We always enjoy dinner at 75 Chestnut. The people who work there are wonderful and the food is better than ever. They do a great job with salmon, chicken, steak, and salad. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in Boston. Thanks, 75, for another great evening.

Lots of fun small plates with roots in the south. Favorites were fried chicken, biscuits, bbq shrimp. We really appreciated that the restaurant accommodated our party growing from 3 to 6 at the last minute. Thank you!

The atmosphere at Beehive is absolutely fantastic! Our server Brooke was lovely. The music was incredible and not too loud. The bottle service was a nice touch, however, I would have loved to see a sommelier. I was not totally thrilled by our appetizers but the main course (roasted chicken) was delectable! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

Everything was great, except for one small thing. We showed up half an hour early for our reservation, and they were able to seat us right away. Our waitress was excellent, and the food was delicious. The only problem we had was that when my wife and kids ordered dessert, they asked for no walnuts on the brownie sundae, and when they got it, it had walnuts all over the top of the brownie under the ice cream. They’re not allergic, they just don’t like them. We didn’t bother to send it back, as we had to leave to make a show in time for the start. Overall, very good.

We had a wonderful time at Moonshine 152. We arrived about an hour early for our reservation and we were able to have drinks an appetizers at the bar. The bartender was very helpful when my dad was interested in trying out a few different gins. After we were seated the chef herself, Asia Mei, came by several times to give us our food and at the end of the meal a complimentary plate of raspberry cake tapas style — it was divine. The decor was lovely, the walls were paneled with artwork from Asia and all were available for sale. I also loved that they had two menu items named after Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope (the latter, of course, including waffles). I highly recommend this restaurant!

We arrived 15 minutes for our reservation. There were 2 young adults at the host stand. They seemed frazzled. One was going to seat us until the other one whispered in their ears. Then we were told we would have to wait. So we sat at the bar. Our bartender was polite and attentive. We ended up staying at the bar. Service was good, food was even better. Definitely would recommend.
