- SStevenVIPGreater Boston •19 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe have been to Mile Marker several times and it never fails to be amazing! 2 of us had the Butternut seafood risotto, and if you like scallops, shrimp and mussels, along with the risotto, then this is something that you should have. Another had the crusted haddock and the other had the fish taco's. Anything that we have had, has always been great!
