  • "My wife and I had heard about the great fresh sea food at PF. Decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Great fresh fish dishes and had some delicious oysters to start the meal. We will be back"

  • "This was our first time there and I have to say we were truly impressed. Best seafood dinner we've had in years. It's a little pricey for a BYO but it was well worth it. Lobster bisque was out of this world and my simple grilled swordfish was just amazing. My husband's red snapper was delish and the risotto that came with it was the best I ever had. We're planning to go back SOON!"

  • "Sparkling fresh fish means sticking to the simpler preparation is usually the best option. Some of the more elaborate combinations do not enhance the quality of the ingredients. But this is the place to go if you want really great seafood. A little pricey considering it's a storefront, but BYO keeps the bill reasonable. Very friendly and professional service."

  • "Brought fish-loving friends here and they can't believe they hadn't been before! We'll all be back. The oysters were perfect and the grilled fish combo, great as always!"

  • "Midweek dinner. Service was polite and/but(?) hands off. The raw oysters were super-fresh but a few bits of shell. Not a huge deal, but mentioning it for ppl who are super picky about this sort of thing. The New England clam chowder was a bit thin but incredibly tasty. For entrees, we had the seafood paella, cioppino, and fra diavolo (mild). Each entree was giant (and was divided into 3 meals - I'm still eating leftovers). There were slight differences in what seafood came with each, all had squid, mussels, and scallops. Cioppino had salmon, cod/bass?, and mushrooms. Paella had clams. Fra diavolo had lobster tail. The only complaint was that the mussels (on all 3) were quite gritty. They ended up in our trash/shell bowls. Dessert was great!"

  • "Everyone in our group was happy with the quality of the seafood: very fresh, tasty, well prepared. The desserts were also good, with the yogurt deserving of a special rave. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, but generally slow. Our group was OK with that. We sipped our wine and talked. However, at one point we needed more water and another bottle of wine opened, and the waitress was nowhere to be found for 10 minutes. I noticed that other tables had trouble getting the attention of the staff when trying to order and/or pay the bill."

Moreover, the seafood dishes we ordered were delicious. The prices are reasonable, & the service was prompt. We really enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning to this neighborhood gem."

Fresh seafood with just a little different twist to the flavors. Can't ask for better. Very friendly and attentive wait staff. A must visit place if you like seafood."

  • "Went on a week night where usually go on a weekend. Food was excellent as usual but, upstairs dining room was closed and downstairs is more a spartan space. Service was a little slow but might have been due to the appetizers ordered. My flounder was ordered milanese but was just deep fried. Although still very tasty. Restaurant is expensive."

  • "We have eaten at PF Market several times and have always had a delicious meal with attentive and very friendly service. It has a casual atmosphere with upscale food. Each time we have been there we say that was the best, and somehow the next time we go it is even better. Don't miss this place if you like seafood. It is not inexpensive, but it is very, very good."

  • "We tried this local fish market with another couple this weekend. Room has no ambience - you are definitely coming for the fish. And it was just okay - pricey at that."

  • "Wonderful fish restaurant that is an actual fish market during the day. Consistently well prepared meals. BYOB. Wait staff always friendly and helpful."
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • ". Our reservation was for 8:00 pm on Saturday. We were not seated until 8:30. While waiting in the miniscule foyer we had to frequently shuffle to allow the wait staff carrying huge trays of food access to the flight of stairs leading to the upstairs dining room. Uncomfortable for us, but certainly a terrible situation for the staff. Something about the waiting area should be changed especially if reservations are not honored. Finally seated we waited another 30 minutes for our appetizers. White zuppa de clams were tough. The crab and lobster cakes were very good. Bronzino and a stuffed lobster were served on plates with not even a parsley leaf for garnish, A little vegetable or rice would be nice. Otherwise food was good."

  • "I've eaten at this restaurant numerous times. This is a fish and seafood market that also has an excellent restaurant. There is an extensive menu focusing on the fish and seafood. All of the fish is treated with respect with the dishes letting the taste of the fish come through. Service is always good. Reservations on the weekends are recommended. You will still wait for a bit for your table. BYOB."

  • "Arugula salad was delicious, scallops over spinach were sweet and tender, with a wonderful tomato-based sauce. Portions were large -- my husband had a large lunch from his leftovers next day. Be sure to request a table upstairs for dinner...the vibe downstairs is much more "bustling seafood market" than fine dining restaurant."

  • "We had PEI mussells as an appetizer. They were good, but nothing special. (We wouldn't order them next time.) After that, everything was excellent. My favorite was the Boston Cod. And dessert was also excellent. We'll be back."
    Dined on 9/1/2013
  • "I have been to PF Market a few times and I am never disappointed! The fish is always fresh and the menu has some very interesting recipe combinations that are out side of the box for a fish restaurant. Not just your ordinary lemon and white wine sauces. Try it ,you will be happy you did!"
    Dined on 9/1/2013
  • "This was our first time visiting your restaurant, got it from open table. We had a waitress named Nadia, I was impressed with her as she didn't hover over you but gave us excellent service at the same time. The food was very good. Had you salmon special with the crab and lobster filling. I also like the fact that your restaurant is byob. Hate to have a good meal and not the kind of wine I like or am charged for. Thank you for a great meal and good service."
    Dined on 8/24/2013
  • "This place is awesome. Everything is made with the freshest ingredients. Once you try their fried calamari, you will never eat pre-frozen again. The specials are out of this world. They will even prepare meat dishes to your liking if you don't eat seafood. A member of our party had chicken francaise and it was amazing. It is BYOB, which is very convenient and helps keep the price down on the bill. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, for any occasion."
    Dined on 8/17/2013
  • "I've wanted to try PF Market for a long time but after finally getting there, I was disappointed. I ordered a special with scallops prepared with fresh figs and apples in a balsamic reduction. What came out were scallops swimming in way too much sauce, and the figs were cut up in little bits and tasted like they were figs in a can with syrup. The crab cakes tasted good, but the crab meat was not lump crab meat. Just not at all what I expected."
    Dined on 8/11/2013
  • "We were a group of 6. The restaurant was full to capacity but our reservation was immediately honored. We were seated downstairs which is a little tight and pretty noisy. Our waitress was fantastic, answered all of our questions, made us feel welcome, didn't rush us and looked like she enjoyed her job. The specials menu was very extensive and the descriptions were impressive, unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. Everything seemed to lack basic seasoning "a little salt". The soft shell crab was tough. Probably getting out of season for this delicacy. The cod special was overpowered with bacon, however, the fish itself was perfectly cooked and fresh. The other dishes were good. We would go back and try again."

  • "Local fish market that serves great dishes. While the atmosphere is basic the restaurant is lively and very busy. The upstairs more formal dining room is open only on weekends. The mussels were sweet and delicious. Plenty to share. The arugula salad was fresh. We shared it with four which offered only a taste. Better to order for one or share with two. The fish dishes were outstanding. The red snapper was flavorful and fresh. There was a nice sauce with chickpeas and tomatoes. The grilled halibut also looked delicious. A great local BYOB."

  • "Fish was tasty and done properly, and portions were large. Sides were unimpressive. Main floor noise level was high and upstairs even more so. I would return because of the fish."
