On weekdays, power breakfasts and lunches are followed by a vibrant after-work cocktail and dinner scene. On weekends, Sea Grille’s sunlight-filled dining room or outdoor terrace (seasonally) is the ideal spot along the water for a leisurely lunch or special date night as the sun sets over the harbor.
The clam chowder received high praise, but other dishes like the lobster roll and halibut were criticized for being bland or poorly prepared.
Service
Service quality was inconsistent; while some customers praised attentive staff, others reported inattentive or rude service.
Atmosphere
The restaurant's waterfront location and ambiance were frequently highlighted as positive aspects of the dining experience.
Pricing
Many customers felt the food was overpriced for the portion sizes and quality, leading to mixed feelings about value.

I rated this 4 stars instead of 5 mainly because of the value. Breakfast for a family of four came to $175 (thankfully covered by Amex program credit), and for what was offered, the price felt about 20-30% higher than it should be.
That said, the food quality was good, well prepared, and nicely presented. With better pricing, this would easily be a 5-star experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Birthday My Daughter Will Never Forget
The Boston Harbor Hotel is famous for its stunning views and iconic presence—but as a parent planning a special birthday celebration, what touched me most was the extraordinary service and unforgettable culinary experience at the Sea Grille.
The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in, and the food was exceptional. But the real magic came from Executive Pastry Chef Chelsea, whose talent and kindness elevated my daughter’s birthday into a memory she will cherish for years.
✨ APPLE CRISP OAT BAR
Apple Compote, Coconut–Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (v/gf/nf)
Warm, comforting, and beautifully balanced.
🍫 TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CREAM TART
Valrhona Chocolate Pastry Cream, Caramelized White Chocolate Crèmeux, Milk Chocolate Mousse
Chelsea created a delicate chocolate feather and even wrote my daughter’s name and “Happy Birthday” on the plate. Watching my daughter’s face light up—it truly meant the world.
🌺 GINGER SPICE TORTE
Burnt Cinnamon Meringue, Cranberry Consommé, Poached Cranberry (veg/nf)
Elegant, seasonal, and absolutely delicious.
As a parent, there’s nothing more special than seeing your child feel celebrated. Sea Grille and Chef Chelsea delivered that and more.
We will absolutely be back—for the view, yes, but even more for the heart and hospitality that made this birthday unforgettable.
