A normal sea bass dinner for two people was $200, too pricey for a place that is not welcoming! Will never go again!

    Parking lot was far too small. Due to it being Valentine’s Day, it was overcrowded and service was extremely slow. Food was tasty and portions were large though.
