Parvathy NairMay 30, 2016Get 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.
- Iliana SergDecember 16, 2017Down for a Lobster Roll Salad with an ocean view? Look no further than this popular spot! Our full experience review here - https://www.ispalette.com/ilianaspalette/2017/12/16/boston-sail-loft
Michael FoehseApril 29, 2013Wife 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.

Steven LoboDecember 1, 2013Beer, 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.
marie Wilson-smythSeptember 21, 2018We shared a lobster roll worth fries. Amazing. Buttery roll which was soft. Fresh lobster lovely staff great beer. Will be back.
- Michael WoottonJuly 31, 2015Excellent clam chowder and lobster roll. Beer selection is small but mostly local. Great lively bar scene
Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013Located 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.
ricardo benucciNovember 19, 2023The clam chowder, with dill in the recipe, it is a must have! Super chill atmosphere, good and attentive service. I will comeback for sure- Tracy StumAugust 28, 2023Nice location right on the water. Large portions so be prepared. Try the lobster dinner - it comes with steamed mussels & a salad.
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?
- Anonymous, since 2018May 3, 2021Great seafood, especially lobster, with a view (small outdoor space). Nestled right on the sea.
Cayse CollinsSeptember 19, 2010This 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!
Dennis HansenJuly 10, 2016The popcorn shrimps are awesome and the steamed mussels are good and they serve huge portions!
Bobby KennedyJanuary 4, 2016Come hungry. The cup of chowder and fish & chips is a very hearty portion. And delicious.- Morgan AmberDecember 15, 2014Loved the chowder and lobster Mac and cheese. I also loved that this place was on the water and low key
Ricardo LaraSeptember 21, 2014I've just loved everything from food to service, best place in boston to lunch and sick view from the sea.
Yera HaOctober 15, 2014Get 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.
Matthew TringaliJune 16, 2016Seafood... but also lots of great choices for those in your party who do not love seafood.
Amy LopezApril 26, 2010I'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...
RobertAugust 22, 2020Amazing food and reasonably priced, especially for being on the waterfront in Boston.- A cup of clam chowder and splitting the mussels = an awesome lunch. Top it off with an Oreo.
Brian GadenMay 12, 2013Right on the water. If the bar is crowded head outside and order through the balcony window.
Not bad, fish and chips come with fish "nuggets", little weird but great spot for years.
Alaina SpazianiAugust 26, 2011The 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.
Christian MegliolaMay 6, 2010With 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.
Tim FOctober 10, 2016Clem chowder was decent. Everything else seemed pretty average. Definitely not a stand out restaurant but good for a cup or bowl of chowder.
