Went on a quiet Sunday for lunch not realizing it was mostly a breakfast brunch menu at that time. Food was okay, nothing to write home about. Service was fantastic however.
Reasonably priced amazing food, cocktails from a home grown James Beard award winner.

I would not eat at this restaurant ever again, even if they paid me. The food was horrible and a total waste.

The hostess was delightful upon greeting us, the server was very friendly and attentive, and the meal was outstanding!
Stopped here for a late lunch and got the duck fried rice, Brussels and scallion pizza. Great service and food was good. Our waitress Jennifer C. Was great

I stopped in for bite around 5PM, as I've gone by it many times and always saw it very animated. The steamed mussels were good though a bit heavy on the mayonnaise, but a relatively small portion for a fairly steep price; also several of the muscles or microscopic in size indicating that the selection was not of the highest quality. I also had the duck with rice without the kimchi, which was reasonably good but also very overpriced. The staff however was really friendly very professional. I spent over 50 bucks plus tips for just these two plates and without anything to drink.

Delightful brunch experience for the whole family. Everything was well prepared and served, although a bit pricy for what it was. (~$20 for American Breakfast) ) I do wish they had some non-sourdough based bread choices. Homefries were too salty but the eggs were cooked to perfection! Kids were happy so that was the cherry on top!
Its really unfortunate that corey & emily asked me to leave because of my dog whom is trained to be a service animal. After corey told me that dogs are not allowed, i told him that my dog is service dog. Apparamtly he was not educated in discrimination against service animals. He thrn said he needs to talk to his manager emily(she saw me walking into the establishment wiyh my dog and did not stop me. But after corey wemt to her as she wax coming in from her smoke break with all her friends that were asking me for proof that my dog is a service animal. Andi had to edicate emily on service animal law, by telling her to google it, thrn she said she was not allowing me in the bar because i said i was suing them for discrimination on service animals. This was extremely unprofessional on emily's part. How can you be a manager if you are not aware of the laws? Good luck Cunard.

I don’t usually write food reviews, but I have to give credit where it’s due — ever since Cunard Tavern brought in their new chef, the food has been nothing short of extraordinary. The flavors are unique, bold, and unlike anything else you’ll find in Boston. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, perfectly prepared, and served with true professionalism.
Each time I visit, I’m more impressed than the last. Even tonight’s takeout was flawless — restaurant-quality presentation and flavor that rivaled the city’s finest dining spots. Consistency like that says it all.
Cunard Tavern has become my go-to, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic!! We all really enjoyed the good, the drinks, and the atmosphere!!! Very reasonable prices. Outstanding service. Highly recommend!
We had high hopes for this place. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and the mocktails really good. The duck drummette appetizer was fantastic and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Unfortunately, the main course let us down. While my partner's steak was perfectly cooked, the fries that came had been cooked in very old oil. They had a tough chewy texture and smelled off. My chicken parmesan came highly recommended and looked great all covered in a tasty marinara. But after a couple bites into it, I realized the temperature was cool. When I checked the remaining breast slice, the meat was translucent and cold. It was undercooked and I sent it back.
The server was apologetic and tried to fix the mistake. Not her fault at all, but I didn't have an appetite after that so I didn't accept the offer of another entree. I was more worried about getting sick right before our flight the next morning.
The chicken breast we ordered our kid came out very last and it was so overcooked and dry that it was inedible. So neither my kid or myself got to eat a full meal. It would have been nice to at least have a mocktail or two comped for the trouble we went through of not receiving meals. But, unfortunately, only the server seemed to care about our experience, as no one else came to talk with us about what happened.
While the server tried her best to make up for a mistake that was not her fault, the damage was done. We still tipped 20% and reassured the server it wasn't her fault.
Hope our server had a decent night and this place improves.
Awesome food and atmosphere! Awesome drinks as well, Liliana (and I am sorry if I am mistaken her name) made me the best espresso martini of my life. She was also extra kind! I loved the whole experience (please do the oyster festival every year)!

Staff is very friendly! My husband and I loved the atmosphere. The food was delicious! Drinks were great! My burger was cooked perfectly and the fries are the best I’ve ever eaten! My husband had the duck confit fried rice and that was delicious as well. Pig ears were very good! I wish Cunard was in my town!
