After a multi-million dollar facelift, Turner Fisheries in historic and posh Back Bay is back with a whole new attitude. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking Copley Square, mahogany paneling, Terrazzo Italian tile and three luxe private dining rooms make it the perfect spot for Westin guests and Copley Place shoppers alike.

But don’t let the re-do fool you, the focus at Turner Fisheries is still firmly on the fish. Innovative menus highlight local seafood and produce with clean, elegant flavors and presentation. Award-winning chowder and oyster flights are not to be missed.
