We loved hook + line last night! Great staff, delicious food (bronzino and skate wing recommended), beautiful design (by Ruhl | Jahnes architects), and an added bonus of lovely NA cocktail options (especially Papi Punch)!

The location is spectacular. The ambiance is wonderful. The food was great too. Service was a little slow with drinks and appetizers but other service staff jumped in when needed.

Really nice seafood restaurant in Seaport. Most of the food is excellent, including the raw bar, chicken, and steak (yes not all seafood). Nice wine list and the DR 75 is a fantastic cocktail to start with. The branzino is also excellent as were the fried scallops (though not on the menu right now). Only thing I'm not a fan of is the lobster roll which is served two ways and not one of the best lobster rolls in the area... Overall definitely worth checking out and usually very quiet early in the week.

I wanted to love Hook + Line. Sadly, I didn't. Maybe it was that we were there on a Saturday night and it was packed. (I had a friend, a restaurant critic, whose advice to diners was: never eat out on a Saturday night. Often wise advice if it's great food you're after.) Let me start with the good parts. The staff was great! We had a very good waiter, who was clearly informed about the wines, listened to us, and made some good recommendations. Really good focaccia, lightly kissed by the wood-burning oven. A lightly dressed Casear salad with vibrant, fresh romaine. And a side of broccolini that was delicious and nicely done. We weren't so happy with the entrees. For me, skate wing: very fresh and served on the bone (nice touch!), well cooked, but with a gloppy, heavy sauce that, for me, didn't work with the skate. My wife had a lovely piece of halibut that came up cold, and which she sent back 3 times (note: 3 times) to be warmed up. And the volume in room was, well, VERY loud. I ran a SoundPrint check -- 80 db, or, as I noted, VERY loud. Oy.
