The Banks Fish House

This upscale two-story seafood restaurant has that perfect steakhouse-style service your dad probably loves, two bars (head to the one upstairs for killer views of the Hancock tower reflecting Trinity Church), and fresh-as-hell fish. Start with the crudo, but don’t miss the creative snacks like the Chowda Flatbread before going to town on a fisherman’s platter or dover sole. Sister restaurant to Grill 23 steakhouse, this is a place locals like to hit for a celebration, and delivers all the fancy, party vibes you need for a solid night (or afternoon) out.
