Amazing service and food! The manager came out after I told our server Daniel who is soooo nice and attentive that they take allergies very seriously and would make sure there is no contamination! The scrod which is a fish I never heard of was really good. They don’t use a lot of salt which is perfect for me since most places over salt and kills the flavor of the food. The clam chowder is amazing too!

Seafood spot on the water with cozy vibes, and possibly the best clam chowder ever. Went here with the family on a Tuesday, sat down at a 4 top near the window right away. Kids got basics - grilled cheese and Mac and cheese, and they were happy. Our fried clam appetizer was probably the one thing I could have skipped - it was fine but nothing special, and expensive. Bowl of clam chowder was the standout - creamy but not too heavy, herby, full of clams and potatoes. It was honestly perfect. This is exactly what is needed when it’s 30 degrees outside. My wife got the fish and chips, and I got a halibut/lobster special. Both of our meals were great. I feel that beer batter tempura fish is the ultimate way to do fish and chips, and although this isn’t that it was still pretty good. The halibut was well cooked, flaky, juicy, and the lobster sauce of course kicked it up a notch. I hear the lobster rolls here are good as well, but we didn’t try it today. Can’t go wrong here I believe.

Tried a bunch of clam chowders around the area and this is definitely the best! We got there at 11:20 to be first in line. 12 people walked in at 11:30 opening and by 12:15 it was full. I ordered the clam chowder and fish and chips and I was delighted with both! I had a hard time finishing Paulis and Union Oyster House clam chowder but I was left wanting more at Sail Loft. The fish for fish and chips were really fresh but also a bit hard to eat since they just fall apart. Everybody at our table was happy with what they ordered, and I can confidently say that I had my best meal in Boston at Sail Loft during my short 3 day stay. Service is barely ok.

Long wait time, no reservations, delicious food. A Boston staple. Onion rings are incredible. Loved the calamari. Lobster roll was hefty for the price. Felt like the prices were very reasonable. Clam chowder was amazing, but definitely felt very heavy.

We were at the aquarium, and I looked for a casual place close by with good reviews. Boston Sail fit that bill. Right from the door, the gentleman who found us a table was very personable; we felt comfortable right away. The servers provided great, quick service, and I had one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. There was so much lobster meat, I'd guess 1/2 pound or more. The cup of clam chowder was a little thick for me and lukewarm. The taste was amazing, though. My wife loved the buffalo shrimp wrap; she said it was great. Both my kids had chicken fingers with a bunch of fries. They were happy and are normally very picky eaters, but they loved these. The view of the harbor is awesome also. Prices are what you'd expect in Boston. I don't mind paying as long as it's worth it. The bill with a 20% tip came to $135.10.

It's a pretty tight space, and there's usually a wait, but you expect that of a place that's good to eat at. Nice views of the harbor, the wait is well organized. We were able to leave and return when they texted that a table was ready. We ordered clam chowder and the sauté seafood portifino... the chowder was good and the cups and bowls were overflowing... the bowl is only $0.75 more than the cup, so that was an easy decision for me. The Seafood Portofino was $40, but it had a lot of seafood for that price... at least 6 lobster claws and at least 3 good sized shrimp and at least 3 good sized scallops... no skimping there. The white wine sauté was pretty heavy on the salt and it actually masked the taste of the seafood slightly, but that's pretty nitpicky... overall it was great food at a very reasonable price for what we got. Will definitely be back

We were on the hunt for great seafood and a solid lobster roll when we stumbled upon Boston Sail Loft, and it turned out to be a fantastic find. After a brief wait, we were seated at a table with a beautiful view, which set the tone for the meal. Alex C. took wonderful care of us and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The mussels and calamari were excellent, and the chowder was rich, comforting, and unforgettable. Dunking the mussels into the buttery broth was pure bliss. The lobster roll was packed with tender, sweet meat and bursting with flavor. An absolutely satisfying seafood dinner from start to finish.

We had the opportunity to visit Boston and this place was recommended by Google Gemini and it did not disappoint. I tried the lobster roll and it was extremely delicious. The clam chowder was savory and hit the spot. The butter that came with the lobster roll was perfect and gave the lobster really great flavor. The appetizer that we got was also delicious. The fried shrimp and the fried calamari were fried to perfection and the buffalo chicken was delicious. It wasn't that spicy and was tangy. Overall, really enjoyed the place.

This is without a doubt a must-visit spot when you’re in Boston and craving authentic New England seafood. The New England clam chowder was outstanding—thick, velvety, and deeply flavorful, with a perfect balance of creaminess and briny clam flavor, generously filled with tender clams and soft potatoes. The lobster roll was exceptional, overflowing with fresh, sweet lobster meat that tasted incredibly clean and ocean-fresh, lightly coated so nothing masked the natural flavor, and served on a warm, buttery, perfectly toasted roll. The fish and chips were equally impressive: the fish had a golden, ultra-crispy batter that shattered with each bite, revealing moist, flaky white fish inside, while the fries were hot, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being greasy. Everything arrived quickly and piping hot despite how busy it was, which speaks volumes about the kitchen. The place gets very crowded, so expect a wait, but the quality, freshness, and execution of the food make it completely worth it.
