Drumroll please!

Boston Magazine recently announced their Best of Boston Winners! Here are the winners from the South Boston/Seaport neighborhood! Congratulations!

Row 34 – Best Seafood

In a city flooded with seafood spots, Row 34 leaves the competition in its wake. That’s because chef-owner Jeremy Sewall takes incredible care when showcasing the local bounty, from Duxbury oysters and Maine mussels to seasonal, highly prized Atlantic bluefin tuna. The welcoming atmosphere, sleek bar, and exciting beverage list at all four outposts make this a place you go not just for pristine fish but also an extra-special dining experience. Multiple locations, row34.com.

Hunter’s Kitchen & Bar – Best Brunch

Every dish feels like a love letter to comfort food at this Southie stunner, which serves up the city’s most indulgent southern brunch. Executive chef Lambert Givens delivers fried-chicken Benedict on dreamy everything biscuits and soufflé-like cornbread that melts instantly in your mouth. His gumbo brimming with shrimp, crab, and andouille—which literally beat Bobby Flay on TV—shows the lunch side of the menu hits just as well. 110 Dorchester St., Boston, MA 02127, hunterssouthboston.com.

James Hook & Co. – Best Lobster Roll, Casual 

For a bite that never fails to deliver, walk past the live lobsters to order your roll at this no-frills, counter-service icon on the waterfront. A simple hot-dog bun cradles a generous pile of meat, and we appreciate the extra cup of melted butter if you go the mayo-less route. 440 Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA 02110, jameshooklobster.com.

Legal Sea Foods – Best Clam Chowder

There’s a reason presidents get served this chowder—Legal perfected the formula decades ago and never messed with it. Fishbone stock, barely thickened roux, generous fresh clam meat, and just enough cream and butter show why they’ve stayed on top for decades. Multiple locations, legalseafoods.com.

Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse – Best Homegrown High-End Chain

How does a restaurant survive 40 years of Boston’s fickle dining scene? Davio’s discovered the secret by merging two of the city’s most beloved formats—Italian and steakhouse—with the kind of over-the-top service that works equally well for closing deals, marking an anniversary, or impressing a date. Steve DiFillippo’s empire now spans 11 locations across Massachusetts and beyond, including a Seaport spot with some of the city’s most spectacular harbor views. Multiple locations, davios.com.

Nowon – Best Fusion Restaurant

Korean street food meets U.S. bodega culture at this mash-up reflecting the Seoul-to-New York trajectory of chef-founder Jae Lee. We’re particularly big fans of the chewy Korean rice cakes with toppings inspired by chopped-cheese sandwiches, and cheeseburgers topped with kimchi special sauce. 117 Seaport Blvd., Boston, MA 02210, nowonusa.com.

Woods Hill Pier 4 – Best Neighborhood Restaurant Seaport

While the Seaport drowns in out-of-town chains, this farm-to-table gem serves the real deal: daily deliveries from owner Kristin Canty’s New Hampshire farm transformed by chef Charlie Foster into sublime squid ink casarecce and irresistible dry-aged duck breast. Plus, those panoramic water views don’t hurt. 300 Pier 4 Blvd., Boston, MA 02210, woodshillpier4.com.

Citrus and Salt – Best Girls Night Out

Jason Santos’s Baja-inspired spot nails the group dining experience like nowhere else. The Instagram-ready El Arbol del Patrón—a palm-tree stand serving four mini bottled margaritas with bendy straws—sets the tone for maximum fun. Between the pink florals, colorful sugar-skull mural, and couch-like banquettes built for sprawling, everything here screams, “bring your crew.” Shareable hits like smoked-chicken taquitos, Tecate-poached shrimp cocktail, and barbecue duck carnitas tacos are a party for your taste buds, too. 319 A St., Boston, MA 02210, citrusandsaltboston.com.

Grace by Nia – Best Dinner and a Show

The gorgeous stage lighting and exquisite sound that envelop diners at this Seaport live-music venue and supper club certainly add to the atmosphere. But it would all be for naught if the performers, plates, and potables weren’t worth the trip. Visionary restaurateur Nia Grace, along with top-shelf nightlife partner Big Night, create nights to remember five days a week, with jazzed-up classic cocktails and chic but soulful fare such as pan-fried Cajun-style red snapper. 60 Seaport Blvd., Third Floor, Boston, MA 02210, gracebynia.com.

