Captain Fishbone's

Its alright. Nice environment, eating outside is cool. Foods good but nothing incredible. its a mix between 3 and 4 stars.
I went with a friend to dinner at Marina Bay. He had already been to Siros and Skyline and wanted to go someplace new so he asked if Captain Fishbone's was ok. I agreed to go so he could try it.
When we gave our order to the waitress, the waitress didn't think, when some asks for the price of the lobster ravioli and then says "Ok, I will order that", that it is a real order. So when my dinner and the appetizer we ordered came out, his ravioli did not. We asked the waitress after a few minutes where it was and she said it would be right out. She did not acknowledge that she forgot until she brought the meal out.
I had salmon with a dill sauce and mashed potatoes. The salmon was the best part about the dish along with the martini I had. The mashed potatoes were dry and the dill sauce was bland.
We should have gone to one of the other places that has better food and a better view.
The outside bar seemed crowded for a Sunday evening, so going to the outdoor bar for a drink seems to be the better choice.

I saw this restaurant off the highway and got such a kick out of the name I forced my bf take me there. We actually went for V-day a few years ago. Despite the wacky name, the ambiance inside is pretty nice. I love how the silverware has little fishtails....very cute. I think the food here is average, but the cocktails are very good and they don't skimp on the booze :) They actually had a raffle the night we went and we ended up winning the grand prize which was a $100 gift certificate...my bf got out easy that night and didn't have to pay!! hehe....we returned to try out their brunch buffet with the remaining $$ and it was pretty decent for a buffet....good price and lots of options.
One thing I really didn't like is that we ordered the caramel apple cheesecake on vday and they said that it was still frozen so they couldnt serve it to us.....umm....that's not acceptable.
If we hadnt won the $100 gift card, I'd probably have given this place 2 stars.
They have an outdoor seating area on the boardwalk. It's nice to sit out there at night and have bar food and drinks. The food is good and the service is excellent.
I have been there a few times. For both lunch and dinner. The food is OK. The salads are pretty standard. The fish is fresh. The wine selection is kinda limited. I guess I keep going back mostly for the location.
I would give it 2 stars for the food...but I am upping it to 3 stars for the location.
This place is a good casual place for a beer & a bite after a day out on the boat.

I went to Captain Fishbone's with a guy last night.
The food was very good: I had a cheese pizza and my date had pepperoni, which were more than enough for one person. The drinks were delish, too.
The indoor bar area is very small; it's better to eat outside, which gives you a great view of the water. Also, there's an outdoor bar, which is closer to the water, and has more space than that of the indoor one.
The Marina Bay area, in general, is gorgeous. :)

Yes, happy hour has cheap appetizers for 99 cents. The food is ok, nothing mind blowing and stick to simple orders. They also deliver to us locals, but sometimes takes way too long to drive a few blocks which make me feel fat for not getting up off the couch to have take out.
The bar is nice, but small, so get seated in their outdoor section in the summer to hang out with your friends.
It's not a destination, but somewhere to stop by if you are hungry.
FYI: Don't forget to ask for dinner rolls. Because sometimes they "forget" to bring them out.

If you want to be on Marina Bay without the pretention of the other restaurants there or the meat market of young singles at Water Works, grab some beers and simple seafood at Captain Fishbone's.
The menu is actually very long with all sorts of food options, from salads and sandwiches to pizza and pasta to seafood. Prices are reasonable and they have pint-sized souvenir beer glasses for you to keep when you buy a large draft. (Actually, they are nice enough to wrap up a clean one). They also do a decent brunch.
Not really a place to hike to, but if you happen to live or be in the area or feel like dining casually on the water, this is a good pick. Don't bother with dessert though. Instead, walk off your lunch or dinner on the boardwalk and check out the homemade ice cream stand for a scoop (or two).
I am a very lucky guy for the obvious reasons. I have a good family, good friends, people who love me, blah blah blah.
BUT during the summer months I am even MORE lucky because guess what I have?
Friends with boats. That's right NYAAAH and you don't!! Anyway one of my friends who we'll call Mr. Blue has a boat. He and his brother Mr. Green met me at Capt. Fishbones to drink before boating the other day and for some reason Mr. Green keeps inviting this guy and his stripper girlfriend every fucking time I get away which is really rare so I don't see why Mr. Blue keeps inviting me when I have no tolerance for good, nice people let alone bloated, big mouthed, talk too much crap, pretentious show off, she's only with you because of money, why don't you let go of her arm because your afraid she'll try and leave with me shit head shut up already for chrissake guys.
But man what a beautiful outside, overlooking the water bar. I love the ambiance. I drank really expensive drinks and ate apps then when it was time to boat I didn't reach into my pocket. That's right Mr. Blue there will be a toll to pay from now on. I told him this later. Don't involve me in the madness. Tell Mr. Green to invite our FRIENDS not this guy any more or you pay the bill. So this place ,outside bar only gets a thumbs up. Marina Bay is great. Make friends with boat people. It is so gorgeous out there in the harbor. We boated out to Tia's where I stepped into a hole in the dock and may have broken my foot. It still hurts. It was worth it though. I'll review Tia's later. This made me want to lie down.
Good night.

Right on the water in Quincy's Marina Bay area...we had crab cakes, fried clams, halibut, and steak tips and everyone was impressed with their meals. Outdoor seating and nice decor, albeit a tad dark the night we ate there. Service was good and felt like a regular haunt.
Worth it for the drinks, great outdoor scenery overlooking the ocean and Boston. For food I would recommend passing it up and walking over to Skyline or Siros. The food is very boring and bland. For a restaurant right on the water overlooking Boston you would think that they would have something fun to offer on their menu. We always get a few apps because the rest of the menu is too "chain" or like the Applebees menu with some seafood additions.
