Joe’s Waterfront is where you want to be if you’re looking to chill with epic harbor views in the heart of Boston. Right on the water, this spot dishes out a killer menu packed with New England classics & modern American eats. Think fresh-off-the-boat seafood, juicy steaks & cocktails that hit just right. Whether you’re craving a lobster roll or something light & fresh, Joe’s has got you covered. But the real vibe? Their outdoor patio. It’s the place to kick back, soak up the sun & enjoy some good food with a side of stunning harbor views. Perfect for a laid-back lunch or a sunset dinner that’ll make you forget you’re in the city. And after you’re done, you’re just steps away from cool spots like the New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall or a scenic stroll along the Harborwalk. Joe’s Waterfront isn’t just about the food—it’s about living that Boston waterfront life to the fullest.

The 4 gals at the front were rather unfriendly when we arrived. We were early for our reservation so sat at the bar. Extremely noisy but the bartenders were top notch. We were a party of six and was told we could not be seated early, yet there was an empty 6 top that sat for over an hour. If you are seated at a table (v a booth) the seats were very uncomfortable. Metal seats, no cushioning at all. Food was excellent, as was our waiter.

Upstairs diners are forgotten. We were seated at the only table with no silverware - asked for it but ultimately just had to get up and take some from another empty table near by. Ordered appetizers, had to ask the server to check on it after 20 minutes - she never followed up, and it arrived after our entrees. Interesting side note - the table next to us was also forgotten - by the time their entrees arrived they just immediately asked for to-go boxes!

We greatly enjoyed Joe’s twice during our stay in Boston. The location was perfect as we stayed at the Marriott Long Wharf. I had the lobster roll each time, and it was delicious. And, the 7-layer chocolate cake is AMAZING!!! The service was good both nights, and the ambiance is casual. Perfect!!

We had been to Joe’s a few years ago. We are with family who haven’t been to Boston, so we had to bring them to Joe’s. We were very happy with the Caesar salad topped with lobster salad. Huge pieces of lobster!

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday and the server, Cameron, was wonderfully attentive. The food was great and the views were amazing even if it were a stormy night.
