First-rate seafood, excellent service, very nice surroundings. If you want to treat someone to a delicious meal and a top-notch dining experience, put this place on your short list. My only regret is that I was so busy catching up with dear friends visiting from out of town, that I didn't know that the place was filling up around us, even on a Monday evening. We probably commandeered that table for long than we should've, as we shared stories from 40 years ago!

The food is always excellent. And the waitstaff is always very good as well. I've been to Atlantic Fish many times over the past 20 years and it is always good. A great place where I've dined with family and friends from all over the world. When they come to Boston they want to go to Atlantic Fish again and again. But this last time was exceptional due to our outstanding waitress Katrina. She was superb. Helping us with suggestions in a gentle friendly way and not overbearing. She was attentive and helped make our special celebration even more memorable.

We've been coming to Atlantic Fish Co. for special events (birthdays, guest in town, etc. ) for years and it never disappoints. Kristin our waitress, could not have been more attentive, fun and engaging. She, along with the delicious food, made my husbands birthday celebration all that more special. Cheers, Tom Wilhelm

Our experience two years ago was outstanding, so that was what we were hoping for this time. Though our experience last night was satisfactory, it was not up to our previous visit. However, the restaurant is still worth a visit.

Everything we had was fantastic! Our server (Randy?) was extraordinarily helpful with both menu options, wine recommendations, and things to do around Boston! The food was outstanding- everything from the yummy Boston clam chowder with the saltine oyster cracker puff pastry, to the Crab Oscar with plentiful lumps of crab meat. The herb crusted halibut and crab crusted haddock were both hearty, flavorful and satisfying. Even the French fries side was excellent. We did not have dessert as we had not an inch left in our belly! We wish we had room for more food! The only snag was with the hostess, who told us there was a long waitlist for tables outside on a beautiful sunny day (understandable) but then proceeded to take us to a tiny crowded table at the back of the restaurant, bypassing free tables by the window. When we requested the window seats she did finally take care of us but the open question is why didn’t she take us there initially especially having just had a conversation with her about wanting to be at or near outside? Other than that minor detail, we loved the restaurant and will definitely be back! It is the quintessential Boston seafood experience.

Drinks were good. Oysters were fresh. Burrata was tasty. Vongole was underwhelming; clams and noodles were overcooked and there was overall way too much parmesan. More importantly, the dish was sweet... it was no good. Scallops were delicious. Service was great.

We decided to take our time between drinks, appetizers and dinner. We never felt rushed. The server was attentive and friendly. The clam chowder, calamari ( with a little kick) and Caesar salad was excellent. The lobster was delicious and instead of a cold lobster roll, we had it warmed with butter. All exceptional.

We ordered three entrees: pan-roasted halibut, seared tuna and fish and chips, thinking fish would be their specialty. Halibut was overcooked and bland. The seared tuna was chewy and stringy. The batter of the fried fish was soggy. The only redeeming dishes are the vegetable side dishes. The mushroom, spinach and broccolini all tasted fresh and seasoned just right.

Great food, lovely service. Well cooked fish. Good sides and desserts. My sole quibble is that the lobster risotto needed some tang and brightness — definitely needs lemon zest! And lemon on the side.
