New American Restaurants in Boston, MA

“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.“

“We were visiting from the Midwest and stumbled across this wonderful restaurant. Amazing food blending delicious flavors! The chef/owner checked in with us multiple times. Hadn’t read her story until after we ate. So impressed and was happy to support her restaurant!“

“I wasn’t sure what to make of a mushroom pizza with a salsa verde. But the flavors were perfect together and the pizza was delicious. Great service to boot. Went for lunch so a more limited menu. Look forward to trying their dinner menu.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“Great place for date night.“

“I've been to the one in Lisbon so I was very excited to experience a different location! It is very new and looks to be a secret still. It was the perfect mix of chill and just on the brink of busy. My food was great, I went to Poe-lenta and my husband got the wood-fired pizza from the pizza location!“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“Visited again last night - food seems much better than in the past - and of course it is the wine list I come for - best in New England. Couple suggestions - please update the list! - 3 bottles we asked for were no longer available - it is impressive list - but I fear more and more of the bottles are not available. Other suggestion - lighting is very dim (? atmosphere) - so reading the list is impossible - would definitely give wait staff pen lights to give to folks on request. All that said - if you like good food, great wine, and very good service - great place to go to.“

“All around an excellent experience. I'm not sure how I didn't know about this place sooner. It is a small and intimate experience. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is not stuffy but welcoming and homey.

They easily accommodated our allergies and dietary restrictions and the menu was excellent. Far better than some of the other Michelin started restaurants we have been to. It definitely worth the money. I can't wait to go back!“

“Had dinner at Lucy's while adventuring and it was hands down incredible! Everything was outstanding. The staff, the food, the environment, right down to the ice cold water and beer! 🤣 I will definetly be going again, because I wanted everything on the menu! Thank you Lucy's!“

“We went to Wink and Nod during Chef Valentine's time, along with it being my honey's birthday! We found parking easily b/c it was sunday! lol

The food was amazing! We had the Curry Goat patty (SO good) the oxtail pasta, jerk chicken and regular fried wings.

Our bartender, was pleasant and made us tasty cocktails!

We hope to make it back before Chef Valentine's menu ends on October 11th!“

“Fabulous evening. I made my reservation a month ago and was surprised when we were seated in a faraway corner on the lower level. We asked to move upstairs and the host gladly accommodated us. Our server was attentive and friendly and made great recommendations. Calamari was a little salty, but everything else was perfect! This is always my favorite pre-ballet spot. A nice espresso martini is just right to stay awake for the rest of the evening!“

“Dining in a cozy yurt surrounded by freshly fallen snow was fun winter experience for our family. Great ambiance, and the food and service were exceptional. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable outing!“

“It is not my practice to be critical and write a negative review, but I was enjoying my evening until we were asked to vacate our table after being there for only an hour and 40 minutes. My reservation was at 6 PM and at 7:38 we were told that we need to leave the restaurant. This definitely has left me with a very bad experience. I recall a time during Covid when there was a limit on a reservation, and that was quite acceptable but on a Wednesday night in October 2026 I was quite shocked when we were told it was time for us to leave, especially when I noticed some empty tables around us. Very disappointed“

“I’ve now been to moxies in seaport a couple of times for dinner/drinks, and I can say that overall this is a great place to spend a night out with friends. All of their food options I’ve had have been incredible (nachos, lettuce wraps, burger to name a few). All of the martinis I’ve had have been excellent, but smoked rye drink is my favorite. A little expensive ($20/drink, apps are $20-30ish) but it’s a prime spot in seaport so it’s expected. The bar areas become a lot of fun late night too“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are soooo good. Especially the Salted Caramel Spiked Iced drink.“

“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.“

“Food was great and delicious and the staff were excellent“

“Came here for my birthday and couldn’t have been more impressed! Carlos was our waiter and was incredible! The food was outstanding — highly recommend the sausage and fennel pasta with chili oil as well as the swordfish. Had the best time and already can’t wait to be back!“

“Food was very good! We had brunch on Sunday (eggs Benedict, avocado toast, french toast, and specialty coffees) and we all loved it. The service was friendly, and timely even though they were very busy! Would recommend if you are in the area. There is a wait as the place is not that large.“

