It’s time to venture out of your comfort zone. Yes, that means getting off the couch and heading into Boston for a night on the town. We know it’s difficult, but trust us, you’ll be glad you did. Head on over to the Seaport District’s 75 on Liberty Wharf, sibling restaurant to the luxe 75 Chestnut eatery in Beacon Hill. This casually elegant outpost is located right on the water with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that allow unobstructed views of the surrounding wharf.
The restaurant features a brunch, lunch and dinner menu in addition to its extensive offering of beverages. Guests can order from 75's Green Libation menu, which is comprised of liquors that are either certified organic or made with organic products. The Healthy Resolution, for example, blends Chia seeds soaked in Bully Boy Organic Vodka, shaken with organic blood orange juice and raw Kombucha. If tequila is more your style, get started with a spicy margarita paired alongside a cup of the restaurant’s rich clam chowder.
Seafood is the name of the game here so guests may enjoy a bowl of 75 Liberty Wharf’s steamed mussels, served in a flavorful broth of roasted tomato and garlic and accompanied by crusty French bread for dipping. We loved the simply stated Pasta Caprese with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, but the declared winner of the night was the Nantucket Seafood Stew. The dish was filled with a variety of flavorful sea fare including Gulf shrimp, scallops, salmon, swordfish, halibut and sea bass cooked with garden vegetables and bliss potatoes. To finish, we rounded out our relaxed evening with a cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful scenery.
In the summer time, be sure to request a seat on the outdoor patio. 75 on Liberty Wharf's alfresco dining allows for lovely views of the harbor while the sun sets across the marina. For cooler evenings, the patio features several heaters to keep diners toasty during their meal. Even on busy days, the patio doubles the 1,500 square feet of indoor seating capacity, ensuring hungry guests a seat inside this popular waterside restaurant.
