to sum up my experience at fanueil hall

by michaelwasher

Service was moderately pleasant, as is everyone else at Fanueil Hall who wants your money. I thought the food was overpriced for what it was, and by no means a good measure the amazing seafood you can get in Boston. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning feeling not well at all that I really thought the food was overpriced. It could have been the apple I bought at Haymarket, but most likely it was the "fresh" flounder filet.

• Pros: outdoor seating
• Cons: very dirty restaurant, part of the ambiance but somehow it is not appetizing

Dirty and Disgusting

by jwellan1

I started my meal with the clam chowder, which was just plain not good. There was very little flavor to it at all, besides potatoes. I sent it back after three bites. Next I got a half bucket of mussels. It was obvious the mussels had not been cleaned. They were dirty. The beards were not cleaned off. Six of my mussels were dead and unopened.

I tried some of my friends' food, and all of it was bland, poorly made, and not something I would ever want to eat again.

The final straw was when one of the people in my party went to the bathroom. She came back and would not touch the rest of her food because of how disgusting the bathrooms were. There was urine all over the floor, among other things. The bathroom is right next to the kitchen.

The service was fine. The waitress got a little short with me when I sent back the clam chowder. Other than that, she seemed competent enough.

Ultimately, I think this place should be shut down. It doesn't deserve to call itself a seafood restaurant in Boston.

• Pros: Service was quick
• Cons: Disgusting food, dirty, the clam chowder was the worst I've ever had.

Very Good Spot

by gmusan

The food is good, we had a fish sandwich and a crabcake sandwich. The prices are a little high, but that is because it is in Fanieul Hall. The bartender was very personable and friendly. Definately a good luch spot.

• Pros: Location
