Star Fish Market — Restaurant in Boston

Let me first start off by saying this use to be a staple of the community . “Use to be“ 😒. Within the last year my last few visits came with red flags and have left me under the impression that this fish place has change hands in ownership without notifying the community and today I think I got my confirmation . Whether there are new owners or not I definitely will not be patronizing or referring anyone to this restaurant or should I say “take out” spot because they want you to place your order and step outside until the food is ready so it’s definitely not welcoming 😒.

The problem is you can’t serve a community for years with excellent, attentive service and then start serving trash and expecting people not to notice the difference. Especially when people are patronizing your business with their hard earned money in an overpriced ,struggling economy. You can’t sit down and eat in this place anymore, the prices have gone up , the portions have gotten smaller and listening is not a skill that workers possess . The man that use to run this establishment use to be attentive when taking your order and the food was always fresh . This place use to be popular for its fish sandwiches and now they are just popular for pretending because ain’t no way this is the same star fish that served the community for all these years .

My order was clearly stated and they still served me whatever they wanted to serve me . I asked for a large haddock sandwich with “no cheese” and to my surprise when I got home I had a half haddock, half whiting and yes my sandwich did have cheese on it . Refer to the picture because Stevie wonder can tell that I was served two different kind of fish on my sandwich. Not to mention this sandwich use to be served with brown bread (if you know you know) I’m disgusted that people think they can serve you whatever they want because new owners or not my last few experiences have been unacceptable. I don’t expect a restaurant that has gained the trust of the community to give this kind of poor service and today they definitely played in my face and if they changed owners they are playing in all of the communities faces . The very community that kept their doors open all these years ....

This was my 2nd time going to Star Fish under the new management. They're still putting in the final touches to the place. They removed all the tables (There was only 2 if remembered correctly) which I thought was a great idea considering the place used to get busy during lunchtime and most people who order there usually take it to go. I noticed they put up 2 new POS (Purchase of Sale) systems on top of the counter, so you can see what you're ordering. I ordered the Large Shrimp dinner. It was delicious. The only issue I see that may concern people are the prices. They did go up, but in my opinion, they're still fair and reasonable. Seafood isn't cheap and my seafood was fresh. You can taste the difference when it's not. If the prices aren't right for you or if you're on a budget, then head over to La Parada Restaurant across the street. You can get a decent meal for around $15 dollars. I only come here when I have some extra $$$ to have me some fresh seafood. I'll come back to try the Calamari...If the Price...

The solid fish store and seafood restaurant that the Star Fish Market once was is now finished. There seems to be new management, and believe me, there's a big difference. The prices are much higher. The customer service is next to non-existent and it's just not the same. There are a few seats along the window that faces the parking lot, that a patron can dine at.The food was fine, a tiny bit overcooked on the clam bellies. I ordered the fisherman's dinner with clam bellies, it was a steep price around 32.00 for a place in the inner city. But, the quality was nice. They don't have two garbage cans like they used to and no squeeze bottle for the ketchup and tartar sauces. The ketchup packets were disappointing because they used to package them up like they packaged the...
