    We had breakfast at Rowes Wharf and it was wonderful. The food was delicious and the view was relaxing. The service was above average. Pricing is high, but factored with the view and service you can overcome it.

    We had a great dinner at Rowes Wharf. Just enjoyed the appetizers in courses. So many great apps. Couple of creative cocktails and a good bottle of wine, very tough to beat.

    The food was not that great considering the scale of the establishment. It wasn’t bad, but honestly the best part was the oysters we ordered, and those come raw…

    We had a fabulous lunch/brunch at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille. We had a window seat with a beautiful view of Boston Harbor, the service was excellent, and the food was sublime. (Our server, Janice, was cheerful and very helpful.) I had a perfectly cooked and beautiful piece of halibut, swimming in a shallow dish of perfectly balanced clam chowder. (One of the best chowders I’ve had!) It wasn’t extremely busy this time of year, so the room was quiet enough to have a nice romantic corner to ourselves. This was a pre-Valentine’s date, and I’m so glad we didn’t go somewhere that was overbooked. I would recommend the Sea Grille at Rowes Wharf for ANYTIME!

    Food was great and service was fantastic, but the management didn’t do anything about the screaming children running through the restaurant. Felt like at a place like this, they would have families with kids that behaved.

    The food was above and beyond, the environment is warm and inviting, and customer service was genuine and thoughtful. This has been a Christmas tradition for my partner and I for the last two years, and based on the above will continue to be so. However the abusive behaviour of one of the managers showed to wait-staff was extremely concerning. He chose to do this in Spanish, assuming that both: customers would not understand him and because in English this sort of language would not be tolerated. In one case we noticed an argument between him and a server, in which the server appeared flustered and distraught. Another is witnessing him use servers as a proxy to make hostile reprimands toward their colleagues. It was a truly heartbreaking experience that undercut what would be a positive experience, especially on Christmas.

    The ambiance was wonderful nestled in the Boston Harbor Hotel. The Christmas Eve dinner was romantic and delicious! The magical mushrooms were light and yummy. And the baked stuffed lobster could easily feed two people. The ritz cracker stuffing was so good! Would have expected a few more seafood options considering its on the wharf. My husband had the halibut and the portion was relatively small compared yo the 2lb lobster ($95) but the flavor didn’t disappoint.

    Tremendous food, but the restaurant needs to up its wine game to be a truly top-notch, fine-dining establishment. Ordered stellar pinot noir from the menu, waiter came back an said there wasn't any. Also, the restaurant is lacking on stemware, serving a premier cru in a Bordeaux stem. Said they don't offer Pinot Noir stemware, which shows a lack of seriousness in the wine program.

    Food was excellent. View was partially obstructed from the middle row of tables but still nice. Service was relaxed until we told them we had a plane to catch and then it accelerated nicely. Come here for the view, enjoy the food and be prepared for a relaxing meal.

    Been here many times in the past but the food quality has seriously deteriorated. Came for lunch. Turkey club was cold and soggy and so were the potato chips (as if it had been in the refrigerator for a while and prepared in advance. The fish sandwich is a mess. The scallops were over-battered and tasteless - obvious frozen - not fresh.
