“We went here for dinner last night and were seated at the bar. I could not say better things about the experience or the bartender that took care of us. The food was on point - everything we tried was delicious and none of the courses felt like they were filler in the menu. Some of the best dishes were the least expected ones (which is usually the case!). We went with the wine pairing for the meal and thought each wine was perfect with each course. There were some interesting pairings that really went wonderfully with the food. Of the current tasting menu, our favorites were the red snapper, the snail and artichoke ragout, the scallops and the sweet potato tamale. Definitely excited to come and try new iterations of the menu since it changes so frequently and DEFINITELY would want to sit at the bar as our conversations with the bartender made the meal.“

“Years back, I had an out of town client I was bringing back to our office in HSq who spotted the name with a chuckle. "Only in the Republic of Cambridge would you have a fish shack packed into a 1940's gas station. Yeah," he went on, "they probably smoke the fish with cannabis. So, Cambridge." The next day, I had our receptionist order their lobster sandwiches for his meeting. He and I headed over to pick up lunch.His reaction when I pulled into the CROWDED parking area ... "You have got to be kidding!" Not knowing what we were having for lunch, he grumbled as we slipped into this TINY closet of a fish store - café. As he watched them grill up the last of the sandwiches his eyes grew to the size of limes. Yes, it took almost 12 minutes to negotiate a left turn out. YES, park down the street. You'll need the walk.The client, at the close of the meeting, requested a stop back there en route to the airport. Whereupon, he purchased two for his trip back to London. The first of many drive bys he has requested over the last 15 years. If it were not for his smart mouth, I'd still be driving by to get fish at Bread & Checkbook. Thanks to that cheeky Brit, Alive & Kickin has become our go to fish store. And yes, we love sitting under the make shift tin shack outside, reveling in our bliss watching the fools speed by.“

“I recently got take out from here for dinner and it was pretty good. I’ve eaten from here several times (generally for lobster rolls) and haven’t been disappointed.The portion size for the lobster is generous as well as for the French fries (but their onion rings are way better). My biggest complaint is probably how crazy expensive they are in comparison to other lobster rolls. I can definitely get cheaper ones elsewhere and the quality is just as good. Almost every time I’ve come here, there’s been a lobster shell that wasn’t taken out. I’ll also add that on this particular occasion, I had ordered two lobster rolls but they only gave me one. Shame on me for not realizing as I paid and left, but they didn’t seem to feel bad for the mistake (even though I know I said two lobster rolls over the phone) when I called to have them make a second.“

“I can’t believe I don’t have a review up for this place. This is my favorite place to eat on Hanover. The food is amazing and the staff is so so nice!! I have never had a bad meal here and I’ve been here loads of times. Everything is delicious. They start you off with homemade bread and it only gets better from there. I recommend the butternut squash ravioli or the lamb ragu if this is your first visit. Both are EXCELLENT. The meatballs or calamari appetizers are two of my favorites. Ask for any specials too. Sometimes they have seasonal dishes that will rock your socks off. Can’t finish up the review without mentioning how wonderful the staff is one last time. A few last things, if you’re going on a game day or the weekend, it’s best to call ahead for a table. The place is small and cozy and gets busy quickly. Don’t pass up coming here for lunch when it’s way less busy. It’s amazing any time of day. 5+++++++ stars.“

The service is always excellent here and cocktails are crisp and fun. If meeting 6 or more, the bar area is long and narrow so it's not ideal to spend lots of time there but fine for a first drink while you wait for everyone.

