Best Beach Restaurants In Boston Near Me

Natali Ferro: Very disappointed! We used to live at the Harbour Towers right across the street 5 years ago and would come to this restaurant almost weekly! The pizzas were some of the best in town and the carbonara with Asparagus was fenomenal! We have been a couple of times since they reopened and the food has taken a turn for the worst.! The carbonara is by far the worst I have tried, tasteless and overpowered by Parmesan cheese… and the pizzas are just Meh! I asked manager if they had changed chefs and she proudly responded the new chef was from Rome :-/ that almost makes it worse to be honest… a chef from Rome with very questionable pasta and pizza! The service was also very regular, our waiter was very nice, but we got the food before we even got our drinks, he forgot one of the drinks and then out of the 6 of us, only 5 got dishes, the 6th dish arrived almost 15 min after the rest, so one person ended up eating alone while the test of us watched. I was surprised when I called at 1:30 pm to ask if they had availability for 6 and they said yes, I thought probably cause it was on the later side, but I now think locals don’t come here anymore, only tourist in the city looking for a place with available seating. So sad!

Harrison Ingham: I went here with my fiancé for her birthday dinner because what better than to take your significant other for a nice juicy steak. For years, she and I have been wanting to try a good wagyu closer to our area so I did some research which time and time again pointed me in the direction of Abe & Louie's of Boston Massachusetts so I made the right choice and put in the reservations in which I specified it was her birthday and her first TRUE STEAKHOUSE.After a week of anticipation and not telling her where we were going or what we were doing or why we have to drive to Boston the time had arisen and off to Boston we went. Once we arrived and I gave my name we were immediately treated like royalty and brought to the best 2 seat table in the house. Right in front of a fireplace overlooking the entire dining room and right by the kitchen. We ordered of course, two wagyu beef steaks one of which being the 12oz westholme NY strip from Australia and her order being a striploin from japan. Both were cooked to perfection along with our Brussel sprouts and whipped potatoes not to mention my French onion soup I started off with that was just simply incredible.It was all just so overwhelmingly good, but what really made my night complete was the fact that after not thinking they would do anything other then wish her happy birthday for a 7th time we were getting ready to ask for the bill when our waiter came around the corner with dessert plates and a giant hunk of chocolate cake and ice cream with a candle lit right in the center. To me this was as much of a shock as it was to her and the cherry on the top to a already great experience with perfectly cooked steaks and for all of these reasons on top of a excellent waiter I must give this place a 5/5 AND IS GREATLY RECOMMENDED.

David Blumberg: Wow this was AMAZING!! Perfectly seasoned fried Shrimp, Scallops, Clams and Fish - not salty!!! This was better than just great, it was World Class. Affordable too!! Reservations not accepted, full parties seated only.

Dan Smith: Excellent…… on the water.

Irina Rasskazova: Amazing food and cocktails, good selection of wines. Love this place for brunch (lobster eggs benny, shakshuka, and croque madame are amazing!) and dinner (oysters, steak tartar, broccoli, and all pastas).

Nick K: Friendly service and delicious food. Nice location by the water. Convenient brunch option in the area if you’re looking for a dine in experience.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Lobster Benedict, Lobster Popover …More

Mike Barros: I didn't take pics of the food, but this small plate restaurant was super yummy. Order a couple of plates per person and you get to taste a bunch of different flavors. Everything was great and I personally liked the duck confit, steak tar tar, and the crisy lamb ribs were amazing! The ham and cheese croquettes were great and the scallops were maybe my favorite dish out of all of them and the tagliolioni was quite mind blowing. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back.

Gabriele Manganaro: The food is really good here. Super delicious. The service is great. The location is also excellent, with a view of the bay and the pier and away from the hustle of the Seaport center. Highly recommend it!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Shakshouka …More

T B: Extremely overrated, the lobster definitely does not worth $100, drinks are lame.. not coming back.

