Seafood? check, Service? check, Hot Hostesses? check

by brooklynka at Citysearch

Great place to grab a beer (or 5) after work or come for a lunch break. Love the wings on Fridays there are like 6 sauces to pick from. They have 3 TVs at the bar which is cool for sports, one is usually used for the Wii though, Im not into the Wii, but people seem to enjoy the bowling. Go figure. Customers are cool people, mostly Wall st. guys, service is good. Favorite foods are skirt steak (great chimichurri sauce), sea bass, and calamari, and of course Stella :)

There are a lot of other restaurant on Stone Street and they are also adequate, good food, beer, tvs, but Waterstone is my staple since Im a seafood lover and I have come to know the servers and bartenders its a very welcoming atmosphere.

  • Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, at home service, outstanding seafood
  • Cons: AC is a bit chilly sometimes

Very romantic place for a date, awesome seafood options

by samlevitz at Citysearch

I took my boyfriend to this little downtown spot after shopping at South Seaport. It wasn't as little as I thought, looking in the window it seemed almost like a cafe, but we got seated upstairs in an amazing room. Well lit, perfect music for my mood, a kind of upbeat, chill music. We had a wonderful meal. Started with the lobster bisque and coconut shrimp. I got the bass entree, it was cooked perfectly, he got the mango salmon. and we shared the chocolate brownie for dessert (it was huge, but we took some home). Anyway, I would've never guessed that there was a cool spot for dinner like this on a street full of bars and pubs.

  • Pros: great food, ambiance, not touristy
  • Cons: hard to find

Your Wing night rocks

by ryanjack at Citysearch

3 Words...I love wings... And I havent found a better deal with wings this good in the city. Went here last Friday for 25 cent wing nite and almost ate 50 myself! OK, sauces, my top 3 are Hot (of course), Hot honey, and Sweet Thai, also love the fact that you offer pitchers, don't have to wait for beer as long. My friends also enjoyed the wings, but they couldnt hang with the 50! To bad the Yankees lost.

  • Pros: Awesome wings, TVs, good music, nice happy hour
  • Cons: a little dark, menu is huge
