“On our Culinary 🧑‍🍳 Travels we visited the Landmark Public House in Adams Village. We lucked out and found Free Street Parking 🅿️. The Hostess was Friendly and seated us right away. Our Waitress was Welcoming and Attentive. The Beers 🍺❄️🍻 were Ice ❄️ Cold. The Mini Cheeseburgers 🍔 and Cauliflower Bites were Tasty 😋. Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese W/Fries 😋 and Double Cheeseburger W/Caesar Salad 😋 Delicious.
The Service was Good.👍
Recommend Landmark Public House. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Savin came recommended in a restaurant group so we gave it a try tonight. It was my friend and I with 5 children from 4 to 14. I arrived first with my son and was promptly greeted by Brody (who also waited on us). I explained we had 5 kiddos and inquired if a booth was available. He brought us over to a half booth which was perfect. The booth as well as chairs were very comfortable. I asked if we could have the older 2 girls (both 14) sit at the table next to us (they enjoy doing this). He was so accommodating andhappily set us up. Water was brought over for all of us and he asked if we had any questions on the menu. He said he would give us a few minutes to make our selections and went to get the beverages we ordered. 5 minutes later he came back with drinks and asked if we were ready to order. I got the chicken penne and added shrimp. My friend got the buffalo chicken quesadilla. We usually order 2 items and split them. Both were delish and we really enjoyed both entrees. The older girls got the adult portion max and cheese, which was cavatappi pasta with a ritz breadcrumb. They both said it was perfect consistency and enjoyed it. 2 kiddos got the kids size mac and cheese (cavatappi pasta with cheese) and 1 got the pasta with red sauce. Decent portions for a kids meal. The atmosphere was very nice. The music selection was also great and perfect volume. Brody was absolutely wonderful. He was attentive, but never pushy. Service was definitely a 10/10. This was the first time we have been to Savin but we will definitely be back. We felt the check was very fair for 7 people. (I snapped a few quick pics which really don’t do it justice but…).“

“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!“

“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.“

“Delicious food, I recommend the chowder!“

“Dylan made our experience so much fun!“

“Got to have a good cold beer and some great food this past Friday before Participating in the 250th Anniversary of The Battle of Bunker Hill. We came all the way from Roxboro North Carolina. People were friendly, don’t know if it was my Southern Accent 😁 but either way I had a great time relaxing at the Tavern.“

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“classy drinks and awsome servers“

“Exceptional cocktail bar with very entertaining presentation! I got the Lock and Key which was an incredible milk punch with a lovely caramelized pineapple aroma and the Take Your Time, which was a unique old fashioned take that was complemented with savory toasted sesame! My partner got the Squid Games, which was very good as well. Our bartender Emma was very personable, walked us through the menu and helped us have a curated experience, and even provided tips on how to prepare milk punches. Exceptional service.

Price range was very reasonable in the 18-19 dollar per drink range. The atmosphere and lighting were lovely as well. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“I LOVE THAT PLACE, THE WORKERS, THE OWNERS ARE AMAZING PEOPLE. Also food 10/10“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Honestly, from the outside I had no idea this place was going to be such a vibe! Asian Fusion is a superfly spot with a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were on point, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Definitely one of those places you shouldn’t judge from the outside because once you walk in, it’s a whole different story. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Walked in on a Friday afternoon. Bartender was absolutely fantastic. Old Fashioned was lovely. The Picklebacks though were the highlight of the trip. They make their own spicy pickle juice and I’m obsessed with it. I wish they bottled it and it was available for sale. I need the recipe. Best drinks we had in Boston all weekend.“

“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“Once again, another great experience. We will always come back. I'd love to know how the bartender makes the absolute best drinks. I cannot duplicate it, no matter how hard I try. And of course our entrees (veal chop, filet, salmon, and gnocci) were superb. And kudos to our waiter Tommy from NH, he arrived at the table at the most appropriate times.“

“we were looking for a place to train and socialize our 4 month old puppy and came across this place. our experience has been nothing but exceptional from the employees to the dog owners. Very friendly atmosphere and clean! I highly recommend checking it out.“

“Food was excellent - a definite step up from “standard” pub fare. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll make a point to come back!“

“You develop a powerful thirst walking around Boston in the summertime. This is an excellent spot to quench that thirst with a frosty beverage like I did for the first time in 1993 and again today waiting for a delayed flight while watching France defeat Paraguay. The surrounding area is much different than it was in the 90s, but the bar has not changed and is still a swell place to wet your whistle on a hot day.“

“Last month, I had the pleasure of visiting Hecate and completely forgot to leave a review. I wanted to take a moment to express how special that night was. The drinks were exceptional, meticulously crafted, and the bartender, Vikki, ensured that my girlfriend and I had an unforgettable experience.

We were fortunate enough to be seated promptly upon arrival, and the entire staff displayed exceptional care and friendliness.

Thank you all for being a part of such an incredible night.“

“We visited with ~20 friends this past Friday. They handled our group like champs. Food, service and drinks were all fantastic and expedited so quickly. I cannot sing their praises enough. Best nachos I’ve ever had.“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“
