- JJaredVIPGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoJust exceptional on all fronts. Felt well-taken care of from the moment we walked through the doors. Food was outstanding and was coursed and timed comfortably. Beverage selection is extensive and staff members are knowledgable about offerings or easily access management to help with suggestions. Never felt rushed but didn't feel like anything was dragging. There's a reason why Eastern Standard had historically been an easy choice for just about any sort of occasion, and our experience in their new location picked right up without skipping a beat.More infoEastern StandardPrice: Expensive• American• Fenway–Kenmore•4.5
- MmaxwellVIPGreater Boston •25 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoA great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.More infoAlden and HarlowPrice: Moderate• American• West Cambridge•4.6

Discover Boston
Beantown, dubbed for the baked beans that put the city on the map, is about far more than beans these days. Local restaurants channel the region’s farm-to-table traditions and celebrate the iconic seafood of New England’s coast—no trip to the region is complete without a proper lobster (pronounced “lob-stah,” steamed and served with butter and corn on-the-cob), freshly shucked oysters, fried clams—you name it. Hometown to a handful of internationally influential female restaurateurs and the inimitable legacy of Julia Child, who called Cambridge home, Boston will always be a city where liberal sensibilities meet a global approach, in politics and on the plate.
