The Boston Hotel - A Hidden Gem for Seafood and Steaks in Lancaster, NY

Boston Hotel Steak and Crab: A Solid Main Dish, but Lacking Finesse We recently dined at Boston Hotel Steak and Crab and tried their NY Strip. The steak was, without a doubt, the highlight of the meal. Tender, perfectly cooked to our order, and bursting with flavor, it showcased the quality and expertise one expects from a steakhouse. The main course did not disappoint. However, the accompanying sides fell short of expectations. While they were adequate, they lacked creativity and seasoning, failing to add anything memorable to the plate. For a meal centered around a premium steak, the sides should complement and elevate the dish, but here they felt uninspired. The roll, another small but significant detail, was also disappointing. Not only was it not homemade, but it wasn’t even served warm, which would have made a world of difference. Fresh, warm bread can set the tone for the meal, and its absence was noticeable. Service-wise, we had no complaints, but it wasn’t particularly noteworthy either. The staff was polite and efficient, but there were no standout moments to make the experience feel more special or personalized. In summary, Boston Hotel Steak and Crab excels in delivering a well-prepared steak but misses the mark on the supporting elements. For a restaurant of this caliber, attention to detail—particularly with sides, bread, and service—could transform the meal into a truly exceptional experience.

This is a wny gem - truly. Fresh clams, steamed clams, clams casino, langostino, crab cakes, shrimp cakes, shrimp cocktail, crab legs, fish fry - such good food. Quick friendly service. You can't go wrong here... whenever I come here I can't order past the appetizers/seafood selections. It's so good.

What a great place for seafood. We've gone here for years. The food is always prepared perfectly and piping hot. The waitresses are so friendly and helpful. It's just wonderful. If you're even thinking about going here, DO IT!! You not only won't be disappointed but I know you'll be back time and again. Bring your friends and family. I'm sure they will thank you.

Ok so it looks..like a local watering hole.. but the resteraunt ..the food is outstanding..it's seafood so it's not cheap BUT their prices a certainly less than most places.. The oysters are very good The dainties..that was a first ..never even heard of them... now I feel cheated all these years.. delicious...the Alfredo was great..the scallops were tender..everything perfectly prepared..side veg was delicious too. Service was quick and friendly This is a hidden gem We will be back..

Oysters, clams, scallops…oh my! This was our first visit to the Boston Hotel and we were thoroughly impressed! The seafood was beyond fresh and amazing. I recommend the seafood platter to try some of everything! The scallops were the number one choice for all of us. Definitely recommend the raw oysters if you are into that …very fresh and perfectly prepared. The steamed clams and stuffed banana peppers were also a hit. Some of my family had the NY Strip and one had the prime rib - both were tender and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they ran out of snow crab legs…but just gives us a reason to visit again! One tip…it is a cash only restaurant but they do have an ATM there.

Stopped in passing through and was not disappointed. Food was delicious! Mike the bartender was spot on with his recommendations, had the bang, bang dainties pipping hot, crisp, and the chili sauce was fantastic. The red shrimp were as sweet as could be. If you're in the area stop, good eats and good prices.

Great food, went on Wednesday for the clam special.. got there early, didn't have to wait for table.. waitress was great

Wonderfully affordable delicious menu. Cozy atmosphere, great customer service. One of my favorite restaurants in the WNY area.
