Best of Boston

2001 Best Seafood Restaurant, South

Jake’s Seafood

This is the kind of casual seafood place where you’re as comfortable bringing a date as you would be having the kids in tow. The extensive menu offers fresh seafood every which way—fried, baked, stuffed—and if you can think of another, they’re occasionally willing to indulge you. You should indulge yourself with Indian or rice pudding for dessert. An added plus is the friendliness and personal service of a family business. If you have any doubts, just check out the Little League photos lining the walls.
