Editorial Review for Turner Fisheries Restaurant & Bar – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Thanks to an extensive $3 million renovation, Turner Fisheries has an environment worthy of the aged scotch and $30 dishes favored by the upstairs Copley Westin's guests. Many diners come straight from the nearby Hynes Convention Center (or their beds) to slink into designer banquettes, some of which have views of Copley Square. When the Dow's had a particularly good day, broker types stop by the gorgeous lounge to down designer martinis or selections from the pricey, varied wine list.
The Food
Despite all the glitz, Turner's focus remains on super-fresh seafood, most of which arrives daily from all corners of the globe. If available, try the monkfish, served osso buco-style--on the bone and in a smoky broth. Other can't-miss items include award-winning clam chowder and flights of rare oysters. Liquor-spiked Jell-O shots and gourmet s'mores are just two of the whimsical, delectable desserts available.

This resturant was eclectic and trendy. Its great for those looking for seafood with a different flare. I had a delicious seafood risoto, and the clam chowder was great. The restaurant was empty, but business picks up on the weekends. I would recommend, but beware, the prices are a bit on the higher side.
Pros: convience to Copley mall

This is a restaurant attached to a hotel, if you are Boston native under 35 years of age and enjoy hip cutting edge places this place is not it. It is about the calibur of Legal SeaFoods and slightly more expensive. So if you are looking for a lunch with your parents or a nice meal after shopping at the Copley then this place is ok, but if you are looking for a nice night out, seek something else.
Pros: Easy access, good for familes
Cons: Ugly decor, full of fat people, not romantic
