    We came in the night after Thanksgiving night and the restaurant was still fairly busy. It's much easier to park in this area when there's not a Red Sox game going on, and the service is more normal than when everyone is going to the game. I'm much happier with Eastern Standard in their current location and then when they were on Kenmore Square. Glad I returned, and compliments to the architect for a beautiful and acoustically pleasing environment.

    Always a great time here. Took my elderly mother and she loved it. Obviously the view is the draw. Great way to spend an afternoon. We had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque comfort food at its finest. Our waiter Kellen was great and recommendations were spot on. Will absolutely be going again before Christmas.
