Needed a snack and beverage after seeing a few Tall Ships. We got seated on the rooftop deck on the day of the smoke-covered sky--surreal but also beautiful. Catherine was our server--she was very nice. We had a Suncruiser, the calamari, and a Tiki mocktail (very tasty) before heading out for a water taxi ride. Most folks were inside at the bar watching the Workd Cup bit the roof deck was delightful. read more

This place has soo much going for it, but it doesn't quite have it all figured out. We had a reservation for 7pm, didn't get seated until 7:25ish which is so fine. We got a great seat, it was a warm sunny summer day in Boston, all is well. The service here is soooo slow. It took 1.5 hours for us to get our food. Obviously this happens sometimes, places have their off day, but our friend had gone 2 nights prior with her friends from work and it took them 2 hours to get their food just 2 days before. It was particularly interesting because the night we went wasn't even thaaat busy. Like there were people there, but there were open tables and the bar area wasn't packed with people or anything. The food was good, but nothing spectacular for the price. The best part is the location, vibes, and view. read more

Came here late night to watch the end of the sad US World Cup game. It wasn't super busy, but had a good vibe. Drinks were good and the food was too! I really liked their take on chowder, and the rolls with the specialty butter were so rich and delicious. Nice place with a good view, and I'm sure it gets fun and super busy at certain weekends! read more

My wife, a friend of ours and I were visiting 7/13 for a cruise on the Liberty Clipper and to see the other tall ships, and we stopped in for a late lunch. It took a while for our round of drinks to arrive, and then our server never came back to our table. After more than an hour waiting, and watching other patrons who were seated after us get their meals, we asked another server to check on ours and were told it would be another 5 minutes. We waited at least another 15 or so, and asked for the check for the drinks. No one apologized, and the entire staff just seemed indifferent. I can't say anything about the food, because we were never got it, but the service was among the poorest we have ever received. read more

This place has beautiful views and great service. However, the food is very expensive and mediocre. The cocktails also aren't that great. It also can get very crowded in the bottom area on nice evenings, so it's almost better to go when the weather is so so and sit upstairs. read more

Food is wonderful; the martinis are fabulous! Super excited to watch the Tall Ships parade from Pier 6 on Saturday morning- ticket prices go towards food and drinks which will be great for morning mimosas with the in-laws - especially where other restaurants are charging seating fees and not applying the fee toward a meal. Views will be the best from Pier 6! read more

So glad this restaurant was suggested. Great water location, enjoyed watching the sailboats, and the breeze was incredible. Inside seating is not handicap friendly, must be about to navigate stairs. No one in our party complained about their food. My only little concern was my toast was burnt. Luckily, i was able to eat around it. Should I be in the area again, I would dine here. read more

Took the ferry here for a snack and some great views of the city by the water. We started with the mezze plate to share, which had tasty fried pita with zaatar seasoning and dips. I had the clam and corn chowder, which was a bit pricey but a pretty filling portion. It tasted fresh and had a good amount of clams, bacon, potatoes and corn - not too thick or thin, but was lacking some depth in flavor. Service was generally good, I think the food runner was new and he brought over food 4x that was not ours. Server was great about thoughtfully splitting our bill. Ambiance was lovely - it was a beautiful day and we got a nice sea breeze. Would return here for drinks and snacks on the water again. read more

Was visiting Boston and was near this restaurant so thought I'd give it a try. Don't bother! Half the staff is completely clueless and has no idea what they're doing. Witnessed maybe a manager (she was dressed in a tie dye shirt and shorts) in an argument with a patron yelling at her, then after they left was loudly complaining about the patron with her staff. Saying she'd "put her to the ground" next time. I would have left before o got my food but there was nothing else close by. It's very sad because this place has beautiful views of the harbor read more

