The price range is from about $30 to $50 per person, but the reviews speak for themselves.

For a dad who loves seafood, Neptune Oyster is the place to go. The restaurant features a wide selection of fresh fish, including clams, tuna and mussels. Naturally, the eatery is known for its raw bar, which serves up everything from main lobster and blue crab to razor clams and crab claws, but people rave about all of Neptune Oyster's selections, and any entree is sure to please. Father's Day falls on a Sunday, when the special here is fish tacos. Keep in mind that the kitchen closes at 9:30 p.m., so an earlier reservation will likely be necessary.

Impress Dad with breathtaking views of the city from high atop one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city. Not only are the views of the city from Top of the Hub to die for, but the food is amazing as well. The menu isn't incredibly versatile, but the cuisine is award-winning and the atmosphere unforgettable. Try to get here before the sunset, enjoy a drink at the bar, and then sit for your meal. The views are just as incredible at night as they are during the day, but both are pretty special.
