Get the chowder !! We also got the clam and scallop fried platter and it was delicious. You can also do the steamed mussels if you don't want to go for the fried options.

Wife and I were told about this joint from a local, who said "it's a hole in the wall , but it's fantastic!" He was right. Wife had fish n chips and I had the lobster & mussels So fresh and delicious.

Spectacular clam chowder and lobster roll here. Worth the hype. We arrived right at 5, and the wait would have been an hour, but we got seats at the bar and were served quickly.

Steven Lobo

Beer , chowder , oreo 's at the bar . Nothing fancy and nothing wrong with that. Pretty great fish and chips and all your basic bar food. First place I ever tried chowder with dill . Great potato skins .

Michael Wootton

Excellent clam chowder and lobster roll . Beer selection is small but mostly local. Great lively bar scene

Cayse Collins

This place is AMAZING. The clam chowder is fantastic an the fish & chips are the best I've ever had. Plus it's adorable. A "shack" in the middle of the affluent waterfront w/ great water views !

Tracy Stum

Nice location right on the water. Large portions so be prepared. Try the lobster dinner - it comes with steamed mussels & a salad .

Located right on Boston harbor , Boston Sail Loft is a perfect place for lunch or dinner with friends. Order the clam chowder , you won't regret it.

Barbara Crowther

This is the very best chowder in town ! I also love that it's family run and there are Oreos on the bar . What more can you ask for from a local haunt?

Get the clam chowder here and then another one next door at Joe's with a friend. Sit outside at Christopher Columbus park and debate which is better.

Great seafood , especially lobster , with a view (small outdoor space ). Nestled right on the sea.

Excellent clam chowder , super fresh calamari , lobsters any way you want.

Ricardo Lara

I've just loved everything from food to service, best place in boston to lunch and sick view from the sea.

Morgan Amber

Loved the chowder and lobster Mac and cheese . I also loved that this place was on the water and low key

Dennis Hansen

The popcorn shrimps are awesome and the steamed mussels are good and they serve huge portions !

Bobby Kennedy

Come hungry. The cup of chowder and fish & chips is a very hearty portion . And delicious.

Just had a drink at the bar here, but good atmosphere and friendly staff .

Matthew Tringali

Seafood ... but also lots of great choices for those in your party who do not love seafood .

Robert

Amazing food and reasonably priced, especially for being on the waterfront in Boston.

Amy Lopez

I've been here a few times, and always order the clam chowder . Its sooo delicious. I love that they make theirs with dill . Its different, but soooo good. We sometimes order the fried oysters/clams...

Erica Virtue

A cup of clam chowder and splitting the mussels = an awesome lunch . Top it off with an Oreo .

Brian Gaden

Right on the water. If the bar is crowded head outside and order through the balcony window.

Lea Ceasrine

Best chowder in Boston. Maybe New England!

Christian Megliola

With the water view and outdoor deck , the Sail Loft is a good place for a beer on a summer day and a cool place to camp out during a snowstorm.

Alaina Spaziani

The clam chowder is unbelievable! I swore by Legals until I tried this. Its made with dill and is unlike any chowder I've ever had.

Gianna Nebbia

Clam chowder ! Best I've ever had

As far as I am concerned, this place has *the* best cup of chowder in the city . Come here just for this!

They use dill in their extremely thick clam chowder - best I've had.

Not bad, fish and chips come with fish "nuggets", little weird but great spot for years.

Clem chowder was decent. Everything else seemed pretty average. Definitely not a stand out restaurant but good for a cup or bowl of chowder .