I booked a reservation for Saturday July 11th for lunch to see the tall ships. I booked it over a month in advance, as I have family coming into town for the event. I got a call 5 days before saying they now require a $150/minimum per person. I have a 7 year old with me. I'm like, so I have to pay $150 for a plate of fries for my 7 year old? She said yes. When I asked to speak with the owner she wouldn't let me. Will never go there again. What a disgrace. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. First you have to take this little walk to get there and the views are amazing so it's already a Vibe getting to where you're going to eat. Then the view in there is so beautiful you can see all of the city and it's right on top of the water. Everyone there is so kind and works as a team, the food is really good. read more

I can't believe that my daughter in law got a call this afternoon about our reservation for this Saturday for lunch and they told her they decided to have a $150 per person at the table for 4! Not impressed and a lot of money for a family of 4. Would have been nice to see the Tall Ships but not at that price read more

Go find out. Do not bother making a reservation. They will book it at the same time you make the call.

Pier 6 has a million-dollar view -- and about a five-dollar kitchen. Honestly, that skyline might be the only thing keeping the place afloat (literally and figuratively). We've been here a few times, mostly because the view tricks you into thinking, "This time will be better!" Spoiler: it never is. But like a toxic relationship with a great backdrop, we keep coming back. The restaurant was practically empty, yet somehow the staff still managed to act like they were juggling a Saturday night rush at the North End. Our server was the bright spot -- relatively attentive -- but when we asked the bartender herself for a refill, she gave us a look like we'd just asked her to rewrite the wine list. "I'll get your server," she said, and off she went... which was confusing, since, well, she's the bartender. Then came the cod -- and let's just say if fish were priced by the ounce, this one might've been worth about $6.50. The "roasted" cauliflower on the side was ice cold, so I guess technically it was a chill-grilled veggie medley. We tried to flag someone down for some oil & vinegar, but the staff seemed to be deep in a group therapy session at the bar, chatting about their personal lives while making direct eye contact with us... and still doing absolutely nothing. In the end, we laughed about it -- because if you don't laugh, you'll cry over your cold cauliflower. Pier 6, you've still got the view, but the rest is floundering. We'll probably come back, though... for the sunset, the Boston Skyline, and the eternal hope that one day both the cauliflower and the service will be warm. read more

Absolutely one of the better burgers in Boston. Also fries (ask for extra crispy), wings, fish tacos are great. Best view of Boston from Boston. read more

Went with a friend who lives near it and a perfect place to meet with friends. The location is right on the water and the view of Boston is great during the day and even better at night. They have a menu with great choices. I had a big cup of the clam and corn chowder which was a great start. They have a choice of cold or hot lobster rolls, and I chose hot. It was delicious. The service by Shirley was outstanding. It's a definite stop when in Charlestown. read more

This was my 4th time here, so obviously I absolutely love this place!! It's my to-go place whenever I have guests over visiting me in Boston. First off I love their views of Harbor on all windows! Secondly, they are always able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. They have lots of seafood on the menu including starters! I love their grilled salmon, and I often order their cheeseburger minus the meat patty and instead get a grilled salmon added. In the past, I've added fried fish to the burger as well. Though this combo is not on the menu but they accommodate it and adjust the price in it. My son is a picky eater, but he absolutely loves their creamy mashed potato, so I always get it on a side! But they have a nice kids menu too and have small salmon on kids menu too! They can make great non-alcoholic mocktails too, so you will never feel left out when you're there with friends who drink! read more

We had good service; the waiters weren't bothered when we asked to be moved from the top deck to a covered area due to the sun/heat. The food was good and came out at a reasonable time. Oysters were a bit expensive compared to other places in the area ($4 each). Overall, a great place for lunch with friends. read more

