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.

I had a lovely father daughter dinner with my 13-year-old. The food was prepared perfectly. It was delicious. The menu was full of great choices. I had the oysters and the sirloin steak. Both were perfection. My daughter had the hamburger and the shrimp cocktail. Also both perfect.

We really enjoyed our meal at Eastern Standard. The service was impeccable, universally warm and friendly, and knowledgeable. A++ The food was also very good. My husband’s Caesar salad was “awesome” - very cheesy and generous, and his steak frites was tender and flavorful with excellent frites. My salt cod fritters were stylishly presented and the Saturday special short ribs were delicious with outstanding potato puree and sauce.

Everything was great! The food and the service were amazing! The only negative thing I have to say is that the music was way too loud and it was packed in there, so there was a lot of noise.
