Best Seafood Restaurants in Fenway–Kenmore

We are locals and hadn’t been to Atlantic Fish for months, but are so glad we did this weekend! All seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and although it’s hard to pick a favorite, the tuna tartare appetizer was probably the standout. Tuna tartare is on virtually every upscale menu in Boston, but the wasabi tobiko topping at Atlantic Fish is a twist that sets theirs above all the others. Oysters and Cioppino were also great. Overall, the food, service and experience were fantastic and we will be back soon!

Excellent food and service. Several of our group shared a selection of oysters, and individually ordered blue crab salad, ceviche, yellowfin tuna tartare, romanesco cauliflower, Maine mussels, halibut, bouillabaisse, and Arctic char. Everyone loved what they got! Service was very good. Our table was beneath a couple of very efficient space heaters but our server immediately agreed to shut one off when we requested it. They do not offer dessert or coffee, which struck us as bit unique. Note also that they add a 20% pre-tax gratuity automatically. Note to mobility-impaired diners: the restaurant entrance is up five steps and through a vestibule (two doors). The Google listing says front entrance and restrooms are wheelchair accessible, but I did not notice an elevator at the entrance nor was I offered to use an elevator when I inquired about the location of the restrooms. Restrooms are down two flights of stairs which are also used by waitstaff and porters to bring stuff up from the kitchen down there. It’s possible they have accessibility options that you must ask about.

I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.

Great experience Banks. This was a W concierge recommended spot for close walking distance and good food, service and ambiance and it didn’t disappoint in the least. Beautiful interior - we sat on first floor near fireplace - service was fast and door was portioned perfectly and delicious. Highly Recommend!

Second time in and our party of five had a fantastic experience, equal parts food, drink, service (especially waitress with impeccable timing) and ambience. Octopus, endive salad, lamb chops, filet, duck club, burgers - all delicious and prepared exactly as requested, including GF accommodation. A Manhattan heavy on specifics was expert-crafted, sub-zero cold and delivered at the perfect time. Great music heavy on classic indie played loud enough to hear but low enough to talk normally. We’ll be back for sure!
