Restaurants near Charles River Reservation

Fabulous. Maybe better than ever? Food was perfect. Service wonderful. Wine list is smart and well curated. Second time in 10 days. I think this is my new ‘must do’.

Wonderful, well-priced menu and a lovely dining experience. In the great Eastern Standard tradition (Standard Italian is owned by the same group), the recipes are innovative, and the meals were beautifully plated and delicious. Cocktails, as always, were a huge hit (Jackson Cannon is a bar legend! And the vesper was wonderfully prepared and served — plus, you may not find a more generous pour in Boston). Try the porchetta and the meatballs for sure; the cannoli were also fabulous. And Nisa, our server, was so friendly and passionate about the dishes she recommended and served. Great experience all the way around!

The food was outstanding, the staff knowledgeable and Personable. The inside was decorated in such a beautiful festive way you couldn’t help but smile when you walked in the door the guacamole was the best ever and the street con delicious as well as an unbelievable Caesar salad with homemade dressing if I could eat there every day.!

Everything was excellent but I would suggest dimming the lights earlier. We sat in the space right before the bar and it was too bright around 730p. The lights were eventually dimmed and it made the place more inviting. Also instead of chairs, i think more bench seating like you already have near the bar would enhance the experience and allow for more flexibility for seating different numbers of groups
