Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Beacon Hill

Perfect, really wonderful staff and a stunning decor!

My group of 4 were seated outside for dinner. It was rainy and somewhat cold, and our server offered us blankets to stay warm. There was also an overhead heater that kept us cozy. The restaurant was out of lemonade and sweet tea, but our server offered a "dealer's choice" non-alcoholic drink which was refreshing and delicious. It was a pink drink that had a sprig of rosemary in it (rosemary happens to be my favorite herb). Everything we ordered for food was delicious and cooked well. The hoe cakes (3 in an order) were moist and buttery. The mussels and clams dish was so good, and the sauce they came in was very flavorful with a slight spicy kick. We also got the mojo chicken over garlic rice and the unc's fried chicken which were very tender. The grilled okra with onions as well as the collard greens were really good sides. For dessert, we had the salted caramel ice cream and bread pudding which were just the right amount of sweet. They serve family style here, and all the dishes were ordered were enough to satisfy a table of 4 people (our server recommended we order 5-6 dishes total). The only thing we thought was weird was the last dish to come out was the collard greens which was just weird timing to finish our meal with a side. Your whole order is put in, so things come out as they are ready to serve. Besides that, the atmosphere was lovely, and the whole experience was great. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make choices for what to order. I am definitely coming back and hope to get seated at a table inside because the music they play in the restaurant is some soulful rhythm and blues.

Another great experience at 2120! I made a reservation for a team holiday party and they were more than accommodating with 1) giving us a slightly separate space so we could celebrate and do a gift exchange without annoying others, 2) understanding when numbers fluctuated even the day before, and 3) helping us preorder appetizers so there was no waiting. Service was excellent and the recommendations were on point. They even went so far as to graciously bring us a trash bag for holiday gift wrap. We appreciate you 2120!

I think this place is a hidden gem. Always a pleasurable experience. Attentive and courteous staff. Excellent menu and bar.

Experience was lovely. Service divine. Sadly the tea sandwiches were “meh” almost stale bread. Other than that - highly recommend.
