Fall Flavors at Turner Fisheries

I've had the pleasure of dining at Turner Fisheries several times over the past few years.  I've sipped on their creative Bloody Mary cocktails during the summer and I've warmed up with their seafood risotto during the winter.  Thus, it is no surprise that I happily accepted an invitation to try out new fall menu this past week for a special blogger dinner.

I had a lovely evening with Rachel, Meghan and Monika, the Director of Food and Beverages.  We chatted together for several hours while we dined our way through several courses.  I have to say that I am always consistently impressed with the dishes and service at Turner Fisheries.  I have found that this kind of consistency isn't all that common, which is why it makes such a lasting impression on me.

Some of the standouts from the evening included the following:

Dirty Martini With Blue Cheese-Stuffed Olives

These grilled Island Creek oysters with maitaki mushrooms
and reisling cream was the best thing I've eaten in months!

Crispy Calamari with Pappadew Peppers, Capers and Roasted Garlic Aioli

I loved the delicate flavors of this Golden Beet Salad with
the creamiest goat cheese and basil oil.

Thank you Monika for ordering this Jonah Crab Cake
with Apple Slaw and Tamarind Reduction!

The Grilled Salmon was perfectly grilled and buttery in my mouth.

I loved this version of Bok Choy Kimchi!

We were too stuffed to really indulge in the dessert sampler,
but I loved, loved, loved the butternut squash ice cream!

It was wonderful to dine at Turner Fisheries and enjoy their seasonal fall dishes.  I'm definitely looking forward to returning there soon for some more of those delightful grilled oysters!

Full disclosure: The dinner was complimentary, but as always, my opinion is honest and completely my own.


Turner Fisheries is located in the Westin Copley Place at 10 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA.

Do you think the service and food are superb because you're getting the blogger special? I've actually been to a catered event at Turner Fisheries before and enjoyed it there but their cheesy tvs outside prevent me from going back for dinner (on my own dollar). It just seems like a tourist trap. Is that silly?
