The lobster sandwich is very tasty! Nice view with friendly staff. I suggest you make a reservation first before you go! It’s a wonderful place to hang out with friends.
Wow, can I give more than 5 stars? The food: wonderful. The service: excellent. Actually I wanna shout out our amazing waitress. We got to learn about what exactly happens in the winter. The whole crew gets on the boat and parties all night while the ship is hauled to Massachusetts! Then they all get to sleep over in a mansion and fly back on a private jet. Sounds like a great time. The oysters were such an aphrodisiac that my gay and lesbian friends went at it like two seals in heat. Pictures below. Other than that, a great night with family!
Fantastic experience! Great oysters, great cocktails, great bartenders, great views, great vibes! Everyone on board worked so hard to make our night perfect. Chauncey took such great care of us. Put this place on your must do list.
I booked a reservation for my birthday and am delighted that I did. Although my request for a table for two near the front of the boat was initially lost, Katherine and Ashely, the hostesses, ensured that it was accommodated, setting a positive tone for the evening. The restaurant offered breathtaking views and delectable options, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service, which I would rate as five-star. Our server, Tansu, made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend Grand Banks and definitely plan to return, drawn by its unique ambiance and outstanding cocktails and cuisine.
I’m in love with this place! Incredible spot, amazing views, great music and staff. This gem is just gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite spots. We just had drinks and were lucky to be able to sit a the bar on the Sunday. It gets really busy. The team was super nice and we had the best time! Can’t wait to go back!
Highly recommend! Beautiful views and great ambiance! Oysters were fresh and tasted just like the ocean, they are freshly shucked to order! Lobster roll was delicious also. Reservations are required.

Grand Banks is just such a special place and provides an amazing dining experience. My husband and I have been big fans for a couple years now and this year is again, so amazing! Food is always spot on and fresh, ambiance is perfection and service is always exceptional. I would highly recommend for special date night or day date! Also perfect for a girls outing too.
