    Clam chowder!
    Lisa T.

    Definitely do not hesitate to eat here! First the service was excellent! It's a tight fit inside with lots of fun liscense plates to look at and the menu is huge! It was so hard to decide! The salads all look so good it was so hard to decide! I forget the name of the one i finally chose and it was delicious! Look at my picture and just point the server Will know! The lobster bisque wasn't was good but we ended up liking the clam chowder more. The fish pasta was full of lots of fish! Very good. The lobster roll was warm and it was a ton of meat!! Cooked to perfection and fresh! No stinky fish smell! Local on tap beers and Guinness on tap. Definitely will be back to try more menu options! It's a lot of food!!

    Always amazing! Great food, awesome service. Everyone in our group is always happy we love the fried clams. We are from Boston so we absolutely love this place! When I'm missing home this is where I come.

    Stopped for fish and chips. Nowhere in New England would you find the fish nuggets that were served to me. Fish was mushy and batter was bland. Fries were fine but the onion rings again were bland with no seasoning in the batter. Service was friendly and efficient and portions are great. Has the Cape vibe going on in the dining room. Wasn't impressed. (FYI I'm a Boston Native).

    My friend and I were looking for a seafood place to hang out for a late lunch. After doing a quick Google search, found the Boston's Fish House in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I had the shrimp wrap with sweet potato fries (which were yummy). The wrap was stuffed with moist, fresh shrimp along with lettuce and celery. So good. My friend had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich with fries and she said it was delicious! The service was fine. The restaurant itself has a laid back vibe. There is outdoor setting where your furry companions can hang out with you!

    Not a chain for sure. That was my worry boring chain food. But the clam chowder and linguini I had were anything but boring. They have Guinness on tap.

    Got to meet up with some friends for lunch at a place we both had on our radar, Boston's Fish House in New Smyrna Beach. The vibe is New England and the food definitely reflects that part of the country. We did an order of Ipswich Whole Clams while a couple of us decided on the Lobstah Rolls with onion rings and a cup of Chowdah!!! Food...excellent. The chowder was thick, rich, and creamy just like home. We had not ordered chowder initially until we saw a cup delivered to another table. The lobster rolls were loaded with tender claw and tail meat, just the right amount of mayo, and more importantly on a Nissen grilled bun. Also tried the clams...great flavor and the bellies were full of Ipswich goodness...LOL. Overall you felt like you were back in New England enjoying seafood in a small coastal shanty. Our server Susannah took excellent care of us and didn't bother us while we chatted and caught up well after the plates were cleared.

    We came back to Boston's and were so excited to see that at 1 pm on a Saturday (holiday weekend!), that they were slow! Indeed, we were seated almost immediately. Unfortunately, that is where their efficiency ends. We waited so long on a server (they kept walking on by) that we had to ask the hostess to please send someone. Eventually, the server arrived without so much a mention as an apology for her delay. She wakes by us multiple times without even a glance. This place is small, so she definitely saw us. We had to ask 2-3 times for each thing we needed. (Lemons and cocktail sauce?). We had to flag her down multiple times. As someone who has worked in restaurants for years, her inefficiency to me signals "new server" or "I don't know how to do this well". The food was... different. Heavy batter on the shrimp, no salt or other seasoning at all to the batter. The broccoli salad was mildly seasoned but the cole slaw had absolutely no flavor at all. Everything was.. bland (in comparison to our last visit a year ago). I don't know if it's new owners, but this was a disappointing change in one of our absolute favorites places to eat while at NSB. I hope the next time we come over from Orlando that it has improved much more. Would be a shame to cut this place out. In fairness, this server seemed to be the only one working inefficiently. One off day after years of great food isn't enough to drive by. Stop in!!

    Fresh food, great service, good portions! We stopped in here for fresh fish on our way home from the beach and everything was 10/10! Will def go back!

    Cute little local fish house. I visited after a morning at the beach. I just got a cup of the lobster bisque and it was delish. It was creamy and had little bits of lobster in it. The staff was friendly. My friend ordered the lobster bisque and a lobster roll. She enjoyed it. I'd visit again. I need to try more things on their menu. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom. It could use some sprucing up.

    The best fried shrimp ever!

It was all decorated up for Easter Sunday which is tomorrow. The serves was great, we were greeted right away and sat right away. They filled our waters and brought us the bread to start and gave us time to look at the menu. We started with fried ravioli, pear and Gorgonzola salad, and the the glazed Brussels sprouts. The salad was a little small for the price but the taste was great! The Brussel sprouts were delicious and well glazed. Then the fried ravioli were really good filled with a mix of cheese that was delicious and a side of marinara. They were all great and were great to share! Then for the mains we ordered the Gnocchi, gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and were cooked perfectly! Both sauces were delicious and tasted like they were made in house. I ordered the pasta allá puttanesca and it was great. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly and it had two types of olives and crushed tomatoes and was perfect. Then other people ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and the capricciosa pizza which were both great. We tried the tiramisu to finish off the dinner and it was some great desert. It was definitely made in house and was delicious. The service was great as it was very busy and the staff handled all of our needs and flipped tables very quickly around us. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great Italian meal.

    10/10! Amazing food. Loved everything we ate and would highly recommend. Will be coming back again!read more

And the very dim lights make it hard to see the food and the menu. I've had better black beans . The Sweet Plantains. They're not sweet if you char them black. They're supposed to be cooked or sautéed in oil or butter sprinkle some sugar on them to create a Glaze. Pulled pork was dry Unacceptable. I usually give it 5 stars but this time it was a dissapointment.
