If there is one thing my family loves, it’s seafood. When we saw Taste of Boston pop up in Wesley Chapel, we had high hopes that it would bring us a taste of home. My parents and I split the fried calamari appetizer. It wasn’t anything outrageous, just your every day squid, but it wasn’t bad dipped in the marinara sauce. The grilled basa dinner is excellent though! I ordered mine with sweet potato fries as a side and took half of it home because the portions were so generous. My mom is a major lobster roll connoisseur and she approves of George’s «famous» version. My dad had the Fisherman’s Platter and shared some with my mom. It comes with fried fish, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, fries, onion rings, and coleslaw. For a small fee, you can substitute the clam strips for whole belly clams. My parents opted to do this and their only complaint was that they did not receive them. Taste of Boston offers weekday ‘all you can eat’ specials, including my beloved grilled basa on Wednesdays. You can also have all you can eat shrimp on Mondays at a great price. The Taste of Boston staff was friendly and helpful in answering any questions that we had about the menu. We have been here a few times and I would visit again next time I have a hankering for some good seafood.

Came here for lunch with my grandfather today and had a nice time. Restaurant has a lot of space inside for looking small from the outside. Food was pretty good, I got the lobster roll with a cup of lobster bisque and my grandpa got the calamari and fried plantain platter(appetizers). The calamari was pretty basic, no real flavor and standard marinara sauce. I’m more used to seasoned calamari and more variety in dipping sauces. The lobster bisque was okay and seemed a little too watery for a bisque but the flavor was nice. Also barely any pieces of lobster in mine as opposed to what Bonefish Grill will give you. I’ve never been a fan of plantains so I won’t even try to judge them although my granpda seemed to enjoy them. The lobster roll was definitely delicious! Includes bread that’s texture is like a cross between a hot dog bun and garlic toast, lettuce, and topped with a slaw of lobster that barely fits into the bread. Overall the lobster dishes were enjoyable but the calamari can be stepped up. The service was nice and the food came out pretty quick!