“This restaurant remains a mainstay of the Boston Back Bay/Boylston St area. They have maintained their high culinary standards and penchant for great service over the years. Pair that with a very warm and inviting atmosphere, you cannot but have a wonderful time at this place, for any occasion.We just had a pre Valentines visit, and the experience was superb all around. The evening was made even more special by our delightful server Karina, who was just wonderful all around. She brought great positive energy and vibe to our evening. We tried the Valentine special Rockefeller Oyster appetizer and that was out-of-this- world delicious. Paired that up with a special order of grilled calamari, which was spiced to perfection. For the entrees, the seared scallops were delectable, but the whole Branzino was truly a special. While the presentation may or may not be appealing to everyone, the fish texture, flavor and preparation makes it melt like butter in your mouth. I have had Branzino in other places, but the way it is done at this restaurant, it is nothing but a gastronomic delight. The accompanying red Boudreaux made the entire meal a very memorable experience.Overall, a great place for a meal, especially if you are a seafood lover.“

“The food here is phenomenal, but I really want to call out the service b/c it is absolutely *divine* – from everyone – host, manager, wait staff, bartender, owner. I came in solo on Friday night hoping to snag a bar seat and the place was fully booked (bar + tables). I mentioned disappointedly that it was my one night out away from my two young kids, and never before have I seen people move so swiftly to accommodate me! They put me at a table for a drink and app while we waited for a bar seat to open, and eventually I was able to grab a seat at the bar. It was just so kind and caring to feel taken care of, and everyone was warm and down to earth. It may have seemed insignificant to them, but it made my whole week.The food, as well, was exceptional. I had the kale salad to start (dressing was out of this world!) and then the parmesan crusted swordfish, which sat over potatoes in a tomato broth, and was fantastic. The dip for the bread service was also so so good; I anticipated asking to bring it home, but instead I ate it all lol. The menu was interesting, but classic, and as a pescatarian, I felt like I had many choices. I had two glasses of wine, but the bartender was making drinks that looked A+. Next time, I will def opt for a cocktail.We have lived a mile down the street from this place for almost 8 years, and can't believe it was my first time in. I have been missing out. My husband and I have always wished there were more nearby date spots, and I think we found it. We will be back many, many more times in the future!“

For instance, some of their pasta dishes (all house-made pasta) incorporate Japanese flavors in creative and smart ways that enhance the dish. The dishes were executed and plated beautifully. The portions are also very healthy for the price, and the bread course (warm homemade focaccia and sourdough with honey butter) was simply stellar. The front of house staff was warm, passionate, and knowledgeable on all facets of the food and drink program. Can’t say enough good things.“

Everyone was professional and made us comfortable to enjoy the time there.We had half shell oyster, steak tartar, and surf & turf. I would not say everything was outstanding, but great enough to satisfy various appetites.The issue was the steak; we ordered rare tenderloin since the non-fatty part is tend to be tender and better when served better for me. However, the steak came out as well done... Thankfully the server asked kitchen for another one, but the new one also came out to be well done... To be specific, there are two pieces which one of them was rare but the other one was well done. Manager came and apologized for what happened. Their response to what happened was great otherwise I would give them 2 or 3 start. I will definitely visit again soon and hopefully we don't face the same problem :)Parking: Park in the chestnut hill mallKid-friendliness: Not for kids“

