What People Are Saying About Atlantic Fish

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 local catches (hefty New Bedford sea scallops) and flown-in cuts (Hawaiian Mahi Mahi). After a starter of velvety crab bisque, try the Maine lobster pot pie or one of the daily catches (served every way, from baked with olive oil and lemon to Cajun pan-blackened). In keeping with the local theme, finish with a slice of sinful Boston Crème Pie.

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.

My wife and I went back to Boston to visit friends, etc. and made a reservation at the Atlantic Fish Co. for our anniversary. Everything was great: service, food, atmosphere... I told them it was our anniversary when I made the reservation, so after a wonderful meal they brought us a free decadent chocolate raspberry cake. We even called the manager (Todd McCullough) over to tell him about our experience. We highly recommend AFC for any special occasion.

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.
