OUR TAKE

Visiting Boston for an NBA game? Don't miss Atlantic Fish Company. The service was top-tier and the food is so good we'd fly back just to eat here again.

The Bottom Line

The Verdict

We stumbled upon Atlantic Fish Company just before the dinner rush and snagged a table, but we'd definitely recommend making a reservation, especially for later dining.

Our server, Karina, was an absolute gem! Attentive, friendly, and genuinely personable, she really elevated our experience.

And the food? Amazing! Seriously, we'd travel back to Boston just to savor those flavors again. The branzino was a highlight, and we loved that it came with two sides included.

A few minor observations: the tables for two are a bit cozy (read: small), and the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, which poses an accessibility issue.

But those are minor quibbles in an otherwise fantastic experience. Hot towels at the end of the meal were a lovely touch! Overall, Atlantic Fish Company is a must-try for seafood lovers in the Boston area. Highly recommend!

What We Loved

  • We came in without a reservation right before 5pm & were seated promptly. In the future, we would make a reservation, especially after 6pm and/or on the wekeend.
  • Karina, our waitress, was phenomenal. Genuine, personable & always anticipating our needs.
  • Food is amazing. Would make a trip out to Boston just to eat here again.
  • Bathroom is clean & there are plenty of stalls.
  • Branzino entree came with two sides, rather than a $3 - $5 charge per.
  • Hot hand towels were provided at the end of the meal.

What We Didn't Like

  • The bathroom is located down a set of stairs, an accessibility issue.
  • The 2-seater tables are a bit small & space can quickly be occupied with drinks, appetizers & cutlery.
