Turner Fisheries - Boston

If you want ridiculous little portions that are overpriced, this is the place! Fish Entrees are close to $40.00 and about four bites in total. Wedge salad had about three leaves for $10.00, and Dessert was two bites for the same. The seafood risotto of my husband was the size of an English muffin for $38.00. Very disappointed because the food wasn't even so good. No wonder place was empty on a Saturday night.

The Red Snapper Entree was overcooked and smells very fishy. The beautified fennel made him pale. Nobody ever asked how the food was. (Well they could smell the fish when they served him). The Tuna Ceviche appetizer was great, but the peach merainge Dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste. Not impressed.

What's going on? In a city with great fish restaurants, this is a real NO GO. Very expensive and the cook cannot cook lobster properly...boiled lobster was overboiled twice. Others attract very common and expensive. Try Legal Seafood... much better.

The logo So good, so fresh, so close certainly does not live up to its name in part. It may be close depending on where one lives but is certainly not good and worse again is most certainly not fresh. The ambience is certainly cool and the waiting staff friendly and efficient but it all ends there. One oyster out of the selection ordered had gone completely off which was easily detected by the obnoxious smell something the chef should have noticed before serving and not left to the customer. The main course of seafood risotto was out of a jar as evidenced by the hard tasteless rolled up shrimp, rubbery calamari and processed scallop pieces. This is inexcusable for a restaurant of this supposed calibre. It certainly boasts enough about its quality and freshness but certainly does not deliver. The only saving grace was a very nice and pleasant young waiter and a Manager who apologized profusely that the seafood was indeed not fresh. I made a polite suggestion as to what should be done with a chef who is essentially trying to swindle the customer by serving such appalling slop. When spending one 's hard earned cash one wants to get value for money irrespective of the cost and not a night full of bad food and sincere apologies. I have irreversibly turned against Turners.
