Best Lunch Restaurants in Beacon Hill

Fantastic food, fantastic service. From when we were so warmly welcomed into the restaurant until we left (not able to eat another single thing!), everything was next level. I am grateful that 75 Chestnut was open, keeping in mind that the staff weren’t able to spend (as much) time with their own loved ones as they were taking care of us.

We went for the Fixed Price Thanksgiving meal. They were very busy! But everything was top notch, especially considering that every table was full. We'll come back at a quieter time.

Almost every restaurant has some level of inconsistency, but this restaurant is pleasingly surprising despite changes or minor adjustments.

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.

It had been 9 years since our last experience at Toscano and last night did not disappoint. Katie was amazing, as was the food. Toscano is one of those places that (almost) makes me wish I lived on this side of the country. Don't hesitate, just go!