Dorrian Jaffe: I visited here with my mom and sister before the Boston marathon and, as good as the food was, the experience was incredibly subpar. We were running late (our fault) but when we repeatedly called the restaurant to let them know, we were not able to speak to anyone and when we arrived, were told they might not be able to accommodate our reservation given our lateish arrival, in spite of the fact that our table wasn’t ready (we had to sit and wait for it to be cleaned) until after we arrived (late). Eventually they were able to seat us but the experience didn’t improve much after this. The waiter was polite but condescending about our questions and requests and made absolutely no effort to try to accommodate my sister’s vegetarian diet (i.e. asking the chef what was possible) which, to be fair; not every restaurant is. However, a restaurant that prides itself on farm-to-table dining would be expected to have at least one option specifically for non-meat eaters which the waiter, in no what certain terms, made it clear they weren’t willing to do, besides removing bacon from one dish already on the menu. The fact that this restaurant was Tapas style was also a surprise to us, given the prices and the lack of indication on the website that the restaurant catered to small plates (if this had been advertised anywhere, we would not have come here as my family consists of large portion diners). The gap between our first course and second course was over an hour with the server stopping by approximately once. The food and drinks were very delicious but you can find far superior food in Boston that has portions that are actually worth the price. As much as I wanted to like this place, I wouldn’t return.EDIT: I would like to add that, after leaving this review, I checked the website again and there is absolutely NO mention of small “shareable” plates or tapas-style dining which leads me to believe this restaurant is purposely counting on the fact that people believe the portions are commensurate with the prices. Personally, I find this incredibly misleading marketing and I’m feeling even more scammed by an average restaurant masquerading as a fine dining experience.

Adam Lockett: Very small portion each $45 plate had three bites on it. Ended up having to go somewhere else to get full. Great drinks spot.Recommended dishes Crispy Lamb Ribs …More

Alex Yang: Amazing selection of food. The staff was funny, engaging, and well knowledges about the food. They told us that they give out small plates, so I was scared I was not going to be full once I finish but the plates were decently sized and we did not have to get an outrageous amount of food to be full. The steak tar tar was flavorful, the meat was a bit stiff, but overall good beef tar tar. The blue fin tuna was super flavorful and fresh. The only thing was it was a bit too acidic for me. I got a rack of lamb as well. This was sort of disappointing as the rack of lamb was quite small leaving me to believe they killed a baby lamb. I am not familiar with lambs, but the rack of lamb was about of big as my hand. Eating the lamb was kinda hard. The first bites were easy but getting the meat in between the bones proved very difficult for me. The lamb tasted great, not gaimy at all and the sauce and tomato’s mixed well with the lamb flavors. There was also a root in the dish but I am not sure what it was. It tasted like a carrot and a plantain mixed together into a sweet potato sized disk. The 4 layer bar was alright though I’m not a fan of chocolate and 2 out of the 4 layers were chocolate. The sorbets were sweet but did not give me that chalky feel some do which was a positive for me. The flavors were present and they gave a very generous portion. Usually fancy restaurants give you like 2 scoops but we got like an entire pint basically. Overall amazing experience, definitely would recommend if your willing to pay a good few bucks.

Alfonso Perfferle: Really cool place.Excellent customer service.Delicious 😋 food.Great Manhattan Cocktails 🍸 👌Beautiful views!

Richard Cheng: Group of 6 of us went for dinner on 4/9/23. Two of us ordered the rack of lamb (a pricey main course!!! or as menu calls it Third Course). For both orders, the ribs cannot be separated (it would take a clever to do that). We tried using our caveman skill to no avail so we had to pick up the whole rack. Not sure what cut they used.This this really absolutely appalling for Woodshill. Besides they were tasteless and hardly grilled properly. I would have asked for a refund but I didn't want to embarrass our host.

Tami Curley: Small plates to share gave us the opportunity to sample a variety of delicious choices. Our choices included BUCATINI ALL'AMATRICIANA, TAGLIOLINI, SEA SCALLOPS A LA PLANCHA, CHARRED BEEF SHORT RIB, GRASS FED RIBEYE ROULADE, PIER 4 LAYER BAR, and Sorbet.
