So I have lived in Boston for about 2 years now and live in the seaport district. Everyone told me how great No Name restaurant is and cheap it is...and all the works. So, my wife and I decided to go and there was a line out the door (so it had to be good, right?) When you get a seat, they rush you off to the large rows of tables (very communal..reminded me of eating in italy)......the menu is no frills fish, fish, fish, shrimp, lobster, grilled, baked, poached. I got the seafood chowder and scrod.....oh my god horrible! No salt! I had to ask the people next to me and they said the same thing (maybe an off night for the cooks). The soup tasted like cx broth with a whole bunch of tough ocean fare....horrible. The food came and my fish was okay but again, NO SALT, NO PEPPER, NO SEASONING....I know its no frills but for the love of Julie Childs add some damn salt. The final kicker in this was the pricing....I don't know about you but for the quality of food they are offering, the no frills B-S, $65 bones for 2 heinkens and some really bad food is not my idea of cheap. Save the money got to LTK (Legal Test Kitchen, kitty corner from it at park lane apartments) much better food and cheaper prices than No Name. \r
If your an old fisherman type, like roughing it, prefer bland food...then you'd be ideal for this place.\r
If your the person that values fine food and fine wine...save yourself from the trouble....and don't go to No Name restaurant. \r
