The food: -Cauliflower was great, interesting presentation and the flavor was fantastic. -Steak was a joke, the size of it was absolutely tiny, drowning in the sea of chips. I asked for medium rare and got pretty much well done. The steak would give off a hint if being old- wonder if that’s why it got cooked so much. The sauce was great though, so really just a shame the dish was a letdown through the tiny size and overcooking.
The drinks: -Wine was fine, my wife asked for a dry wine- asked for a recommendation and our server brought something which really was not a dry wine at all, but nice nonetheless. -First of the cocktails left me underwhelmed, I could hardly taste the flavors in it (can’t remember the name of it, it was a little coconut-y (if I remember well) -My second cocktail was similar to old fashioned, and it definitely lifted my spirits after the whole experience. Definitely the highlight of the night.
The bathrooms: - My wife said that the bathrooms were stinky and clogged up, and there was no soap. She was quite grossed out. - Men’s bathrooms were fine, stinky like a portable toilet, soap was there- not in the proper casing but the fill was just placed on the sink; nothing I haven’t seen before in men’s bathrooms.
Overall: Service was nice, the kitchen definitely has the skills, the place must just ensure that the items they get are fresh/they must quit using old, tiny steaks. Cocktail-wise there are some gems (in my opinion), but I understand people have different tastes, so I’m happy because I did find something for myself on the menu. Wine- maybe your staff could do with w tiny bit of training on which wine is which, I feel like people mostly identify them as „very dry/not so dry”- even putting it on the menu could help. It has potential but needs some work done.

Food is never consistent unfortunately. Service is decent. If you go, make sure to check out the roof deck. Great View!

I came here a few weeks ago (late December 2024) when the new chef consultant was on-site rolling out a few new menu items, and it was great. I recently went again and the full new menu looked good, but the food was very poorly executed. I had high hopes that the food would return to what it once was, but very disappointing. On the other hand, the new cocktails are a step up from where they were. I hope the kitchen can figure it out.

Our bartender was awesome and friendly, she only works Saturdays. Food and drinks were good as well. We sat at the bar because the stable seating for two is comfortable and crammed with little privacy.

I only ordered pickup but… never again. At 60 dollars, a burger and mac and cheese should taste like mom’s. If I wanted velveeta, I could’ve gone to a corner store.

We were a big group of 8 that chanced upon Cunard on a Saturday evening for dinner. While the restaurant wasn’t jammed packed, we had anticipated a wait especially when you have a group of 8 walking in. We were told that it will be a 30 min wait and that we can wait at the bar. Drinks were good and after we had waited for some 40 minutes with no sign of a table, when we went and checked about the table again, we were told that there is another big party coming in (first come first serve) so Cunard will not be able to accommodate us with a Table tonight. 40 minutes of wait, we could have been informed about this anytime (we were right there!!!) or if it’s a busy night and taking reservations only, then we would have appreciated if they had turned us down when we walked in. I have personally never experienced such service anywhere. I wouldn’t not go back.

Food took about 30 minutes to come out. Bread was stale, portions were very small and tasted reheated. The coffee was nice and the staff was friendly, but the food quality was not worth the price.

I have a love / hate relationship with this place. I like that it exists, the drinks are good, and the bar staff is great, but they really need to make the bar area bigger! That's where most of their business seems to be, but the bar is so small and there's this huge dining room for consistently sub-par, bland food. Move that pony wall back to expand the bar area and add a couple of high tops or something.

Fim place to drink beer and lunch on appetizers if you're in Eastie (near Maverick Station)
We stopped in late after an evening flight and had just barely missed the kitchen. Thankfully the manager was able to hold the kitchen open a few extra minutes so we could order some food. The server, the manager, and the bartender were all friendly and helpful. Overall the food was satisfying, beer was good, vibes were excellent.

The beer selection is insane. The vibes are unreal, and they have a roof deck looking at the Boston harbor. This place is it. Service a little slow but they make up for it with the beer selection. They have heady topper.
