About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
Our two-story fish emporium elevates the 40-year legacy of our original location in Chestnut Hill (a few doors down from where we are now). Here we feature a large raw bar, open kitchen and glass-enclosed lounge. In warmer months, we retract the lounge’s glass walls and ceiling for drinking under the sun or stars. And we open our patio, overlooking Hammond Pond, for al fresco dining. Join us upstairs at our restaurant or shop our fish market on the first floor.

    Too slow for a business lunch service. Please speed up the pace for business diners.

    Waitress was great, and food was good and service was very quick. Although there wasn’t much time between apps and dinner our waitress didn’t rush us and allowed us to enjoy our meal at our speed.

    Good, service drinks were great. It was restaurant week so I took my family there and we got the food off the menu and we all loved the choices we got and it was worth it.

    Our server John was always available and checked with us at the appropriate points. Very efficient and organized. The good was great. My guest had the Dine out Boston offerings which were very large portions. I ordered off the main menu which was perfect for me with my favorites.

    We are frequent customers so know this is an aberration but the service was terrible. The server forgot our drinks and chowder. By the time we got someone to track her down our entrees arrived. She brought the wrong drink. It took 50 minutes to actually get any food. We had to track her down for the dessert and then the bill. I hope she was new and that was why. Good was good as usual
