What People Are Saying About No Name Restaurant

In Short – Befitting its name, this Seaport District eatery offers little by way of decor and ambiance, with only simple harbor views distracting diners from their lobsters and chowder. On any given day, hundreds of tourists and a smattering of local workers fill the No Name's sprawling dining room to be served by indifferent, yet competent, servers. The seafood, while fresh, is prepared minimally, with most items offered broiled, baked or fried. Fish like scrod and scallops, garnished simply with lemon and served with tartar sauce, scream for more flavor, but with prices this low it's…

Please don't waste your time or money

This place was recommended by a local, and I can't figure out why. What has changed since it used to be 'amazing'? It is now dull, bland, overpriced food. The 'fried scrod' was gross- VERY fishy, and just plain generic. The coleslaw was bland and boring. The tarter sauce was a very strange green color, and not appealing at all. We left hungry, and not feeling well. Money poorly spent, that is for sure. The waiter, while attentive in the beginning totally forgot us and never checked back. He was sitting while we were eating, as were about 5-7 other wait staff. We didn't know his name, and couldn't get his attention so we started calling every male name we could think of to get his attention. After a while another waitress picked up on what we were doing and announced his name. He then brought us a very overpiced bill, and we left.
Unappealing, bland, not very fresh food. Not worth the drive, or the money. We could have done better at a fast food fish restaurant.
- Pros: Interesting atmosphere
- Cons: Everything else

Surprised at the negative reviews
by CSMobileUser4
I have always loved the chowder, salmon and scallops at this place. I special order everything from wine to the combination plates. I hope the owner is still their and Emerald Lagasee is a big fan as he was there when I last visited. Perhaps the waitstaff needs a swift kick and the owner needs to read some of the prior reviews

You're Nuts.

Some friends and I went there for lunch and it was great. The staff was friendly, the food was perfectly done and there was plently of it. I didn't have any issues that some of these other posts have mentioned. In fact, just the opposite.
This is not a fancy place - It's on Boston's fishing pier. I say it is a diamond in the rough.
- Pros: Great fresh seafood
