“Came here for the matchbooks which were at the host table and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food! The corn bread with honey whipped butter was DELECTABLE !!! The truffle Parmesan fries were okay but tbh could do with out the truffle add on. Also ordered the lamb ribs and oysters which were good. The waiter was so kind and friendly and helped me make a custom lemonade cranberry drink. We sat outside and the vibes were incredible. Would recommend !“

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!“

“we had a wonderful experience all around on a busy Sunday. The manager, Russ, greeted us with a warm smile, setting the tone for a great evening. we sat outside and Jorge F, took great care of us. He was prompt but we never felt rushed. the food was excellent, the Lobster cones are a great new item. we also had the classic mussels. The grilled salmon was delicious. Russ was leading his team through a busy shift but was able to make time to ensure everything was just right. The best in the Seaport.“

“cool atmosphere, food a dream. my lobster roll with honey/chilly butter delicios.“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“

“We are frequent visitors to the Boston, Capitol, Grille, and always look forward to our time there. For the first time I was a bit disappointed. The bone in ribeye was properly done, but contained excessive amount of fat and very little lean meat. I didn't bother to return it because I was going to address my disappointment in this message. Further, perhaps because of the lettuce crisis, the wedge salad was unusually poor. In addition to the tough lettuce, bacon strips were offered rather than bacon bits. For what it's worth I prefer the bits An aberration, I hope. We look forward to seeing you again in January and hopefully things will be back to their normal high standards.“

“We had a party of 7 and were seated in a semi-private area, near the entrance, behind the host table, which was very convenient for conversation. The food was very good, we tried many different plated from the tapas (crispy potatoes and the sliders were the highlight). We made sure to order the 2 paellas early, because they did take some time to cook. The seafood and the rib paellas were fantastic. We were very lucky to have a great server, she checked in on us often and kept our drinks refilled. The overall experience was excellent for our first time and we would recommend Boqueria to our friends“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Excellent food, excellent service, they had a 20% service charge that they don't tell you about until afterwards, completely unreasonable and pretentious. I would've left more if they didn't leave a automatic gratuity. Automatic gratuity should be illegal“

“My first vist and loved it. One of my favorite Chinese food i ever had. Also had good choices for me as a vegitarian and my friend good meat options. My friend thought there food are little bit more oily but we liked it. Some food items were spicy which we loved.

Since we went for early dinner around 330 on Sunday, it was not too crowded and got our food pretty quick.“

“You won’t find a more delicious lobster roll anywhere!!!“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“My husband and I stopped by here for after dinner drinks and had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. The bartender Juan was knowledgeable and let us try a variety of port and Maideria wines. It was a great experience and we felt like we were in a wine tasting in Portugal. He was very attentive and made the experience phenomenal. The ambiance was also very nice. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone in the area and don’t sleep on the Port wine!“

“its a pretty good place, I really had a nice time“

“We bought tickets for the Sail Boston 2026 parade of sale (7/11) and I was not exactly thrilled we were not allowed to go up stairs to the rooftop section to watch the parade. It would have made the cost of the tickets much better if the pier was closed to non ticket holders, but I understand it's not a private pier. Service was outstanding!“

“Had an amazing meal at Cajun Corner. The seafood boil was excellent — the shrimp were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the crab was fresh and delicious. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and overall excellent. The Cajun fried rice was packed with flavor and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The fried oysters were also excellent, crispy and cooked just right. Great food all around and definitely a spot worth coming back to.“
