About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Originally opened in 2005, Garrett Harker’s flagship restaurant has reopened its doors just up Beacon St. only three blocks from its original location. Eastern Standard continues to offer seasonally focused New England interpretations of classic brasserie fare, including raw bar and charcuterie, nostalgic favorites like steak tartare, baked rigatoni, steak frites, and butterscotch bread pudding, and some new soon-to-be-instant-classic dishes. Cocktail legend Jackson Cannon has crafted a beverage menu that features an array of craft cocktails both new and classic, a curated selection of wines, and craft beers from near and far.

Please contact events@eshospitality.com to inquire about hosting your private event or large party reservation.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed brasserie Eastern Standard is back and better than ever at the Bower complex. Snag a seat at the oyster shell-inspired bar or in the mahogany-decked dining room for longtime favorites like the baked rigatoni and roasted bone marrow, plus the same showstopping cocktails that earned the restaurant accolades from Esquire and Tales of the Cocktail.

    It was overall disappointing. One of the two hosts, the guy, was nice. But the lady looked like she couldn't be bothered. Our service staff was indifferent. menus were dropped off a long time before they came back and asked us what we wanted. The ambience was ok, I don't mind it. The food was mid. Beef tartare is the only item I would say is pretty good. lobster cocktail is a very tiny portion and the lobster has no flavor at all. Entrees were fine but nothing stands out. Overall very mediocre, not worth the hype.

    The food, ambiance and facility are all upscale and elegant but not stuffy. The staff, however, is the real standout. Every staff person was exceptional; kind, patient and accommodating. Thank you!

    Thanks for entertaining us on a cold and rainy Friday! The Italian sandwich is perfect. Pornstar margarita is a delightful riff. Cicely, Chloe, & Asta are phenomenal. Can’t wait to overstay our welcome again. <3

    First time at the new ES and it was great! Dined on the outdoor patio which is covered (great because it rained!) and where tables are nicely spread out. Could use some greenery or other decor to soften the huge concrete expanse. Service was leisurely (a plus for us) so may be an issue if you’re pressed for time. Each course was delicious and beautiful presented. Especially loved the lavender gimlet.

    Certainly not what I would call an Icon … fine for a pre-game meal given its location perhaps

    I was delighted with our experience at Eastern Standard!! The service was EXCEPTIONAL - above and beyond! Our waitress was wonderful but got tied up with a large party - in no time, a lovely gentleman appeared at our table and offered to take our drink order. Turns out it was Garett - the owner of the restaurant. Obviously the staff were all looking out to make sure that everyone was being helped. It was great! The food was delicious; the atmosphere was fun. Not too loud but a nice vibe going. I look forward to going again soon!!

    I was a big fan of the original Eastern Standard so I was excited to try the new incarnation. Unfortunately the experience did not live up to the old standards. The venue itself is pretty non descript, the noise level is relatively high, the service was mediocre and although the food was pretty good the prices reflect a restaurant with much better service. Nothing was terrible by any means but nothing was great either. In the end I would say it was just ok.
