    I’ve been to Bostonia numerous times for lunch (I work nearby) but this was my first time there for Sunday brunch, and it was EXCELLENT! Was able to get a reservation for 3, and my friends and I were placed in one of their very comfortable booths. I had the American omelet, and it was stuffed with sausage, bacon, cheese, fried onions…delicious! My friends had the smoked salmon sandwich, and scrambled eggs (a generous helping) with bacon. There was an impressive Bloody Mary bar nearby, but we stuck with sparkling wine and coffee. Our server Kim was OUTSTANDING: she was friendly, informative, and she made a special effort to check on ingredients of one dish due to my nut allergies…her warm manner and attentive service made us feel special and made a terrific impression on us! Thank you, Kim and Bostonia Public House for an excellent brunch!

    Wonderful meal and one of the best restaurants decorated for the Christmas Holiday season with music playing in the background. Sweet tooth Tuesday was shot, my husband and I had the bread pudding and chocolate chip cookie! Excellent, a treasure in Beacon Hill
