This waterfront restaurant offers fine dining and superior service. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had the opportunity to come to the Sea Grille for Valentine’s Day Weekend. They had a special menu, so unfortunately, I was not able to have the clam chowder. I did have the shrimp scampi, which was excellent, and I had the lobster for my entree. It was too chewy for me, but the manager was gracious enough to let me get a steak as a replacement. They also serve us champagne, and I got one long-stemmed red rose. The evening was really special, and I had the most amazing view from a window seat overlooking the waterfront. I would highly recommend eating at the Sea Grille. I came for breakfast and received the same superior service.

I had an excellent afternoon tea service at this restaurant! Certainly pricey, but expected for afternoon tea in Boston. Compared to the other two I’ve tried (BPL & Trifecta), this one is more expensive by a little and is the most filling, and is in my favorite space of the three. The tea quality is not terribly impressive, but that was within expectations. We both had the chai. I prefer round teacups instead of mugs. Of course, that doesn’t impact taste!

Starting off, the service was very friendly and attentive. The dining space feels spacious and well-lit, cozy and welcoming. Other diners were not loud, making it comfortable for me and my partner to converse without being overwhelmed. Our waiter showed us the teas, gave us some time to choose & provided the scones and sugar cones in the meantime, then we gave our selection.

The scones came warm and buttery. Probably my favorite scones compared to BPL and Trifecta! Also the savory cream in the sugar cones was yummy, serving to break up the butter of the scones. All the savory foods were good, except for the cucumber — I was underwhelmed by the bread, despite being very impressed by the bread for the other sandwiches. The lobster puff was my favorite, the chicken was my partner’s.

The desserts were fantastic, outside of the shortbread cookie. The cookie was a touch dry, but I suppose that’s what the tea is for! The waitstaff were very diligent in offering hot water refills, which was kind of them (I prefer a stronger steep so I had to turn down the second offering of hot water). The pistachio cake was our favorite. The flavor was nutty, with a light texture that was enhanced by the mild sweetness of the pink cream.

I would recommend coming to Rowes Wharf for the tea experience! My partner and I were satisfied after eating everything, unlike Trifecta where we left a bit hungry. Be prepared to drop $100+ per person, after tax and tip. It’s afternoon tea in Boston and nowadays, that’s the going rate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Birthday My Daughter Will Never Forget
The Boston Harbor Hotel is famous for its stunning views and iconic presence—but as a parent planning a special birthday celebration, what touched me most was the extraordinary service and unforgettable culinary experience at the Sea Grille.
The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in, and the food was exceptional. But the real magic came from Executive Pastry Chef Chelsea, whose talent and kindness elevated my daughter’s birthday into a memory she will cherish for years.
✨ APPLE CRISP OAT BAR
Apple Compote, Coconut–Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (v/gf/nf)
Warm, comforting, and beautifully balanced.
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CREAM TART
Valrhona Chocolate Pastry Cream, Caramelized White Chocolate Crèmeux, Milk Chocolate Mousse
Chelsea created a delicate chocolate feather and even wrote my daughter’s name and “Happy Birthday” on the plate. Watching my daughter’s face light up—it truly meant the world.
GINGER SPICE TORTE
Burnt Cinnamon Meringue, Cranberry Consommé, Poached Cranberry (veg/nf)
Elegant, seasonal, and absolutely delicious.
As a parent, there’s nothing more special than seeing your child feel celebrated. Sea Grille and Chef Chelsea delivered that and more.
We will absolutely be back—for the view, yes, but even more for the heart and hospitality that made this birthday unforgettable.

I rated this 4 stars instead of 5 mainly because of the value. Breakfast for a family of four came to $175 (thankfully covered by Amex program credit), and for what was offered, the price felt about 20-30% higher than it should be.

That said, the food quality was good, well prepared, and nicely presented. With better pricing, this would easily be a 5-star experience.

10/10 experience. We had 35 minutes to spare on a quick bite before getting on one of the sunset cruises that board right outside the restaurant. When we were seated, we told the server how limited we were on time and he was incredibly kind and helpful. Ordered the Caesar salad and two orders of shrimp cocktail and both were absolutely delicious!! Might have been one of my favorite Caesar salads I’ve ever had and the shrimp were humongous (the pics don’t do them justice!)

I went to Rowes Wharf Sea Grille on my actual birthday, and overall it was a nice experience. The restaurant is inside a hotel and has a very fancy, elegant vibe. We had a 4PM reservation on a Sunday, and it wasn’t busy at all, which was perfect. We got seated right away.

There were six of us, and I really loved that we got a round table as it makes it easier to talk to everyone and feel connected, which is exactly what I wanted for my birthday.

I ordered the Wagyu Steak Burger (medium well), and it came with fries. The burger was a decent size, but I didn’t love it, there was something off about the texture that I couldn’t really explain. The fries were amazing though, very crispy, flavorful, and definitely a highlight.

I was excited to try the Passion Fruit Sling drink, but it ended up being kind of underwhelming. Not bad, just didn’t live up to the hype in my head (I love Passion fruit so my expectations are high).

Our server was attentive for the most part, though there were a couple of times when my water glass was empty for longer than I’d like and it took a while to ask for the check.

Now, I have to give a special shoutout to the pastry chef, Chelsea! She found out it was my birthday and sent out a special dessert just for me (pretty sure it was a Black Forest something), and it honestly made my day. That personal touch made the visit feel extra special.

Even though not everything hit, I’d still think about going back to try something different on the menu.

Had the pleasure of dinning here was a large group in a private room. The staff were exceptional and the food was delicious. Recommend for private events and a night in the town.

Previous reviews generally paint the picture pretty well

The atmosphere is very cozy with a lovely view of the marina, including an outdoor seating area in the Summer months, it’s a pleasant reprieve from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The food quality in my handful of visits now has been consistently very good in my opinion, meets expectations for a fine dining restaurant. I’ve also had a few good cocktails as well.

The primary complaint, unanimous from previous reviews, is the prices, which are probably universally 15-20% above board. Somewhat expected for a fine dining restaurant at a 5-star hotel in the heart of the City. That being said, I must say that I’ve never personally seen the restaurant busy, and almost certainly the prices are largely blame. Though to be fair, if you’re not staying in the hotel the restaurant is a bit difficult to come upon organically as it’s tucked away at the rear of the hotel and not on the Main Street.

I’m no marketing exec, but even a modest price drop and some better advertising would seemingly be a great boon for business. I’ll certainly return for the occasional treat, as the food quality is consistent.

Clam chowder was really good with a giant clam, even croutons were tasty! Salmon entree was delicious as well, I wasn’t even that hungry but finished the entire thing. Ambiance is lovely, and it is right by the water, you can enjoy peaceful views. The service was great!
