This spot has been on my "I should try that someday" list for a few years, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally made it in. The first thing that surprised me was how much seating they offer. The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

My husband enjoyed the Margherita pizza with buffalo mozzarella and the Zucchini /squash blossom pizza was excellent! We also got a huge sourdough to go (2nd place winner in a bread competition), a blueberry muffin which was full of blueberries not too dry or oily, a coffee cake that my husband said wasn't bad and a brownie that he liked. The cornmeal honey cookie had a strange sour taste I didn't like. I also had an Oatly oatmilk cappuccino which was pretty strong (I think I'd ask for a single shot next time) because I like the small size. They use Fazenda beans.

I went to the Bowery the other night for drinks with my wife. We were hoping to watch the Bruins game inside but the bar was packed, so we went out to their patio. It was a little chilly out but they had heaters out there to warm us up. My wife loved that. Their patio is awesome - tons of space and a cool atmosphere. There is something for everyone out there. The lounge area at the top is really cool, especially if you are looking to have some great cocktails while chilling out with your friends. The cocktail were actually amazing, I had a few different ones but the best one was Two 4 Flinching. I could have drank a dozen of them but I had to be a functioning person the next day. Our bartender was Kerry, she was fantastic. She was quick to get to us, very friendly and took care of us all night. She is one of the best bartenders I have ever dealt with and I've been going to bars for a very long time! I can't wait to try the food there. The menu looks phenomenal, lots of great choices. I am usually a chicken parm type of guy and try nothing else, but I am going to come back to try the Rigatoni Fredo - that dish sounds delicious. This spot is a hidden gem in the city of Boston, a must visit for anyone who likes good drinks, good food and good vibes! read more

Per request of 8 year old son, we are leaving a "5 Star" review! Today was our first time and we will definitely be back. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, traditional Boston look and feel. We opted for the back patio which was also beautiful. More than beautiful. Service was great (we had Danielle). There was corn hole on the patio so of course we had to play while waiting for our food. Food was bomb- I had lobstah mac n cheese and my son had chicken fingers n fries. He asked me to "save this place on your map" so we could come back again. read more

The space is beautiful--very bright, airy, and modern, while still feeling comfortable enough for breakfast with a little one. I ordered the avocado toast and appreciated that they were happy to substitute sourdough for the multigrain listed on the menu. Avocado toast is obviously a pretty common breakfast dish, but the pickled onions were a nice touch and gave it a little something extra. Hubs ordered the Spanish omelet, which was HUGE and very filling. Our toddler may have been the happiest of all with her strawberry and banana smoothie!

They were kind, attentive, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Service was easily the highlight of the experience and a definite 5 out of 5. The restaurant itself is small inside with a much larger outdoor seating area. We chose to sit outside, but don't expect waterfront views because you actually can't see the bay from the patio. I started with a virgin piña colada, and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best things I had. For food, I ordered the lobster sliders. Unfortunately, they were pretty lackluster. They were served with cold lobster on mini Hawaiian style rolls with shredded lettuce and no sauce to tie everything together. Honestly, I would have much preferred a traditional lobster roll. I also tried the crab cakes. They had decent flavor, but if you're used to steakhouse style lump crab cakes packed with crab meat and served with an amazing aioli, these will probably disappoint. There was noticeably more filler and breadcrumbs than crab, which wasn't what I was hoping for. My sister ordered mozzarella sticks and a burger and fries, and she enjoyed her meal. Overall, I'd call Chantey at Marina a solid mid tier restaurant. The service was exceptional, but the food just didn't live up to the location or my expectations. I actually ended up here because Bay Pointe was closed, and unfortunately, this didn't become a new favorite. Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Will I return? Probably not.
