Now Open

Seamark Seafood & Cocktails at Encore Boston Harbor led by James Beard award-winning Chef Michael Schlow showcases a nautical-designed space offering a pier-to-plate concept with the freshest cold-water fish, lobster, and shellfish available.

Enjoy a variety of seafood dishes, including lobster frites, spicy seafood stew with shrimp, scallops, and clams, housemade spaghetti with lobster, Õra King salmon with French lentils and smoked bacon, and spicy crab fried rice. Don’t forget dessert! Share the ‘Seamark Sundae’ featuring vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and espresso ice creams, dark chocolate toffee, milk chocolate peanuts, Amarena cherries, dulce caramel, dark chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.

Seamark’s cocktail program is inspired by the lore and legend of New England’s seafaring history. Get into the maritime spirit and try the ‘Admiral’s Dram,’ Seamark’s interpretation of a Grog made with a secret blend of rums and spices with the addition of Rooibos tea. Grog was historically a drink made of rum and water with lime and sugar often added and rationed to British sailors on long journeys. If you’re an oyster lover, opt for the Seamark Martini’ concocted with Gray Whale Gin, Ostreida Vodka distilled with oysters, M&R Ambrato Vermouth, Manzanilla-style sherry, and saline. Cocktail lovers will also love discovering the speakeasy, Old Wives’ Tale tucked behind the rear wall of Seamark. This hidden gem pays homage to the mystique of the sea with a vintage map mural and maritime antiques and offers flavor-packed craft cocktails and fresh seafood bites.

For brunch offerings, enjoy crave-worthy shareables, including the ‘Bag-a-Donuts’ with warm, housemade cinnamon bomboloni and Nutella dipping sauce. Indulge in a ‘Brunch Tower’ with smoked salmon, whitefish salad, smoked trout roe, bagels, tomato, onion, cucumber, and cream cheese while you sip on brunch-style cocktails such as the ‘Hello Sunshine,’ an enhanced mimosa with Italicus Bergamot Liqueur, Mionetto Prosecco, fresh orange juice, and strawberry purée.
