Average food, high prices and poor service. You have better options. I went there for a business lunch and watched 50 people get food before me. The prices were high for lunch also. After 50 mins of waiting for food after sitting with a reservation, the staff acted like nothing happened. Like it was fine. No real apology from anyone. No “we’ll make it right”. You have better options.

Penna al vodka had unadvertised peppers but over the pasta was good. Other dish was short rib grilled cheese. There was barely any cheese in it but the short rid was excellent was it saved the dish. The French fries were excellent. I didn’t even need ketchup.

All I have to say is MICE... several years of them scurrying-across the dining room floor as we tried to eat.., GROSS— of course this over ruled all other considerations.., oh, and a general lack of concern from management. Didn’t even apologize. Server was courteous about it but clearly not responsible for this type of issue. Never again.

Central Wharf easily accommodated our party of 10. The seating is spacious and comfortable and the décor is very stylish. The service was excellent. The menu has something for everyone and it's very affordable. The Lobster Roll was delicious and full of lobster meat. Their pretzel app is enormous! Prices are great and quality of food is excellent. Great place for families, etc.

Well, I guess I'll start by saying the food was super tasty! We had a couple pizzas and an appetizer and all of it was great. But, the service was terrible and we left disappointed. We were only 1 of 3 tables that were there at 7:00pm, so they were NOT busy. Our waiter brought my the wrong beer, forgot my soup and just barely even noticed us. We had to stop a host twice to ask about our food and our check while our waiter was in the next room wrapping silverware. Coming from a food service background I am typically very patient and understanding, but this service was just no good.

New menu, which looked great; very slow delivery of food. Several workers were going back and forth by our table in the dining room with dirty bucket/mop/big trash bag. Further, the door they were entering/exiting continued to slam, interrupting our business lunch meeting.

It took a while after being seated to be waited on. The waitress was nice enough but seemed overwhelmed. The cocktails were weak, should have gotten beer or wine. The harvest bowl was suppose to have quinoa and pepitas, I counted 2 pepitas and the quinoa was MIA. The other meals my friends had were also meh. So, to sum up, we waited a bit for bad drinks and mediocre food. I don’t see a need to come back here. Many other restaurants in the city that are much better.

Food was fair in taste, the Sea Scallops entree was not worth the $28. Scallops were cooked great, however I questioned the pairing of potatoes and corn on the cob with the meal. I requested the meal as described on menu. They were out of the wedges and they were out. The substitution was french fries. I recommend reviewing the pairing of this dish. Suggestion, pairing with another type of vegetable like asparagus, beets, or seasonal. You could also pair with a complimentary flavored risotto like lemon or saffron. That might make the dish worth the price.

We were on a trip to Boston and you expect good seafood, right? Worst crab cakes I have ever eaten (no taste and overpowered by a mustard topping) and the mussels were mediocre. Wine was disappointing--probably my fault for ordering the house wine. Saving grace--our server was helpful and attentive and the location was 2 blocks from our hotel so it was convenient. Hate to write bad reviews because I am pretty easy to please (not a foodie), but I would not go back.

This place has a mouse problem! The place was fine for a late dinner in the city and the food was good but I will never be back!!!! The mice we're running around the whole place, must have seen at least 7. I couldn't believe it and we weren't the only customers that saw these furry things. When we told the wait staff they were well aware of the problem. They blamed it on the window and doors being open.

Excellent service and my cocktail was nice. However, the food could be improved. Lumps of flour in the clam chowder. Caesar salad didn’t have correct dressing. No bread. Linguini and clams were so salty I could barely taste anything else. And when I asked for grated cheese, I got a small ramekin with some kind of lump cheese...definitely not Parmesan and certainly not grated. I might return for a drink, but not for the food.
