We went to Boston's one year. We weren't overly impressed. We felt like it was a Ponderosa with Lobster. On one hand, the price is fair for the food offered, and with coupons you can certainly get a belly full of top shelf sea food and steak.
On the other hand, and all appologies to those that like Ponderosa (and no offense to the same): Ponderosa-type food just tastes like it came out of a bag. Their steaks, whether rib eye, sirloin, or fillet, taste the same. Ok, but bland. Somehow, the lobster tasted that way at Boston's. Not terrible, but we were expecting this lobster feast and came away with a feeling that "it was ok, but...."
But that's one person's opinion. We were in a group of six. Two felt like me. Of the other three, one thought it was terrible, one thought it wasn't top notch but that I was being hard on it, and one person thought it was "the greatest deal I've ever seen." Then again, she was from Iowa, not a person I trust for seafood opinions.
If you're ever in Rhoad Island, try the Nordic Lodge. It's about fifty bucks a head, but it's like someone crossed a four star restaurant with a buffet. Now, that's some lobster...
One man's opinion,
