“When someone's looking for lobster bisque, I'll send 'em here!“

“Matsunori is a comfort spot I keep going back to. Boston is definitely lacking in terms of handroll places, so the opening of this spot was a win, for sure. The fish quality is pretty good and each handroll is crafted with care (in terms of ingredients pairing). I personally really love the OG miso cod, Eel with foie gras, Mango salmon, and Spicy tuna. All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish).

While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!“

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

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“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“

“Our group of 6 had a fun time celebrating a special occasion at Capital Grille while also enjoying The Generous Pour! The restaurant was very nice. Spacious, sophisticated, and an upscale atmosphere.

A special thank you goes to our server, Bruno, who was absolutely amazing. He made us feel so welcome right from the start and attended to our table frequently throughout the evening to make sure we were having a great time. He was also very funny and conversational which added to the positive experience. Please send our best regards to Bruno for his exceptional hospitality!

The food was sooo good. We started with a variety of appetizers, including the calamari and oysters, which were delicious. For my main course, I had the steak au poivre medium-rare, and it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.

For sides, we shared the asparagus, truffle fries, and the lobster mac and cheese which was the best mac and cheese any of us have ever had! And I don’t even like lobster!

Overall, we had a great evening and cannot wait to return. Thank you!“

“This is one of the most authentic Chinese menu's I've ever seen. If you like intestines and other dishes, this is the place to visit. I'm not into trying those types of dishes but they are available for those that are. They do have many more interesting and tasty dishes to experience as well so please give the place a try.
It does have an interesting way to order that I've not experienced before. The table has a QR Code at the end and each person scans it to see the menu on their phone, which is more and more common nowadays. However, each person at the table get linked to the same portal and when someone at the table selects/adds a dish, it updates each person's view on their phone so the entire party knows what has been ordered. When everyone is done you simply submit the order and your food shows up when it's ready. The food was good and the staff was busy but friendly.“

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

“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!“

“If I could give an extra star for service I would! When making the reservation, the restauant was told that someone with celiac would be dining. The first time the waitress approached the table, she asked who is celiac and talked me through their menu and protocols. I felt completely comfortable eating here as they were very knowledgeable and take precautions seriously. There is also a dedicated GF fryer, yay! I had the thai coconut cod and it was wonderful! Wish I lived closer, I would definitely go back.“

“Great food! Nice indoor and outdoor dining.“

“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!“

“Outstanding burgers ...and chicken clucker sandwich is great! The best onion rings ever! crinkle cut fries and yummy coleslaw! A must try ASAP! The staff is the best as well. One downfall they have Pepsi products! 😜“

“We were there relatively early on a Sunday night. Service was great. Had appetizers and the paella, which was unique and delicious. Also excellent not too sweet cannoli for dessert. Thanks to our server Becca and the rest of the wait staff for an enjoyable dinner.“

“Our first time here and can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone is extremely welcoming! I’m assuming it was the owner that brought the kids an appetizer on the house with a big smile and high fives! HOW COOL! The flavor was amazing! Service was great thank you guys!!!!!!“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“My first time dining in at OTH with my family and parents and it was a wonderful experience. The wait staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating and the food was absolutely out of this world. Everything we had was delicious and all of us were still talking about it well after we left. Looking forward to going back again. Keep up the good work.“

“Little tao is my hidden gem in Boston for spicy food. It has various kinds of Szechuan cuisines. I love the stir fried pork belly with chili. This place also has dumplings. The Taiwanese tradition dumplings is very delicious with meat and beans inside.“

“Probably one of the best meals ever. From oysters to bread pudding! So amazing! A burst of flavor in every bite! Go out of your way if you have to , you won’t regret! 💕“

“The service, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the fresh and delicious flavor of the food ... all excellent!“

“The woman who waited on me and my family was incredibly kind. We have a wheelchair bound daughter and I just hope the know how come the made us feel plus the food was amazing. Save room for a cappuccino and tiramisu!“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“This is place is great you have to check it out“

“Absolutely fine dining at fair market prices. The staff was brilliant, the food well prepared, and the atmosphere wonderful. There's not enough praise that I can heap on Atlantic Fish. We had the whole fish that came with sides topped with a fresh Guinness. Everything was expertly prepared. Dessert was through the roof. Great restaurant, attentive staff.“

“Five stars are well-deserved for this exceptional site“

“The food and the service .“

“Like a previous review, had some time to kill before a Sox game and you had us with the happy hour oysters. BU alum and Sox fan, but was unaware and thrilled to find this place! Oysters were wonderful and the staff was so attentive and friendly. Sat at the bar and had a great time before the game.“

“Great food , great service ! I will be back !“

“Had a great experience at The Banks Seafood and Steak in Boston! I stopped in for drinks at the bar and was truly impressed. Katie, the bartender, made one of the best lychee cocktails I’ve had — perfectly balanced and so refreshing. I also want to acknowledge Gary, the director of operations, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed, upscale vibe with top-notch service.“