Fried calamari garnished with a few hot peppers, marinara and lemon. A home run! This has been the tastiest calamari I've had ever. The delicacy of the fish comes through with its nice light batter the right and the calamari melted in my mouth. Worth it to have on the table to be shared. Plenty of rings and tentacles. smoked salmon Benedict was really delicious with eggs delicately poached, the fresh salmon, the salad and the holiday and home fries make it a really delicious meal. my friend liked the avocado, toast and ordered scrambled eggs to go with it. I recommend this place. A limited menu, but mindfully prepared. Delicious. Server: Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. Our server was efficient, polite and made our meal more enjoyable. She went out of her way to make sure our food was cooked the way we had asked. The views from Pier 6 has a gorgeous view of the Boston skyline looking across the harbor. Sometimes places that have the view have food that is subpar. Pier 6 brings both of these elements to their business and I hope they continue to do this. I recommend Pier 6, worth trying. read more

Great dinner spot to watch the sunset. Food is reasonably good too, with a broad range of items on the menu to keep things interesting. We ordered the mezze dip with zaatar chips and Malaysian wings as starters. (Don't expect authenticity! But I enjoyed both.) Lots of seafood options as you'd expect at a dockside restaurant, with some vegetarian and meat proteins on offer as well. We shared a seafood fra diavolo linguini and broccolini side, and a lobster roll on a healthily-sized platter of salad and sweet potato fries. Our server was great - quick service, very accommodating. And if you're nervous about the Charlestown parking situation, don't be. There's a parking lot in the building across the restaurant, and my friends and I lucked out in getting cheap metered on-street spots (downside is that it's only good for 2 hours till 8pm.) read more

90s brunch- so fun! It was a cold and rainy day so we didn't get the full experience of the outside. We got to sit on the side covered area past the bar which was nice. Our server was wonderful. He was helpful answering questions and very approving of our choices which was cute. The espresso martinis and day trippers were delicious! The food was also incredible. I ordered the smoke salmon Benny that was perfect. Our group also got the French toast and lobster omelette with fries. The crab cake was fantastic as well! I'd come back here for sure and spend more time at the outdoor bar downstairs. read more

A Hidden Gem with Incredible Views and Even Better Service! My boyfriend and I stopped by Pier 6 on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our week. The waterfront view is absolutely stunning--truly one of the best spots in Boston to relax and take in the harbor. The food and drinks were excellent--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. What really stood out, though, was the service. Lee, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. You can tell they really care about the guest experience. And Jimmy, our bartender, was a total pro--friendly, fast, and made some of the best cocktails we've had in the city. We'll definitely be coming back soon. This place strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and special, and it's clear the team there puts their heart into what they do. read more

I dined here on a Saturday evening and had a good experience. I sat in the outdoor roof section, which is first come first served seating style. There is no covering for shade but the two tables nearest the door get a little bit of shade from the building. The views of the water are so lovely from here. I got the frozen watermelon drink and it was delicious. For good I got the goat cheese salad and the fried calamari. I really enjoyed the salad and the calamari was so good. I didn't love the fried peppers they combined with the calamari serving. I also tried the fish tacos and those were very tasty. This was a great dinner overall. I had a confusing experience at the just stand and the prices were a bit high, but looking past those things I still loved it here. read more

Beautiful location, wonderful service, and delicious food, oh my! What else could you ask for? Hostess was nice and offered us either a high or low table. Opting for a high table we got seated in the corner overlooking the gorgeous view of the water and city sky line. There's a full bar and lots of cocktails available to pick from varying in really sweet to slightly salty. We tried their Royale Spritz, Watermelon Frosé, Fizz what it is, and cucumber martini. Our favorite was definitely the frose which is perfect for the warm weather approaching. We shared an order of steamed mussels with fluffy and soft focaccia bread. These were the biggest mussels I've ever seen before and they were great! I loved that there was enough bread to soak up all the sauce. The Pier 6 burger was juicy and salty with fresh butter lettuce, tomato slice and red onions. I do wish there was more than the small dollop of thousand island dressing however. Fries were perfect pairing. I requested for the seafood fra diavlo to be spicy and they kindly obliged. I got even more of the plump mussels with two fresh shrimps on top. The sirloin was hugee and heavily salted and peppered. It doesn't come with any sides but given how large it is I don't think you need one. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. They even had outdoor seating and en extra bar on the pier so you can get an even better view. I would love to come back here and recommend others to check them out! read more

