- JJacquelineVIPGreater Boston •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe brunch menu was excellent and everything was more than delicious. Our waiter was excellent as well. He didn't hover but often checked in. He made great wine selections. The restaurant was busy but not noisy as there is space between tables so you don't feel like you are cramped and on top of one another. We will definitely return.More infoHarvestPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Cambridge•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerVIPNew York City •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAll the food was delicious. Our waiter was kind, helpful and funny! The decor was a lot but somehow made sense and a total vibe. Highly recommend! We got the pork/chorizo fried rice, tots, fried chicken and haricot verts (a veggie I know). I drank the painkiller and my bestie got dragons breath. Definitely will visit again when I visit!More infoWusong RoadPrice: Expensive• Asian• Cambridge•4.6
- JJaredVIPGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days 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 4 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
- AAllisonWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe relied on the guidance of our wonderful bartender for food choices and were so grateful for her knowledge! The food was wonderful and creative. We also enjoyed the Wine Symposium — a flight of very different wines from Crete. It was a really fun evening!!More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8

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.
