There are so many positive reviews for this restaurant, we were disappointed to not have the same experience. Overall incredibly unremarkable. Food was ok at best, shrimp cocktail was overcooked, clam chowder was average, everything else was ordinary. Potatoes au gratin was the best thing that hit our table and got an A+. Those were some expensive potatoes because nothing else was worth the expense. The place was clearly understaffed (confirmed by the manger later on) but our server did nothing to manage our expectations. We were visiting from out of town and were looking for a fun New England seafood experience - unfortunately this wasn't the place.
Atlantic Fish Company is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Boston. I first ate here in 2023, and three years later I came back—and I’m happy to say the food is just as delicious as I remembered.
The clam chowder served in a bread bowl is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, creamy, and full of flavor. We also ordered the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and tasted great.
The restaurant is in a fantastic location on Newbury Street, the prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the service was excellent.
If you’re looking for great seafood in Boston, I highly recommend Atlantic Fish Company. It’s absolutely worth a visit.

Terrific meal here. We made a late dinner reservation but that did not diminish the experience at all. The service was noticeably polished and attentive, really top notch, from the front desk the moment we walked in to the very end. Warm bread and butter service. The meal was well paced, not at all rushed. Drinks came immediately. The food was high quality ingredients and well-executed versions. We ordered the clam chowder - so creamy and loaded with clams probably the best I’ve had; shrimp wedge salad with thick cut bacon and a horseradish kick. And we enjoyed our entrees: striped bass with miso brown butter and the fra diavolo. Check was brought and processed swiftly. Lots of attention to detail that we appreciated so much. Great place for a seafood meal and we plan to return whenever we’re in Boston!
First of all the food is amazing, from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course and dessert, all of it was beyond expectations. Everything was amazing. That in itself was enough for a high review, but when you add the service, my goodness Kristen (hope I spelled it right) was the icing on top of a great food experience.
Honestly, I probably would have written a great review, but when you combine the food, atmosphere and the outstanding service I just had to put a great review on here.
She was, in my opinion, the perfect server. She “read the room” well and provided the kind of dining experience that will be remembered for a long time. Kristen was the difference that made “I’ll probably go back next time I am in town” turn into “there is no other restaurant that I want to go to next time I am in town”
She is a shining star in the service industry, and I am already looking forward to my next trip to Boston.
Well done Atlantic Fish Company, you have a keeper there for sure.
See you next time!
Really delicious food, very large portions and friendly staff to summarize!
We ordered clam chowder which was super creamy and wonderful, we ordered the lobster roll which was a very large full portion and I believe one is enough for two people. And the crop crusted haddock which was also very delicious. Highly recommend this place. 👍👍👌👌👌
