Our Server Daniel was hands down the best server I have had in years. I have run a restaurant and bar for 40 years and he outshines every server I have had. Kudos to him. Very professional and has an incredible personality. You should be proud to have him on your team.

Having gone here for twenty years, I can say that my meal Monday was one of the first disappoints. Food was warm, not hot. Service was ok, but not excellent. The Desert was stale. The Halibut portion was small and blackened seasoning was double or triple what it should have been. Frankly if I didn't like the restaurant historically I would have given it a two or three star.

My friend and I decided to dine at Atlantic Fish for a belated birthday celebration. She had the Fisherman’s Platter which included lightly fried scallops shrimp, haddock, clams and French fries. It was absolutely delicious because I took a few pieces. It was also an incredible value with a generous portion.I had the lobster roll which was good, but a little too much mayonnaise for my taste. We both had wine and cocktails. The wait person was warm and friendly. The we sat in a booth, but if you have not been here, the bar looks welcoming and fairly roomy. This is a real everyday as well as destination restaurant.

Food is decent,nothing special. The prices are fair for seafood. We were a table of 6 people, we wait an hour for the food. Our specific waiter was so rude. Overall, Not going to come back or recommend about this restaurant, Unfortunately. The good things: There is a coat service, we booked for a table in advance, and we got the table right away. The clam chowder is very good. That’s it for me.

We were there celebrating a birthday. The restaurant was much busier than normal. The table across the aisle from us was on the louder side that we had to talk much louder than normal to be heard. Our server was good, but that other table demanded a lot of attention. I had to ask multiple times for my water to be refilled. Food wise the steamed lobster & clam chowder were great as always. I used to order the lobster ravioli, which has now changed to a scallop & lobster mix. It wasn't bad, but I wish there were also pieces of scallop present on the plate like the lobster meat.

Food was ok. Appetizers were pricey and not enough to share. Very expensive place. It was busy for a Sunday evening, which made the place a bit tight and crowded. Didn't like that our table was right by the door. Service was great.

Went there on Sunday, 3/12/23 for DineOut Boston but Atlantic Fish would not permit ordering on DineOut menu although Atlantic Fish listing stated: "Dine Out Boston lunch menu available March 12-25, 2023, except for Saturdays." Lunch for 2 people without any lobster was over $130 with one alcoholic drink. Nothing special about the fish dishes. Better value at other fish places in Boston.

We have eaten At Atlantic Fish several many times when in the city. The ambiance, service and cocktails are still top notch. However I have noticed that cost cutting is affecting the dining experience. This is the second time I this had happened. The first time was the halibut which was delicious but was half the thickness of previous halibut entrees I ordered at Atlantic fish. . I mentioned this to our server , who was very gracious and agreed it was wrong and adjusted the entree price to half price to reflect the half portion. This past weekend The swordfish was presented the same way. The prices increased over the past year and that is justified with food and wage inflation. However cutting corners is not acceptable. I have no problem paying the $225-$275 for the meal for 2, but should not be looking at a entree portion that is 50% deduced as well. I did not say anything this weekend because I have decided to express my opinion but dining elsewhere in the future, but want other diners to be aware and hopefully this once fine restaurant will make changes.

Had dinner on a busy Friday nigh. 2 people-we ordered a salad and an appetizer to split and both were large and very good. The mains were exceptional-wolffish and swordfish which came with large sides and there was one ice cream dessert. our server was wonderful and knew her wines which we ordered and were very pleased. We were not rushed at all and were there for almost 3 hours. This is definitely one of the finest seafood restaurants in Boston.

Atlantic Fish was absolutely superb. I researched and ultimately chose this restaurant, as my partner loves sea food, as it had outstanding reviews. It did not disappointment. The food came out much faster than we anticipated, it was delicious and the first time I have been exposed to GOOD seafood. We had outstanding service, the seating was perfect (quieted the noise as best it could), and we thought the pricing was a bargain considering how high quality all of the food was. If we find ourselves back in Boston, we will 100% be returning. Best date night ever.
