Eastern Standard

Really amazingly good food in a great atmosphere. It's a little pricier, but still much less epensive than a dedicated steak house and the steak was some of the best I've had in a restaurant. The wait staff was really friendly and helpful, and the cocktail my wife ordered was flat out delicious. I'd highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting Boston.

From the first step inside the front door, I knew this was going to be an experience. My husband and I were greeted immediately and shown to our table. The atmosphere was very intimate. Not rushed, sound level low enough where we could have a conversation. We had water, bread/ butter and a pickled dish on the table within a minute of sitting down. The waitress couldn't of been more friendly and willing to help wherever possible. We started with the warm clam dip. Definitely enough to share for two. It was delicious. My husband ordered the rib eye with potatoes and I had the striped bass with squash and zucchini. The rib eye was cooked perfectly the entire dish was soooooo good. My fish was ok, it wasn't bad, I just happened to like the other dish better. For dessert we had the warm brownie and fudge topped with ice cream. Perfection. Well worth the money and would definitely go again next time I'm visiting Boston.

My friends and I pass by here so often and one day decided to come for late night drinks and food since they are open until 2am. The interior design suits the ambiance so well and delivers a classy yet laid back lounge dining experience. The food is exceptional and the drinks even better. I almost always order a manhattan on the rocks at new restaurants I visit and by far the bartender here killed it as now it is one of the best I've had. You could taste how well they mixed and crafted it, at least to my personal preference. The food was quite delicious for coming at 11pm. The daily dish today was lamb with harissa and roasted chickpeas. The flavor of the lamb wasn't too gamey and the accompaning sauce complemented that flavor so well. The harissa tasted like an upscale take on mashed potatoes and the roasted chickpeas helped give the dish some texture. Overall I was very satisfied with my meal and experience. I definitely will be visiting Eastern Standard again.

Great food, Drinks and above all wonderful Staff.. we were there twice in a week. I have been there before so was well aware of their well crafted cocktail. Last Thursday when I went with husband I mentioned that my son will be 21 in 3 days and I would like him to enjoy the drink here. When we went back on Monday the awesome manager Carolyn remembered. my son asked Esther, our bartender to make something special for his big day. she came up with this awesome drink for him it wasn't on the menu. We had one of the best bread, fries and musseles. we all loved our drinks but more than the gesture to make my son's day memorable. they had a tiny cake and rose for all of us. Carolyn, you are a wonderful person not only a great manager.

I was on the run on a Friday night so I ate at the bar. I heard about their great raw oyster selection and I was not disappointed. If you like the local oysters which have a nice briney flavor, this is a great location. I also had some clams and their Acorn Squash Soup which was very rich and satisfying.The weekend evenings are busy so reservations are recommended.
