Sail Loft Restaurant Reviews

Ate here twice this week. It s crowded and loud with the after work crowd - but still a good time. It s quieter on the weekends. Appetizers were good; service was great.

the clam chowder, Lobster was good. the chicken sandwich was ok

It's an ok restaurant, cannot make you say "Wow, this is good!".

Food was great, hospitality was amazing. We are so happy we went their to enjoy some tasty fresh seafood. Specials of the day are a bargain and everything was cooked to perfection. We highly recommend this place.

Looked like a great place, but it was short staffed, the waitress didn't pay attention to any of the tables and the broiled seafood platter was cold and tasteless. The clam chowder wasn't bad but I wouldn't go back.

The location is near the aquarium, cruises, and many other tourist attractions, including public parking nearby. It s always crowded, so be on the lookout for busy times as it is hard to have the view in peak hours. Overall, it's a good place with good food and affordable prices. Staff was very attentive and friendly as well.

This is a great place. No point in appitizers because the food comes so quickly. Great servers. I suggest the lobster salad roll. It's huge. Also the fried clam.

Nice view of the water. Fish n' chips were par. Just a taste of friend's chowder revealed it was a great call and should have been ordered directly. Service friendly, but slow and chaotic.

This is a very neat little place. I can totally see this place having a long history. The lobster roll was amazing. It had such large chunks of lobster in it that it looked true to the ads. The fry s were very tasty as well.

Pretty good fried seafood and staff was very nice. The view was worth it.

Total Boston experience for food...now that's a cup of overflowing chowder...delicious.

Had the blackened snapper and salad. Was awesome and seasoned to perfection

Menu is limited in variety but high on flavor. Clam chowder is a must. Cheeseburger club and Fish and Chips highly recommend.

Seafood was great, absolutely fresh and cooked to perfection. We had a table next to a window, gorgeous view. Mixed drinks were great as well. We had a perfect date night on our first trip to Boston. Would come back again.

We went for the chowder....but damn those lobster rolls were the best we had the whole trip ! I'd say try to the hot butter version, especially in these winter months, but can't go wrong either way.

It was brimming with lobster , nice thick chunks and not too much Mayo on the cold one.

The clam chowder is THICK and filling(share a cup), the dill is a great touch. Not the best we had but very very good nonetheless.

Great clam chowder. Haddock was pretty good. Lacking spices for creole or Cajun influences.

One of the best clam chowder you will ever have and the shrimp and fish was equally as tasty!! I will be back.....often !! Lol

Great location on the inlet. Enjoy great tasting seafood combination in a casual dining atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the owner is so welcoming.

Cajun shrimp, fish and chips, and anything lobster here is THE best!

I had the New England Clam Chowder. It was the best I've ever had and will definitely be going back for more when I go to Boston.

Good claim chowder....great service.....fast services. Worth the walk!

This place is right on the water. Oreos at the bar. Food is on point. Staff is great. Patio bar.

Great spot for the young crowd. Very popular bar in the summer. Patio is nice but very small. Decent food though there are definitely other better seafood spots to hit up. Known for free Oreos at the bar

Average restaurant without a special atmosphere ("harbor atmosphere"), but with delicious food. Fresh fish, which you can smell throughout the restaurant. Outstanding fries! However, not everyone gets the very greasy food (of course depending on the dish - here fish & chips).

Best clam chowder I've tasted. Will definitely come back if I ever visit Boston again.

Easy to walk to, good seafood. Bartender charged my dead phone for me while I ate!

Wings and service were very good. Nachos were not good. They used queso and that made the chips soggy and made everything too rich. I attached photos of the nachos halfway through eating them.

A little on the expensive side but that should be a given considering their location. Food was pretty good though, the only miss being the lobster ravioli. Really good fish and chips and some of the best fries I've had in the Boston area.

Seafood restaurant amazing view at the pier and very cozy setting.

Great seafood spot on the edge of the water. The lobster Mac and cheese is amazing!

Great place

Awesome food

Very cheap prices

The picture are of the Turkey sandwich and
Cajun Chicken Breast Sandwich

Those who have been to Cape Cod will appreciate the great view of the water. Pleasant atmosphere and a relaxed crowd/conversation will complement any evening very well. Highlights: New England Clam Chowder, Patio, Fish & Chips, Oreos at the Bar.

