Fishbones lived up to my friends’ recommendation. I went with a group, and we all enjoyed the experience for a fun late lunch, since I guess it can be crowded and often waits at dinner. I gotta say, the drinks were way above average. Very creative, as was the food. The menu got me. Lots of items that sounded delicious, so it was hard to decide which one to order. Highly recommend.

Moving reviews off Yelp and this was originally published in 2016:
I’ve got to admit that I’ve eaten really well on this business trip even if it started out looking like it was going to be a culinary train wreck. A subset of the group I’ve been dining with all week went to Fishbones for our last dinner in town and I absolutely loved the place. It is located in the center of what I took to be their historic downtown area. It was a beautiful evening when we arrived so we decided to dine on their patio and thoroughly enjoy being outside after spending most of the work week cooped-up inside a classroom being slowly poisoned by well over 1,000 powerpoint slides.
First up was the crab cake that I ordered to pass around. Very, very little filler made for a really great version of this east coast classic. I also liked the amount of searing present as it added both a flavor and a texture I don’t generally see on a crab cake but really enjoyed. The crab cake was tender and sweet on the inside but slightly crispy on outside and the combination really worked for me. There was a small salad on the side and a sauce of some sort – both were quite good but way overshadowed by the crab cake. Seriously delicious!
For an entree, I took the waitress’ suggestion and ordered the Mediterranean seafood over fresh pasta. The dish included large shrimp, big chunks of lobster, scallops, house-cooked artichoke hearts, red peppers and a few olives. All of that was tossed with a butter sauce and feta before being ladled over a pile of tender linguine. It truly was perfection in a bowl!
I snagged a bite of the apple crisp – talk about fall on a spoon! Creamy, rich ice cream atop a warm concoction of apples and oats. What a great bite! Perhaps even more impressive was the berry sorbet. I don’t know what they did to it to make it so creamy but I asked the waitress just to verify that it wasn’t a dairy base. Nope – it’s just that good as a sorbet. Wow!

We had such a fun family night out! Splurged and got the Alaskan King Crab, they were delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our server, Lauren, was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend this gem tucked in Chelmsford center!

Very frustrating restaurant experience. First of all, it is very difficult to find this location at night even with GPS. Parking is in the back and the entrance is a tiny road that is easy to miss. If you miss it like we did, you can only go far to get around and come back which took another 10 minutes to finally find the poorly lit parking lot.
Once inside we were told there would be a 45 minute wait and took our number to be put on the waiting list. Fine. It was a Saturday night and they don’t take reservations. While we were waiting people started coming in saying that they had reservations and were seated ahead of us. What? No where do they say they take reservations !Frustrated I asked the front desk and was told I took us off the waiting list on my phone! OMG!
We were finally seated an hour and 10 minutes later and the staff didn’t seem to care about what we went through.
Our server was wonderful and efficient and friendly. The clam chowder was great, the teriyaki salmon was done perfectly, and the seafood sauté was just ok because the pasta was gummy.
Sadly I cannot recommend this place unless they change their policy and their attitude.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and we were very impressed. I have been told this place is always busy at night and now I know why…
Service was excellent, we had two servers who worked together fabulously. Very attentive, fun and helpful.
Drinks came first – everyone had something and they were all delicious. Great bartending!
We had the shrimp cocktail and oysters to start. Very tasty – huge shrimp, (an oxymoron) plenty of horse radish in the sauce.
All of our entrée’s were beautifully presented and more importantly scrumptious. My salad was awesome, just awesome. All five of us were very happy.
Lunch ended with a couple of deserts and drinks. We were not disappointed.
I look forward to my next visit!

The service was excellent. Didn’t feel rushed. The food was superb. Very creative menu not your usual. The sauteed flounder was great as was my friend’s swordfish. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing. It’s noisy because everything is hard surfaces and because they have a long bar. If noise doesn’t bother you it’s a wonderful place to have dinner.

This is one of our favorite spots. We usually sit at the bar but the bar was full so we opted for a table. Our dining experience was so nice thanks to Nina. She did a great job of being there when we needed anything. She was friendly and nice and timed everything perfectly. The food was excellent as usual.
