What Phuong Peter doesn't like about Boston Sail Loft:
We were put on a waitlist which was estimated 45 min. We got called about 1 hr 15 min later and they placed us right in front of the entrance. We weren’t asked if we wanted an indoor or outdoor seat. It was really busy. Food was subpar. I didn’t care for my fisherman platter. Couldn’t tell what was what with the breading. The only thing I liked with the clam chowder. Waitress wasn’t around much. Just took our order a... View all feedback. What Sophie Cleary likes about Boston Sail Loft:
Highly recommend Boston sail loft! It has hands down the best clam chowder and the seafood was so fresh! We went around peak dinner time on a Sunday and wait time was going to be an hour for 2 but bar seating is first come first serve! Great service would recommend making a trip out! Parking is hairy so we parked in a lot for $30 View all feedback.

Restaurant is small and fairly tight with a line out the door waiting for an empty table but the food is amazing. Clam chowder with dill is the best I ever had!
