Our server was top-notch,very attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion.

Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Fabulous atmosphere, great food and friendly colleagues.“

“George was such a pleasure to meet! We stopped in and tried the burger, chicken sandwich, tacos, and General Gao's chicken with rice—and every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. To top it all off, his decadent banana pudding was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. You can truly tell he cares about his customers and the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back!

“excellent food great service“

“Best brunch spot ever!!! Highly recommend!“

“The food and drink were awesome, restaurant was clean and organized, service was fast and great, and Marcy is the best!“

“Never thought a mom and pop shop at the southern part boston, amidst all the chaos, I would find such homely feeling given to me through comfort and food from my motherland. Throughout my whole experience at fiskies, i have been taken care of as if I was family.

Cannot recommend this enough. 10/10“

“Their Italian Sandwich -- BEST EVER! The bread was outstanding, meats were top shelf and the special sauce put it over the top!“

“Went before a show at Leader Bank Pavilion (2nd time doing that). Perfect location for that and the food is very good here, but for a somewhat upscale place that is a more pricey pre-concert option than most in that area, I thought it took a long while before anyone came to our table when we were first seated, and it took too long to follow up after meals were served (and something was in fact missing from my order) and drinks were left on empty too long IMO. Basically, our waitress was either over extended or not very good. For what amounted to ~$100/person incl tip, I thought the service should have been better.“

“My go-to spot was too busy for takeout tonight, so I tried this place. I must say their steak tips were amazing and I now found a new go-to place! Delicious!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

“Fun night bowling, having hors d’oeuvres and Cocktails, the food was Devine. Inviting atmosphere, impeccable surroundings. Service with a smile. I recommend if you are ever in the area stop in and stay awhile. There is a full bar!! Entertainment: bowling and video games. Even if you decide to have cocktails at the bar, sit in the lounge with friends, catch up over drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Guaranteed to have a fabulous evening.“

“Fresh, local, delicious! Will be back! Great service! So yummy!! Hubby's new fave restaurant, super fresh!“

“I'm originally from just outside New Orleans, LA. Came here with a friend and was all too curious that they had Jambalaya on the menu. I cannot stress this enough. Order the Jambalaya. It reminded me of home.“

“Came in from the Midwest on a Wednesday morning and needed to grab lunch. Somehow we decided this was the place to go and we did NOT regret it!

We don't have fresh seafood at home so we ordered food that we wouldn't normally be able to enjoy. Yeah, yeah, lobster is a little spendy, but it was awesome! The lobster BLT was legit!! Dungeness crab appetizer? Also awesome. And why not indulge in a Boston beer while we are at it.

The kicker was the staff. Nate was friendly and answered all of our dumb, Midwest questions. Chatted for a bit and made suggestions. Apparently the owner is his dad. Super nice guy as well. Both of them were welcoming and super friendly. Thank you guys both for kicking off our trip on a very positive note!“

“April’s II is a wonderful restaurant with a very friendly staff, great food with huge portions and reasonable prices. Special Thanks to Yulana our very friendly waitress.“

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

“Good service. Cool atmosphere.“

“Angie was great! We definitely recommend this place. Food was amazing and the mimosas were great!!!“

“It was amazing, 5 star rating for the food and the service. Looking forward to coming back again soon!“

“Wow! This bar is absolutely magnificent. Milkie and Billy have the best, yet vibrant energies around as bartenders! I really recommend it.

Only downside, though, is that fries aren't included with burgers and you would have to pay separately.

Beers are $9-10 per pour, but that ain't stopping me from enjoying a Guinness. Not sure about cocktails. The atmosphere has such 80s-90s vibes that it makes you feel very comfortable. There are regulars here, but that won't even stop you from having a good time.

Milkie and Billy are so kind, and willing to hear you out. Looking forward to coming back again!“

“Random drop-in made our night.“

“This is an amazing place to host a party! The entire staff was fantastic! Beautiful room and delicious food!“
