Best Historic Restaurants in Boston/New England

Kerin at front desk was very gracious ! Had dinner in the Rose Bar with Connor the bartender, who was awesome with drinks and recommending gluten free dishes. Had a great meal from start to finish ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.

Had brunch with friends. The restaurant has a nice ambiance..soft lighting, exposed brick, wood floors. The service was excellent as was the foid. I had the smoke salmon avocado toast which was delicious. My friends had veggie omelette, crabmeat hash, prosciutto benedict and coco pancakes. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The cocktails were great too. I highly recommend Estella.

What made our experience at Contessa extraordinary was our waiter (Javier)!!!! He was not only helpful with the menu but was very attentive to our needs with welcoming responses.This kind of attention is not the norm in today’s restaurant environment. It would be wise to have Javier train all of the staff at Contessa!!! Thanks Javier for a wonderful experience. We will be back. Frank Rich

This was my first time dining at Union Ouster House. The service and the food were absolutely outstanding. We had the shrimp and scallops, poor man’s lobster, grilled salmon, and the fisherman’s platter. Every thing came out perfectly. Most people do not realize how much the cost of buying seafood has gone up. For these times the prices were fair some people may disagree.
