Citysearch
The Scene – In a city known for its seafood, the Sail Loft deserves special mention, having satisfied its loyal clientele with steamed lobsters and broiled scrod for over 20 years. A low-key bar sits between nautical-themed dining areas. Friendly waitresses dispose of lobster carcasses with a smile. – – The Food – Basic seafood--prepared broiled, fried or steamed--comes in healthy portions that won't break the bank.

Good and honest food.
by Andre Vasconcellos at Citysearch
I went there on my first day in the city, during the Labor Day. The streets were full of people enjoying a great sunny day. All the restaurants were crowded so I went wandering until I came across Boston Sail Loft, a very cozy and friendly restaurant. The wooden walls and the Boston waterfront view captured my attention so I entered.
I asked for a deep-fried shrimp, lobster with mussels and some beers. The generous portion of shrimp were perfectly seasoned. The lobster was very fresh and came to the table producing a delicious sea aroma.
Nice and professional service. Honest price.
- Pros: Service, freshness of sea food.

Fun place to hang out for drinks with friends. Good clam chowder
by PK2008 at Citysearch
Their clam chowder is right up there with Legal Seafoods in my opinion. Big chunks of potato. Drinks are cheap there and the nachos are good as well. Big enough to feed 4 people.
Registers are old school. Nice to see a restaurant stick to its old roots.

Bouncer's ruined it!
by eifsbo at Citysearch
The bar itself is cool, but the bouncers are jerks. I liked the bar a lot until the bouncers came and treated us awful, I would never go there again, I've never been treated like that anywhere.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: The staff
The Details on Boston Sail Loft
Where to Sit:
Diners with an aversion to noise should request a seat in the back of the restaurant for a quieter experience--especially on weekends, when bar crowds become quite spirited.

Another reason to request a seat in the back: This section offers the best view of Commercial Wharf.
Know Before You Go:
Make sure to grab your drinks at the bar before heading out to the tiny outdoor deck: It's not served by the waitstaff.
