Woods Hill Pier 4

At Woods Hill Pier 4, the food and harbor views will constantly battle for your attention. This is a good thing, because both are excellent. We love the smoky adelita margarita, the Cubano with ham and pork shoulder confit on the butteriest baguette, and any towering shellfish platter that comes, naturally, with Old Bay aioli. Go for brunch on a sunny day to sit in a comfy booth, gaze out the floor-to-ceiling windows, and try the lobster popover (possibly the fanciest lobster roll on our list) that’s reached celebrity status around town. We’ve seen Mindy Kaling getting down with one. They’re also really serious about food sourcing: they run and operate their own farm that supplies most of the restaurant’s meat, produce, and dairy.
