The Scene – A favorite of locals and conventioneers (the Hynes is located down the street), this popular eatery serves as one of the Back Bay's most dependable spots for seafood. Warm woodwork and colorful murals provide the gaping interior with a calming, nautical feel. In the summer months, patrons abandon the dining room's welcoming booths for the sidewalk patio. Personable waiters recite the daily specials with great detail. – – The Food – Seafood lovers of all stripes enjoy a far-reaching menu--the daily "Fresh List" features over a dozen varieties, including…

awful food
by ploubere at Citysearch
Appetizers were unexceptional. Glass of $12 wine was sour. But the $32 halibut entree tasted like reconstituted fiberboard - dry, tough, crumbly and flavorless, nothing like what fresh fish tastes like. My wife's striped bass was seriously overcooked. We returned both; the second bass was edible but ordinary, but the second halibut was no different than the first. A spoiled dinner experience.
Our impression was that this is a tourist trap - we went based on the recommendation of hotel's concierge and the fact that it takes a couple hours to get a table.
- Pros: friendly waiter
- Cons: inedible, bad fish

AMAZING SEAFOOD!!!
by bobbyv2 at Citysearch
Absolutely wonderful melt-in-your-mouth fish.
Great attentive service, the waiter was constantly
refilling our water glasses for instance. My only
complaint is that the strawberry shortcake was
lousy. But it's the best fish I've ever had, at a
very reasonable price.
- Pros: Fantastic seafood and service
- Cons: Strawberry shortcake

The Details on Atlantic Fish
Save Money:
If there's a convention down the street, call to see if there's a wait; even Monday nights can get crowded.
Know Before You Go:
The restaurant's acclaimed clam chowder is a must for any out-of-towner. Be warned: It's served in a bread bowl, making a filling meal in itself.
Parking:
The restaurant offers valet parking, but you have to leave your car two doors down at its sister restaurant, Abe & Louie's.