Went on Sunday 1pm and was seated immediately. Staff were very nice and attentive. Ordered the clam chowder cup and lobster mac and cheese. Clam chowder came out almost immediately and was perfect serving size. Seasoning was amazing and could taste the clams. Lobster mac and cheese was good for sharing and came out with a nice cheesy crust. They were generous with the lobster. Overall a very good well priced meal considering the quality and location. Would highly recommend for a nice casual meal!

4 years later and still the Best Chowder in New England

Great family place right on the water with great food and amazing service and staff. The owner Jimmy is a top notch guy that can point you in the right direction when visiting Boston. Extremely LEO & Veteran friendly. Must see.

Average food, bar staff not friendly to us - but we have kids, deck is veryvtiny but in a great location

Excellent attention, service and quality the food .Atttended us she is the best.

Amazing clam chowder. Reasonably proced compared to other places in the area. Good service.

Great food! The cup of chowder was out of this world. Fantastic service and pleasant time spent with the owner.

This place is awesome!! Everything was delicious. The portions were very large. The prices were very reasonable and the waitstaff was very friendly. It is right on the water making the location fun.

By far some of the best seafood I have had in my entire life. The scallops are light and full of flavor. The lobster was both very affordable (for lobster) and was cooked perfectly. The menu for people who may not like seafood was very good as well. The burger menu was far more robust than most other seafood places.

The service here is impeccable and the food is great, especially the chowder!

Seated for 6 in 10 minutes, served in 10 minutes. Food was excellent.

My family dined here often when I was a kid and I ve always cherished the good times we had at the sail loft! Great location, very good food!

Great chowder older place but decent food and super location

Loud busy but great service for large party. Food was soso

Pretty good portions, and tasty fish and chips plate

Good, fresh seafood. A cozy nautical atmosphere and a nice view of the water. Not touristy by any degree, and the prices are very approachable for the amount of food you receive. Older crowd and service could be more attentive, but our fish was cooked perfectly.

Fast and friendly service. The place can be pretty loud near the bar. It s a chill and casual hole in the wall.

Clam chowder was good and perfect temp

The owner came over and escorted us to a table near the window. Even though the restaurant was busy and the quoted wait time was 25-35 minutes, we were seated in less than 10 minutes. ..Partly because the owner was clearing tables, delivering food, welcoming guests..everything that needed to be done. IT WAS GENUINE AND AWESOME! He gave us some history on the restaurant..he has owned restaurant for 35 years; his two chefs have been with the restaurant for 33 years. The portions were huge; the seafood was fresh, service was great, AND the food was delicious!!

Great service..Chowder.
Delicious

This is my must stop for clam chowder every time I travel to Boston. Since 1988.

Nice low key place that doubles as a bar/restaurant. It's dabatable but...a lot of people I know so it's the best clam chowder in Boston! Check it out for yourself to see. Good fresh food with nice people working inside. Would definitely recommend.

The service was good but the food left much to be desired. Ordered a cheeseburger club, meat was gray, very unappetizing. The chowder was tasty, but way to thick. Fish and chips were soggy at best. Very disappointing.

The food is absolutely fantastic. Had a party of three and we all got very different dishes and everyone talked about them the rest of the trip. Still dreaming of eating here... this place rocks!!

The clam chowder was some of the best we've ever had. Delicious! Mussels and shrimp cocktail were also very good. Highly recommend

Such a great dinner spot! I waited 15-20 minutes for a table on a Saturday evening, which didn't seem too long compared to other restaurants in the area at the time. The service was excellent and the haddock dinner was super fresh and tasty. Some dishes can be a bit pricey, but there are plenty of options that are more budget-friendly and just as delicious.

Went here twice whilst visiting Boston and was blown away with the lobster rolls. Seriously amazing I can't recommend them enough!

Went at night not a great place for cocktails was a little dingy but would be a perfect spot for some day drinking on a nice day

Excellent clam chowder and seafood. Service was fantastic and the atmoshere was great.
