Great Spot for a Casual Seafood Lunch!…read more I went here for a late birthday lunch with my partner because we were hungry for seafood Our waitress was super friendly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We were seated in a cozy booth, and I immediately noticed the fun decor--tons of license plates from different states, some with funny names or messages. It added a quirky, welcoming vibe that we really enjoyed. The atmosphere was good, but not too loud. I started with the clam chowder, and my partner had the lobster bisque--both were absolutely delicious. My chowder had a generous amount of fresh clams and was rich and flavorful, but it wasn't heavy fo my stomach. For my main dish, I had the blackened white fish with coleslaw and fried sweet potato. The lemon was the perfect touch on the fish, the coleslaw was super fresh, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and satisfying. Overall, we had a great time. I'd definitely recommend this place.

The service is top notch and if anyone notices that you need a refill they take care of you, even though they aren't your server. It feels like a family member is running the place and taking care to ensure a good meal and welcoming atmosphere. Boston's isn't a big restaurant so peak dining hours will probably mean a wait, but it's definitely worth it. Their New England Clam Chowder is silky smooth in the most luxurious way, filled with fresh meat and undoubtedly made from the finest ingredients. Several restaurants in NSB serve a good clam chowder but Boston's is my favorite. If you want to treat yourself get the bowl size serving but the cup size is a great starter choice. We visited twice during our one week stay. The first time I got fish and chips and the second time I got the 12 piece jumbo shrimp dinner with fries. Both times I chose the baked beans for a side. You can't go wrong with any choice but those beans are great. There's no way I can eat 12 shrimp so I always have the treat of a snack the next day. My husband got the blackened mahi mahi and said it was fantastic. The second time he also chose the 12 piece shrimp dinner but with coleslaw and onion rings! Take a look at the picture, the rings were terrific. I definitely prefer the thinner rings over the large ones that some places serve. Boston's is a must for visitors to NSB. The menu states that it's the best seafood in New Smyrna Beach and they certainly get my hearty recommendation.

Rolled in to the covered part of the outdoor patio with the pup in tow and were seated at a table in the corner. It was chilly outside and the heated towers and window covers were a welcome sight. We were greeted and welcomed by nearly everyone there (the pup is a cutie but still) and got a bucket of water for her and drinks for the humans. Service was friendly and personable and our waitress knew the menu well We had the turtle mound platter, steamed oysters, clams, shrimp (rock and pinks) and snow crab served with cocktail, horseradish, drawn butter and their version of old bay which was all delicious. We also had the steamed veggies with blue crab and cheese, we were kinda skeptical but it was awesome. The crab cake was also good, little filler and mostly crab and the dirty rice was well seasoned. It's a drive for us, but I think we will be back!

Took my friends from out of town for the 1st time. Great choices for appetizers, had the gator nuggets and lobster bites. Both were delicious and highly recommend. I tried Hogfish for the 1st time. .The crab spinach dip with homemade chips were fantastic.Perfectly prepared and Gouda grits were so Gouda! The tropical slaw was one of the best ever. My one friend had the Jonah crabs which surprisingly were difficult to crack and meat fell apart. Recommend getting a smaller sturdy fork. The other had the stuffed flounder which was excellent. Highly recommend this place, great food. Service and ocean view to boot. Also one of the few restaurants that take reservations. My neighbors feel more restaurants should allow locals to make reservations.

We're locals and decided to give it a try, for the amount of money we paid we left shaking our heads. Less than impressed with the food. The server was really nice, and the view.

The mahi-mahi was so dry and the tacos hardly had any flavor.

Sitting…read morethere with the ocean stretching out in front of you and the breeze coming off the water, it's easy to see why people keep coming back year after year. The food is exactly what great beach dining should be. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, it pairs perfectly with a cold drink. The service is always great too. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling rushed. There's a charm here that only comes from a place that has been part of the community for a long time. Locals love it, and vacationers seek it out because the atmosphere feels effortless and fun. You can walk right up from the beach, sandy feet and all, and feel completely comfortable. Relaxed, casual, and full of character, this is the perfect place for vacationers to unwind and enjoy good food with an unbeatable ocean view. It's absolutely worth experiencing at least once, and most people end up coming back.

They were all very good. I went to Chase's a few times. A couple times walking off the beach to have a beer at their beach bar that kind of dangles over the beach. There I met 2 excellent and attentive bartenders. Billy and Katie are great. Making sure everyone is aware of the specials with a quick wit and totally enjoying their jobs. I noticed that the food delivered to patrons around me looked really good. Good prices with a great view of the ocean. A great beach bar. Saturday night I came back for dinner at their inside restaurant. Excellent valet parking. Newly remodelled and bright upscale restaurant. Kayla was super friendly. My fish sandwich (sheepshead) was prepared perfectly with a good portion. We also had the bruschetta appetiser, it was also good. Service makes a restaurant great.

The drinks averaged about $13 a piece which is higher end but not bad for the view and the experience. We had lunch entrees - I had the surf and turf tacos which were just okay, a bit dry with lots of a seasoning. The ahi wontons looked really creatively prepared. Service from Gabrielle was decent - she did have a lot of tables to handle on a busy Saturday. With tip and tax and drinks, pricing average about $50 per person all in. While the restaurant does have a parking lot, it does get busy on weekends - We parked directly across the street at a dirt lot. I'd recommend, and certainly go back when looking for a fun hangout.

For the mains, the tender steak paired beautifully with cheese crumbles, while the fresh fish over creamy polenta and charred asparagus was rich and decadent. We topped it all off with a flawless crème brûlée featuring a perfectly shattered sugar crust. While the kitchen team is firing on all cylinders, your seating choice will entirely dictate your experience. The outside seating is lovely, relaxing, and wonderfully quiet--perfect for a peaceful dinner. However, the inside seating gets incredibly noisy and loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation. We highly recommend requesting a table on the patio to enjoy this phenomenal meal in the fresh air.