Omakase Offering

“I could avoid writing this review to gate-keep this gem, but Chef Monaco deserves the praise for what he has created. Located in Lexington, Akame Nigiri and Sake is a humble six-seater with only two time slots per night (Thurs-Sat). For $180, you can get a 15-course omakase curated with delicacies sourced directly from Japan's Toyosu Fish Market. You can also add a sake pairing for an additional $70. One of the reasons Chef Monaco opened in Lexington is because it is easier and cheaper to get a liquor license, so I feel like the pairing would be worth it, but I had to pass this time since I was driving.The interior is inline with the untraditional angle that Akame goes for: the simple aesthetic and the seating around the bar where you can watch Chef Monaco work his magic are reminiscent of places in Japan, but the furniture, decor, and music are not. However, I personally don't care for the ambiance so long as it does not distract from the experience because the food is what I will remember at the end of the day. Plus, those seats were so comfy even if I'll never see them in a true Japanese restaurant, so I'm not mad.I enjoyed everything that I got to taste, but the standouts for me were:- Foie Gras-Spiced Rice Crispy Ginger Yuzu Macadamia Dark Chocolate: This was my absolute favorite because of the rice crispy, which is funny because that's not even fish. But man, that rice crispy was to die for. If Chef Monaco decides to convert Akame into a store selling only these rice crispy treats, I'd be his #1 customer. The chocolate was also very good.- Uni Sea Urchin-Rice Cracker Sichuan Pepper Corn Caviar: I was surprised by how much uni and caviar we were given. The uni was refreshingly chilled and so smooth and creamy.- Ibodai Butterfish-Ginger Vinegar Apple Honey Mustard: The fish was firmer, but I really liked the sweetness of the honey mustard.- Tairagi Pen Shell-Curry Tofu Pumpkin Seeds: Curry is something that I've never had with nigiri before, but the spices in the curry worked well.- A5 Wagyu-Seared Yuzu Kosho Egg Yolk Custard Nutritional Yeast Truffle: Fatty. Melted in your mouth. Delicious truffle. The nutritional yeast was interesting (in a good way).Honorable mentions:- Yuki Masu Snow Trout-Gooseberry Kiwi Aonori: The aonori added great depth as a garnish, and I liked its flaky form.- Hotate Sea Scallop-Gochujang Beet Salad Crispy Chickpea: The horse saddle style cut was so cute. The hotate was also so soft.- Hotaru Ika Firefly Squid-Chorizo Salad Sesame Seeds: The squid was also very cute... cute enough to eat. Juicy and lemony.This was the first time I've ever had Japanese without salmon or tuna, which I believe is part of what makes this place untraditional. But I didn't find myself missing them because each fish packed a unique flavor profile and texture. I also loved that there was a nutty crunch with most of the courses.The entire experience took about 1.5 hours. The pacing between courses was consistent. The meal was mostly quiet, but Chef Monaco was very friendly when we did talk. Shout out to the chef's brother who attentively refilled my water and ginger throughout the night.Overall, it was a delightful dinner, and I would be interested in coming back once the menu changes (but please keep the rice crispy treats... they have a chokehold on me).“

“My favorite dinner restaurant during my Boston trip, hands down. My girlfriend and I were looking for some good seafood before we left Boston, and we sure found it.This place has an open but cozy atmosphere. They have some beer choices on the wall, and you can see them shucking the oysters when you walk in. The beer selection was really good, and the oyster selection was even better. We ended up trying 5 different types of local oysters. The amount of horseradish in the cocktail sauce was amazing, and the mingnonette was spot on. All the oysters tasted good and fresh but my favorite was the Row 34.For main dishes, we split the monkfish and the scallops. The monkfish won this round for me. The mustard Spetzel with little pieces of chorizo was just the perfect pairing to the tender, flaky, and light monkfish. The scallops were extremely flavorful, and the sunchoke chips were nice with them, but the ultra bitterness of the chicories didn't compliment as well as the other dish. Still an amazing dish and a very generous portion of scallops.The sides we shared were also incredible. The goat cheese potatoes were out of this world. The flavor and creamy texture worked perfectly. The brussel sprouts were second to none. I've never had a sprout that had such flavor. Sweet and spicy and the bitterness of the sprout itself. I would come back for the sides alone.Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommendedParking: First spot in Boston I found street parking. Metered at times.“

“The food is good and probably better when it's eaten hot and fresh. I picked up my order a bit later than I wanted to so it got cold by the time I got home. Not their fault.The lobster roll trio was great and we think the truffle butter was the best. The spicy one wasn't spicy at all though and the lemon one was the least liked of the trio. The snow crab was great as well. They all had a lot of filling/meat for their size. The cole slaw was lemony. The blueberry lemonade has a strong honey flavor. Lobster grilled cheese was extremely filling and more than enough for 1 person. Overall, we were satisfied for lunch for 2ppl/$78 pretax.Knocked off 1 star due to the girl at the counter. The guy at the counter was initially helping me. The girl next to him grabbed it and put it on the counter very fast in a rude way. I don't think she purposely slammed it but it was still kind of rude. I said thanks anyways and only the guy smiled back.I will come back another day to try the lobster bisque and the Jonah crab roll.Downside: hard to find parking at back bay“