“It’s da bomb. If you are ever in the area, don’t miss it ✌🏼♥️😎“

“This is one of the best Brunches in all of Boston and you cannot beat the price. $34.00 and 2 of us left happy and completely stuffed. I started coming for their brunch 3-4 weeks ago and haven’t missed a week since. At first it was for the breakfast burrito, which is incredible, one of the best I’ve had in Boston. Then I branched out and haven’t been disappointed yet. Hands down the BEST French toast I have ever eaten. Highly recommended this spot for a multitude of reasons!“

“Every time I come in, they are so welcoming, kind, and genuinely friendly. They always greet me with a smile and make me feel valued as a customer. It's rare to come across someone who is consistently positive and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. Great customer service like this is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Thank you, Nayline, for always making my visits enjoyable, and thank you to the entire Dig Inn team for the delicious food!“

“Had a Ball!!! Absolutely wndderfulnstaff and cocktails“

“Great food, great service, and great drinks! Best brunch I’ve ever had and it is located in a great location!“

“HUGE selection of BEER!! Mind blowing. Food was really good. I got 3 different tacos 🌮 and they were all fantastic and creative. My daughter got a turkey club that was big enough for two people!! I could make another post about the depth of flavor and creativity of the tacos. Don’t pass them up!!“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“Great space, great food, great friendly service and great vibe. Whether for dinner or just for drinks it’s worth a visit.“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“Really fantastic staff, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food — honestly one of my favorite spots in Southie now! The branzino is spectacular and all of their vegetable sides are tasty and cooked to perfection. They also gave us a sample of their potato ice cream and I’m still thinking about it. I will absolutely be a regular here!“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“Fabulous food. Great coffee. What more can you ask for???“

“Good food, nice friendly environment. Big bar!“

“Excellent food , atmosphere and our waiter , Garrison went above and beyond to make our experience perfect ! Oysters and clam chowder were delicious!“

“Lovvvved it! Water views make all the difference! Food & drinks GREAT.. but our server Alexa… Was EVERYTHING!“

“We arrived late to Boston and needed a place to grab a bite. Their kitchen was still open so we ordered some food and drinks. The food and drinks were delish. The atmosphere was fairly lively. It’s a small footprint so having a few groups of people in there made the atmosphere pretty loud. Not a bad thing, just a notable observation. Overall the Franklin Cafe fit our need with good late night food and drinks.“

“This was such an amazing experience. Cocktails last night and brunch this morning. Great food and amazing service 10/10 💗“

“This is a mixed bag for me. Tiny place and basic service. I’ve been 3 times, different menu each time. Two of the three times, I found almost all the dishes delicious and interesting (I always have the omnivore menu) m. One time was just bland all around and one dish was very unbalanced and too acidic. It’s BYOB, which I really like (the wine is always excellent, ha ha). I’m so done with QR code menus though.“

“Found this place on a random search and it was above and beyond our expectations. Our server, Makaylee, made amazing recommendations and was extremely attentive. The hot chicken benny with truffle oil was amazing! The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what you’d want for a Sunday brunch. We will definitely be back!“

“Awesome experience for a little hole in the wall dive.“

“Great atmosphere,great food,reasonable“

“Beautiful!! Amazing show !!!“

“Found this place on a whim but SO glad we did!! Alexis was amazing! She was so attentive, nice, and the food was AMAZING! The two people in our party have tried food all over & they’ve never had it as good as here. One more time THANK YOU ALEXIS!! You will be one of the main reasons we come back :)“

“So much fun! I highly recommend!“

“I had the short rib hash, and it was warm and absolutely delicious. It’s a bit heavy, but I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a warm and hearty breakfast!

Also the staff were professional, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was great.“

“Excellent as always. Makings of a fantastic Birthday 🥳“

“We expected to dine in the restaurant for dinner however we were seated in the Bar area instead. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch which is excellent. The Bar menu was limited, but the food was very good. And the drinks were wonderful...especially the Bees Knees. The Boston Cream pie is a must too. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience at the Omni Parker House.“

“Great service and atmosphere. Came here for a quick coffee and breakfast before a meeting downtown. Plenty of room and great atmosphere to fire up the laptop and get some work done. Coffee was delicious. Popover breakfast sandwich was good, definitely much different than a traditional egg and cheese sandwich and I did not think I’d like it after seeing it, but it was tasty. I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend this place for coffee and a quick bite downtown.“

“Awesome dinner! Felt a bit rushed by the waiter however the food made up for it!“
