Our favorite “special occasion” restaurant. The branzino for two is perhaps the most succulent and tender fish I’ve ever had, and the tableside plating by their skilled staff makes it feel very special. Also recommend the grilled octopus appetizer; delicious!

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!

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.
