Very good gastro-pub type food with friendly service in a lively environment. A little pricey (product of location right next to the wharf and aquarium). We started with a refreshing cucumber, vodka-based concoction. It was perfect for the hot, humid weather. Then we had the clam chowder and elote to start. The chowder was tasty (though a bit thinner than I’m used to) and the elote - especially with that cowboy butter was amazing. Entrees were fish-and-chips (fresh and flaky), short rib bolognese (huge, delicious portion with rotini), and a grain bowl (w/ chicken) that was surprisingly flavorful. All-in-all, the food was top-notch. Our server was fantastic (friendly, efficient, and engaging). The setting was lively, dark wood bar - a bit noisy, but nothing problematic. The only drawback is price. There’s definitely a location and tourist premium built-in.
Ollena’s service really was fantastic, firstly. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and gave us attentive service. We had lobster bisque, a lobster roll, fish and chips, and Soppressata pizza, all of which were delicious and came out quickly, especially considering it was a Friday night. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable.
First night in Boston and we were looking for something close to our hotel but with great menu and reviews. This did not disappoint! We ordered four courses to share and asked the waitress, Orlanda, to have them come one at a time. She was amazing and still felt like it wasn’t timed well. Zero complaints on our end as we enjoyed our night very much. Perfect timing in our opinion!
Can’t beat the happy hour oysters here! Beet salad was perfection of flavors and textures. If you are a little adventurous try the n/a elderflower mule, I love it! Perfect location with a patio, mix of classic and top 100 tunes.
Amazing experience and service. They offered to split the Bolognese into two separate plates for us which was so helpful. The pizza, oysters, and wine were also very good.
Came here for lunch before heading to the old state house and other sights. It was packed and we were lucky to get seated immediately. It has a full service bar in case you want a drink with your meal. We had the burger, spicy chicken sandwich and the avocado toast all of which were great. The location and ambience were wonderful
The service here is always consistent just as the food and drinks are always fresh and delicious. Do yourself a favor and come here also for dollar oysters from 3pm to 5pm! You won't be disappointed!! Calvin C.
Stopped by for “happy hour”, 1 oysters. Sat at the bar and was warmly greeted and she took my order. I didn’t catch her name but my receipt says Left B. I asked for some recommendations for local beers. She happily recommended a few. The oysters and beers were delicious. We will be back for dinner! Highly recommended SSP!