I really love the view from Pier 6 the food was exceptionally good and fresh in the upstairs dining. There is a roof deck, but I recommend that people make reservationsbeforehand. There's also a bar downstairs alfresco. There's a lot of families, dates,neighbors, groups of people in this location as a fun festive laid-back environment. I enjoyed my oysters, tuna tartare, beet salad, halibut tacos. The mussels are to die for! Service was very friendly highly recommend. read more

A work dinner was held here, the view is lovely and seems great for happy hour vibes at the outside bars. It is a fairly large place with a dedicated lot, reservations are recommended.

I would visit again and take in more of the views and cocktails read more

Reservation app is not good. Many diners were upset because there weren't seats available. We had explicitly requested inside and noted we had a toddler and the host did not show any of that ...and we would have to wait 40-60 minutes for an I side table for 4. We noticed 2 tables for 2 opened and asked if we could do that. They agreed. Stressful. Then 2 kind ladies said they would have their after dinner drinks at the bar and we could use their table to put together for table of 4. We ordered quickly, and was surprised that they brought the soup and appetizers with dinners. It should have been served separately. Clam chowder was ok. The mussels huge portion, nice broth, unfortunately the mussels were huge ...we ate only half. Fish and chips and lister Mac n cheese were great. Green beans lakes flavor and were tough to eat. read more

Pier 6 recently changed to a "service dogs only" policy after allowing dogs on the outdoor patio for the past few summers. Instead of publicizing this change or posting signs so that people would know not to bring pets anymore, the staff is openly harassing people with dogs. This harassment includes having multiple staff members interrogate dog owners about the nature of their disability and other prying questions. This is an ADA complaint waiting to happen, and a deeply unpleasant and upsetting experience for myself and several other neighbors who have spent years bringing our dogs to this patio (some of which are actually service dogs!) read more

Empty bar, except for two beer drinkers. My husband asked for a tequila and soda with a lime. .... The bartender explained to us that there was no cut fruit because the bar back hasn't arrived yet. (We had a fried calamari app that had lemon wedges). . So the bartender was a real go getter. I should have offered to show him how to cut a piece of fruit for an $18 cocktail. Did I mention that there were 3 other employees hanging around the hostess station. read more

This place has the potential to be great and continues to disappoint. Luckily a lot of the issues seem like training issues so hopefully they are solvable. Let's start with the waitstaff - I felt like I walked into the halls of a judgy high school. They were all young and very stand-offish. I felt myself trying to be overly nice so that THEY would like ME, instead of the other way around. It was uncomfortable from the hostess stand to my waitress. The food and drinks were also disappointing. It was the worst painkiller I have ever had, and the tuna Tartar was tasteless. The only saving grace was that the fried calamari was actually really good. So why come here? The view. The view really is stunning and it's a cool spot in the navy yard. I would probably come back again and get the calamari and maybe a glass of wine, and I have my fingers crossed that they will address the rest of their issues. read more

This place had all the cool Sunday vibes if you want to just chill out and and enjoy the water views. Service was a bit slow so pack your patience bc the place is small and everything is prepared fresh. We were looking for a quick bite before heading off to the airport, particularly feeling for a yummy bowl of clam chowda. We ordered the lobster roll and clam chowder and the roll was meh...not the best but still pretty satisfying. Now let's get to the chowder...delicious. Packed full of clams, not too much thickener. Just what I was looking for. Check out the pic and decide for yourself. I just wish this app had a scratch and sniff mode. It was sooooo yummy. read more

Came around lunch on a Thursday. Not too bad of a wait. Got the warm lobster roll and wasn't overly impressed and definitely don't think its worth the price. When your salad and fries take up more of your place than the supposedly star of the dish lobster roll, then you know its not worth it. I think if you're eating at this place, its because of the view and ambiance. Not sure if I'll come back again. read more