“Delicious! Came in on a cold Saturday afternoon (1pm) and sat at the bar. The decor and ambience are great, service was outstanding, and brunch/lunch was delicious! The home made rigatoni with sausage (half order) was rich and delightful - plenty filling and so tasty that we ordered a full order of the bolognese to enjoy for dinner. The Earth bowl salad with salmon was sooooo good too! I got the lime vinaigrette and cranberries on the side - glad I did because dressing wasn't really needed although quite tasty (zesty and fresh). Highly recommend this spot and can't wait to come back when it's warm to sit outside and enjoy the beach views.“

“Fantastic seafood and the friendliest staff. This isn’t a restaurant but the food they serve is very high quality. So far we’ve tried the grilled seared scallop dinner, grilled shrimp dinner, grilled salmon dinner and grilled haddock dinner which were delicious. Perfect amount of seasoning and doneness. Lobster rolls are good too. Crab cakes weren’t the best but that’s not what New England is known for so can’t hold it against them. Wish portion sizes were a little bigger (like the yummy rice pilaf and grilled veggies).“

“We booked a reservation for a Thursday night just a few hours before. We came in to what the hostess referred to as the best seat in the house - and it most definitely was. We were seated at a cute two person window at the corner of the restaurant. All the street facing walls are huge windows, giving a lovely view outside and likely a beautifully naturally lit atmosphere during the day. Outside the window next to us, we were able to see the street corner and the lights of the skyscrapers next to us.We started with the half seafood tower, absolutely devouring all the seafood they placed in front of us. Our lovely waiter let us know which oysters we were according to the name card they provided. I wish they gave us a tool to crack open the large lobster claw, but we got in there with a fork ? There was a lot of extra lobster meat hiding away in there!We also ordered the grilled Positano style octopus which came with an eggplant caponata and burrata which. Everything on this plate was absolute delicious. The burrata was so so good, that we ended up adding the burrata appetizer to our order.The burrata at this place just melts in your mouth and it tastes so fresh. The burrata appetizer came with a homemade tomato jam that paired so flawlessly.We also ordered the Pappardelle al Cinghiale which was made with wild boar, red wine, and porcini mushrooms. I was really craving a pasta dish with wide noodles so this menu item called out to me. The sauce was rich with lots of shredded wild boar meat and slices of mushroom.To wrap up the meal we had a deconstructed tiramisu which the server carefully poured the coffee liquor over and spread the mascarpone cream on top. We really loved this dish; the sponge cake was soft and the mascarpone cream was the perfect consistency.We also had an Italian Coffee and the Sicilian Coffee. They were cuter than I expected arriving in big glasses with whipped cream on top. We particularly loved the flavor of the amaretto which gave it a yummy almond taste.This was also a great place to enjoy a variety of Amaro. We ended up trying 3: a Sicilian amaro that was incredibly smooth, a powerful herbal amaro (which my boyfriend ended up loving even though I typically love the herbal ones), and one made from artichokes (which I found to be shockingly amazing).“

“Great noodles and soup dumplings. The hot soup was kept inside the dumpling, meaning the dumpling wrap was sturdy enough to keep everything in place. When I bit into the dumpling, the hot soup spilled out, which is exactly what you expect from a good soup dumpling restaurant! The pancake wrap was also really good and flavorful. This is place doesn't have too many parking spots nearby, but the food is worth taking public transportation and walking to.“

Although the restaurant isn't particularly large, during busier days, they may open the second floor to accommodate more customers. We were informed of a 20% gratuity charge and a 3% service fee, totaling 23% in tips. We were pleased with this, given the attentive and courteous service we received. I will certainly revisit this establishment; it's a fantastic spot for oysters. I highly recommend the "Island Creek" oysters, which have become my top choice based on my extensive oyster experience.“
