There are many fish restaurants in the capital. Some are good enough, others have not won the love of visitors. And their big problem is that they are very expensive, not up to quality. But, much to the delight of lovers of seafood, the Boston Fish Restaurant opened in Moscow. It is not only deliciously cooked, but also quickly served, which is important for institutions of this type. Moreover, the area of the institution is not too large.
about the project
The full name of the institution sounds like “Boston Seafood & Bar”. It opened relatively recently, but has already managed to fall in love with many Muscovites. Belongs to Boston (restaurant, Belorusskaya metro station, Lesnaya street, 7), Anton Lyalin and Kirill Martynenko. They are the owners of the Torro Grill steakhouse chain, which is so popular among Muscovites and guests of the capital.
About the price category of the institution
Boston Fish Restaurant, the most positive reviews of it, belongs to the “democratic institutions” category. Firstly, prices are comparatively lower than in other similar places. And thanks to this alone, the institution received many positive reviews from visitors. Secondly, the amount of servings. For relatively little money, visitors get really a lot of food. Even in one serving. It is simply impossible to leave hungry. And this is also noted by the guests of the restaurant on various forums and sites where you can leave a review about the institution. Affordable prices combined with large portions attract more and more visitors to the Boston Seafood & Bar.
Kitchen
Already from the name it is clear that most of the dishes are fish. More precisely, from seafood. 90% of the entire cuisine is fish, shrimp, lobster, squid and other marine life. The remaining 10% are traditional European dishes (appetizers and side dishes, to be precise). A hit is an assorted shrimp. This is a unique dish! Several types of shrimp are served on the same plate: sweet, spicy, smoked and salted. Servings are designed for 700 and 1200 grams. Such a snack can get enough of several people at once! That is why the dish has become a hit with large companies. Yes, and the little ones too. Almost every third visitor out of interest orders assorted shrimps for sampling. For dessert, you can order mango and ricotta soup. An interesting combination, especially a pleasant taste, will appeal to connoisseurs of unusual dishes.
Special dishes
Like any restaurant, the Boston restaurant attracts not so much with its cuisine as with an unusual serving of ordinary, at first glance, dishes. For example, the name "Snow Crab" hides a crab baked with black pepper and various spices right in the shell. This dish is in demand among those who like to drink cold draft beer with a savory snack. The combination is really interesting and tasty.
Chowder fish soup is offered in two versions at once. One of them can even be attributed to the author’s recipe. Both Chowders are creamy. The classic one is called "Boston" with halibut, cod and shellfish. The dish is interesting in taste, slightly brackish and satisfying. The author’s recipe implies sweet corn, truffle oil and sweet shrimp (Kamchatka) in the composition. Not a spicy but spicy dish with a pleasant aftertaste.
Beer card
Boston Sea Food - a restaurant and bar under one roof. The main emphasis is on the beer card. Visitors are offered as many as nine types of draft beer. There are three Russians among them. One of them is brewed specifically for the restaurant, but the name of the brewery is carefully hidden. Three more types of beer are Czech, the rest Belgian. And this is just draft beer! But there are several more types of bottle. Various seafood appetizers emphasize the taste of beer, giving an interesting aftertaste. By the way, the drink is poured into wine glasses. So he plays more interesting, shimmers with his golden color. Volume of glasses: 0.33 liters, 0.5 liters, 1 liter.
Alcohol card
The Boston restaurant at the Belorusskaya metro station is rich in wines. After all, they are the very best combined with seafood dishes. The wines are mainly white, 12 kinds. But there are only 4 species of red, for true connoisseurs. You can order drinks both in bottles and glasses, depending on your preference.
In addition to beer and wine, the restaurant serves strong alcohol. But the gimmick of the establishment is cocktails based on them, where a carbonated drink is replaced by a beer. This combination can hit your head pretty hard, so bartenders warn in advance about the consequences. Strong alcohol can also be ordered in pure form. Incidentally, he is not very popular with visitors.
Features of the fish menu
The Boston Restaurant is a place where the menu, although small, is very flexible. This is due to the fact that the stake is made not so much on fresh fish as on other seafood: shrimp, lobster, crab, lobster. Their menus are plentiful. From fish preferences are given: fresh trout, sea bass, cod. They are delivered to the restaurant in abundance. Other types of fish are delivered frozen, which does not prevent cooks from preparing it deliciously. In addition to any dish, you can order a half of lobster at a reasonable price. By weight and volume, by the way, the portion is very solid.
Interior
A very interesting interior was chosen for the establishment. Firstly, you can feel the spirit of a classic American cafe. The style is the same, at least. Neat little tables, blackboards where hits and promotions are written in chalk, a classic bar counter. Secondly, despite the small size of the institution, no one bothers anyone. The kitchen is a semi-open room. That is, you can see how exactly they cook, for example, lobster. Spectacular and interesting. Boston (restaurant, Belorusskaya metro station) is located in the business center, which also could not but postpone its imprint. The interior design is modern and stylish, chrome elements, by the way, are always polished and clean.
Reservation
Since the restaurant "Boston" is one of the iconic youth restaurants, you should take care in advance to reserve a table for the evening. If at lunchtime this is not provided, then in the evening there is no end to visitors. "Boston" - a restaurant (Moscow), reviews of which are very grateful and positive - is also famous for its service. Firstly, the waiters are always in the zone of accessibility. Secondly, hostesses are always friendly and nice. The only thing that upsets many visitors, judging by the reviews, is the line that lines up at the entrance. On the other hand, if you have not booked a table for the evening, you will still have to wait a bit until other visitors get enough of first-class seafood.
Conclusion
The place is created for true connoisseurs of seafood. The menu, although not too large, is always flexible. Some dishes are being improved, some are being cleaned. Alcoholic and beer cards are very extensive, there is plenty to choose from even for the most demanding visitor. The only thing that can upset is the turn and the lack of free tables in the evening. But this can be avoided if you reserve a place in advance. The music in the institution is unobtrusive, mostly American classics. Sometimes the restaurant hosts various events. For example, coffee or theme nights. It is nice that you can pay both in cash and with a card. This place will appeal to those who value high-quality seafood, love seafood and beer drinks. Those who prefer the European menu are most likely to look for another restaurant for lunch or dinner, since there are negligible dishes. Here you can order a small theme party or celebration, renting a room for the whole evening in advance. On New Year's Eve , huge discounts are available, promotions from the owners are arranged, which cannot but please connoisseurs of seafood cuisine and themes.
The institution of the same name in Bryansk
Institutions with the name "Boston" are not so few in Russia. And many are different from each other. For example, the capital's Boston Seafood & Bar is very different from Boston in Bryansk. Firstly, these are slightly different institutions. So, the restaurant "Boston" (Bryansk), the reviews of which are very positive, is not a restaurant as such. This is a club. And the restaurant is already working separately in it. It does not apply to fish and sea cuisine, as the capital. This is a classic European establishment. Secondly, the interior is also different for two institutions of the same name. So, the Bryansk "Boston" is the embodiment of the traditions of Europe. And the interior, and the kitchen, and the entertainment program are all classic. This is what attracts the institution of its grateful visitors.
