    We always love Atlantic Fish. The food and the service are top notch. The room feels just a bit more dark and closed in now that the kitchen has been walled off. So the ambience is just a tad darker and more ‘claustrophobic’. But I doubt that will stop us from patronizing Atlantic Fish.

    We have eaten at Atlantic Fish many times over the years, and it is consistently great. The noise can get loud at times, but all of the other qualities far outweigh any other factors. Food and service are great.

    (1) There was foul smell that oozed up to our dining area from the bathrooms in the basement. (2) The spinach was so salty that it showed lack of attention by whoever cooked it...To be fair, the server changed the spinach dish for us. (3) That same server behaved as if we had been his school buddies. We are not. He did not know how to be appropriately reserved while polite and friendly at the same time. That was irritating. (4) We were given cramped dining space even though only about 20% of the restaurant seats were taken. Summary: (1) Food was disappointing. It used to be better. (2) Services were there, but the wrong kinds of services. We will not go back to this restaurant.

    Variety of seafood on the menu was exceptional, and what we had (bouillabaisse, lobster roll, crab salad) was delicious and fresh. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portions provided. Highly recommend. Only minor quibble is that the dining area is a bit cramped, wish there was more space between tables b/c it felt like our neighbors could hear everything we were saying.

    I’ve been to Boston twice and have had two of the best experiences at Atlantic Fish. The Lobster Risotto with huge pieces of lobster is to die for ( ultimate comfort food) and my husband said the Chilean Sea Bass was melt in your mouth the best he has ever had. The bread service was so good. The bread is popover and light served with room temperature butter. YUM What made our visit especially special was Tony. He is a professional server in every skill. He has mastered the art of hospitality and it shows through his immaculate service.

    We had dinner at Atlantic Fish on a Thursday evening. Service by Daniel was excellent. The food was good, but not great. I had salmon, asparagus and potatoes gratin. The salmon was good, but the asparagus and potatoes were just ok. My friend had haddock, spinach and mashed potatoes. Again, the haddock was good, but the veggies were just ok. I don’t feel like it was worth the amount we paid. Probably won’t go back.

    Such an amazing time! Went here for me and my girlfriend's anniversary. The food was delicious! The service was amazing. Glen was our server and did an amazing job. He checked in every now and then but not too much. It was just the right amount. He made excellent recommendations. And we chose a few of them. It was very delicious! Everything came out at the perfect timing during our dinner. We got stuck in traffic and couldn't find a parking spot. We were 30 minutes late to our reservation, but they still accommodated us. We called ahead and told them we were going to be late and they were ok with it. For such a packed place for dinner, it wasn't as loud as I thought it was going to be. They had larger groups in tables and it didn't seem like people were yelling or anything. I would definitely come back and not just for special occasions. For food we ordered the shrimp cocktail, which were huge and actually seasoned perfectly. You could eat them as is without sauce or lemon. We also ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl and they split the bread bowl into two separate bowels which is such a nice touch. We also had the paella for two and the lobster ravioli. The paella came out super hot and every piece is seafood was cooked to perfection. The rice was perfectly seasoned and had nice crispy bottoms and a fluffy top. The ravioli was amazing. It had a touch of spice which helped come together with the sauce. There were also lobster pieces on top. Overall they did an amazing job as a team. Everyone seemed to help each other out.