Lulu Green – Best Vegan Restaurant

Finally, a vegan restaurant that doesn’t make carnivores feel like they’re doing penance. This South Boston café nails creative comfort food—those maple-hot-sauce-glazed boneless “wings” are texturally flawless and boldly spiced—while mixing cocktails with local spirits that keep everyone coming back. No wonder they just opened a new location in Time Out Market with another in Kendall Square on the way. South Boston and Fenway, lulugreen.com.

Mr. H – Best Late Night Kitchen

When the Seaport turns into a culinary desert sometime after 10 p.m., Mr. H becomes the neighborhood’s glittering oasis, heating up with its extensive late-night menu, including sesame noodles, soup dumplings, and sparerib bao buns from COJE Management Group chief culinary officer Tom Berry. Beneath a giant golden dragon that watches over the ornate space—think Vegas meets the Forbidden City—snag a seat at the snaking bar and hunker down into the small hours of the morning. 225 Northern Ave., Boston, MA 02210, mrhchinese.com.

Snowport – Best Holiday Market

Hitting the mall at Christmastime is well and good, but when we want to find something truly unique for our loved ones—and feel like we’re shopping in a real-life snow globe while we’re at it—we head to this seasonal Seaport wonderland. Running from early November through the end of December, the festive market features goods from more than 120 vendors (think ethically made spices, artisanal skin care, winter flannels, glass art, and more). And when you’re not buying for others, you can treat yourself at the gourmet food and beverage tent, check out live music and iceless curling lanes, or choose a freshly cut evergreen at the tree market. 100 Seaport Blvd., Boston, MA 02210, bostonseaport.xyz/snowport.

Everybody Fights – Best Gym Membership

This is more than a gym—it’s a place to push harder, recover smarter, and fight your own fight. Opened last year in the Seaport, EverybodyFights’ 30,000-square-foot flagship offers members the opportunity to train like pros with drill-based boxing workouts in an environment that welcomes everyone from seasoned athletes to first-timers. But it’s not all about boxing here: The facility offers 150-plus weekly classes in all, from boxing and HIIT to cycling and infrared yoga, as well as cold plunges, saunas, and a full recovery lounge. In short, it’s a total knockout. Multiple locations, Boston, MA everybodyfights.com.

IV League Hydration – Best Hangover Cure

One too many espresso martinis? We’ve all been there. Thankfully, IV League makes rehydrating after a wild night out feel anything but clinical. Led by owner Courtney Jones and medical director Joseph Russo, the team delivers treatments while you lounge in massage recliners or via a convenient mobile service. Choose from signature drips like the “Knockout,” “Hail Mary,” or the “Inner Beauty,” designed to bring out your natural glow and leave you feeling top of your class. Multiple locations, Boston, MA 02127, ivleaguehydrate.com.

Remedy Place – Best Sauna

If your idea of happy hour includes heat, hydration, and a full-body reset, raise a toast to Remedy Place, where you can detox your body, soothe sore muscles, and boost your metabolism in a private, luxurious suite—complete with a full shower and premium amenities—that fits two people. The humid sauna suites, meanwhile, can accommodate groups of up to six. Consider it the much healthier alternative to afterwork drinks. 400 Summer St., Fl. 2, Boston, MA 02210, remedyplace.com.

The Tot Cafe by Little Cocoa Bean Company – Best Kid Friendly Eatery

There are only so many coloring books and stickers you can pack in the bag—eventually, your toddler is going to get antsy when dining out, and then it’s game over. That’s why the idea behind the Little Cocoa Bean Co.’s Tot Café is so genius: Here families will find healthful, kid-friendly meals that parents will enjoy, too (think: rainbow waffles, squash mac ‘n’ cheese, “unicorn” yogurt); places to play and read; and even clean and comfy changing tables for the inevitable diaper mess. The best news of all? This summer, the Tot Café is opening a new space in the Boston Children’s Museum (with public access), so they have even more reason to behave. 308 Congress St., Boston, MA 02210, littlecocoabeanco.com.

Institute of Contemporary Art – Best Wedding Venue for Modern Minimalists

Art lovers, waterfront dreamers, and modern romantics, this one’s for you. The ICA offers not only cutting-edge exhibitions and striking, sleek architecture, but also jaw-dropping views of Boston Harbor from nearly every angle. Whether you’re hosting cocktails on the Putnam Investments Plaza, dinner and dancing in the glass-walled State Street Corporation Lobby, or a more intimate celebration tucked away in the theater, each space brings its own kind of drama. 25 Harbor Shore Dr., Boston, MA 02210, icaboston.org.
