Bottom Line

What we loved

  • We came in without a reservation right before 5pm & were seated promptly. In the future, we would make a reservation, especially after 6pm and/or on the wekeend.

  • Karina, our waitress, was phenomenal. Genuine, personable & always anticipating our needs.

  • Food is amazing. Would make a trip out to Boston just to eat here again.

  • Bathroom is clean & there are plenty of stalls.

  • Branzino entree came with two sides, rather than a $3 - $5 charge per.

  • Hot hand towels were provided at the end of the meal.

What we did not like

  • The bathroom is located down a set of stairs, an accessibility issue.

  • The 2-seater tables are a bit small & space can quickly be occupied with drinks, appetizers & cutlery.

Verdict

We stumbled upon Atlantic Fish Company just before the dinner rush and snagged a table, but we'd definitely recommend making a reservation, especially for later dining.

Our server, Karina, was an absolute gem! Attentive, friendly, and genuinely personable – she really elevated our experience.

And the food? Amazing! Seriously, we'd travel back to Boston just to savor those flavors again. The branzino was a highlight, and we loved that it came with two sides included.

A few minor observations: the tables for two are a bit cozy (read: small), and the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, which poses an accessibility issue.

But those are minor quibbles in an otherwise fantastic experience. Hot towels at the end of the meal were a lovely touch! Overall, Atlantic Fish Company is a must-try for seafood lovers in the Boston area. Highly recommend!
