Pier 6

Last week, my family and I revisited Pier 6, nestled at 1 8th St in Charlestown, MA📍. Despite having been there nearly a year ago, this visit was dedicated to exploring their enticing fall menu. Our libation journey began with the “Paper Boat,” a delightful concoction of Maker’s Mark bourbon, aperol, and zesty lemon🍋. A must-try for bourbon enthusiasts, this cocktail set the tone for an evening of palate-pleasing experiences. The classic margarita featuring Ocho Blanco tequila, triple sec, and lime, along with the Piña Colada infused with Blue Chair coconut rum, added a tropical flair. Wrapping up the prelude was the timeless classic, the espresso martini🍸 – a perfect prelude to a delightful meal. Venturing into appetizers, the Blackened Swordfish🐟 Tacos🌮 showcased a harmonious blend of flavors, accented by avocado lime crema and jicama slaw, earning a solid 8/10. The fried calamari🦑, adorned with sliced cherry peppers, earned a commendable 7/10 for its well-seasoned, zesty appeal. A visual and gastronomic delight, the tuna tartare with avocado🥑, mango🥭, chili oil, and wontons stood out as a favorite, offering a delightful sharing experience. Transitioning to the main course, the grilled hanger steak with broccoli and watercress salad proved to be a satisfactory choice, meriting a 7/10. However, stealing the spotlight were the pan-seared scallops, sautéed in a vegetable succotash and complemented by a citrus carrot🥕 purée – a truly decadent delight deserving of a 9/10. Equally impressive was the grilled swordfish, accompanied by Israeli couscous, mussels, cherry tomatoes, and a green olive chimichurri. The flavorful couscous and impeccably fresh swordfish earned this dish a solid 9/10. Concluding the entrees, the seafood fry diavolo 🍝, boasting linguine, spicy pomodoro sauce, mussels, and shrimp🦐, though not overly spicy, delivered a tasty experience with well-cooked mussels🦪 and shrimp, earning a respectable 7/10. Beyond the culinary delights, Pier 6 offers a breathtaking🌊 view of Boston, coupled with an intimate ambiance. This gem in Charlestown deserves a visit for its excellent dishes and overall dining experience. Food: 8/10 Affordability: 7/10 Ambiance: 8/10

Food was really good, scallops fantastic, the lobster roll had a little more butter than I usually like but it was really good as well, I’m not a salad person but the cease salad here is delicious, Valeria our server was fantastic, knowledgeable, made great recommendations and even made small talks with us, a server that keeps you entertained is always better.

Pier 6 is a great choice for a restaurant in Charlestown whether you’re getting brunch or grabbing drinks with your friends. Pier 6 is beautiful views, both at night and during the day! Plenty of seating, inside and out. The menu has plenty of classic staples with some inventive twists on a few dishes! There’s a parking lot you can pay for, but it can get a little pricey. Parking will be tough to find in Charlestown.

Our first trip to the area, Pier 6's menu, met our interest! Our server, Ivana, was so friendly, very attentive, and a pleasant part of our memories from here. Our cocktails were quite tasty with enough spirits to keep us warm. Topnotch menu, preparation & presentation, and so good. Hubs loved the small oysters, I had my dessert first as usual, our entrees we're amazing! Oh, that view!

Had a brilliant time here last night!! The view was gorgeous, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The cocktails had to be the highlight for me… best espresso martini I’ve had in a long time, and the painkillers were AWESOME! We had the tuna tartare, which was yummy (big portion size!). Also the crab cake and tacos - I think for me the highlight was absolutely the tacos! Will be back again 🥰

Pier 6 was a remarkable experience and we would highly recommend you visit for fabulous food, service and views! We made reservations for brunch and could not have been happier with the menu. I went with the crab cakes Benedict and calling out my dish first because dayum it was so good. I couldn’t even come close to eating it all. Josh went with the huevos rancheros which he absolutely loved. When you order a side of bacon - you get way more than expected - and it was cooked to perfection; crisp but not overdone. Highly recommend for the Boston area.

Excellent place! Make sure to reserve at least a week beforehand as reservations from one day to another are difficult but not impossible to get. If it's a nice day outside, ask for a window seat to enjoy a view of the bay, although anywhere is nice or maybe the top deck if it's not that breezy or terribly sunny/hot. The inside area is cozy with nice and enough space and table separation. Service is great and fast! Wife and I had oysters, lobster roll and lobster omelette, both amazing. Cocktails are a plus. Although they don't have different types of coffee, their black brew is good as well, with cream if needed. All in all a really nice experience! Would visit again! PS: They have a private paid parking lot right next to the restaurant, which is a plus in Boston. 15 DLLs for 2 hours which is not too bad!
