We ate here twice in the span of 2 nights and like our experience each time. The shrimp cocktail is a must when you come here. The whipped feta app was good, but I don’t think it’s a staple. Instead, opt for the lobster tacos....Read More

We went to Bostonia to celebrate a birthday. The waitress was very attentive and gave us good recommendations. We tried two of their mock tails and started with some oysters. We wanted to try the whole menu but ended up having the stuff, crab cod....Read More

Hands down, fantastic food and a great experience! We started with the Thai curry lemongrass coconut milk steamed mussels—absolutely delicious. Then came the avocado toast, topped with pistachios (such a creative and tasty touch!). We couldn’t resist trying the classic hot lobster roll, and it did...Read More

Really good meal. Stand out dish was Faroe Island Salmon which was a generous portion, well cooked and with unusual and generous accompaniments of grains, feta cheese and pomegranate. Chocolate torte 10/10. Alcohol free cosmopolitan superb. Great service and vibe.

Although we only popped in for drinks and some appetizers everything we had was excellent. The drinks were good priced and very nice. I don't think they could have a bad thing on the menu after our spread.

We loved everything about this place. The atmosphere is awesome. Only negative are the drink prices, but that's to be expected. The steamed mussels were the best we've ever had. Lobster mac was awesome, roasted chicken. I had the warm lobster roll...Read More

Stopped by for brunch and had some delicious hot lobster rolls and oysters. One of our party members got a Nashville hot chicken that wasn't spicy at all. But other than that, the atmosphere was great, food was great, staff was great as well. Would...Read More

Great service rendered by Karen. The food was delicious. I never had a Mac & cheese as good as that and this was only the side. The lobster roll was at Boston level. We ordered a southwest salad and I can still taste the smoking...Read More

Our server, Kim, was outstandingly professional and kind. Our meal was, without exaggeration, the best we have had in Boston. The clam chowder was also the best we’ve had anywhere. The sweet potato donut holes for dessert are a must-have. Even if you don’t like...Read More

Walked in off State Street with the city still buzzing. The room has old bones and good manners, tall ceilings, dark wood, tile that remembers money and deals. A century of whispers in the walls, right by Faneuil Hall, you can feel it when …
