Best Fun Restaurants in Fenway–Kenmore

This was our first visit to Eastern Standard since it has re-opened in its new location. It's a large space that feels warm and welcoming. We were a party of six so we tried it all... salads, appetizers, mains, sides and desserts. The menu offers something for everyone, from a hamburger for our pickiest eater to braised lamb for the more sophisticated palette. We all loved our main courses (I had the roasted chicken and it was cooked perfectly)..the bay scallop crudo app and macaroni and cheese side were especially noteworthy, as well as a decadent apple cider donut crisp. In addition to the great food, the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back!

The food and drinks were amazing! We all really enjoyed the Christmas drink menu!! Our waitress was super attentive, we sadly didn’t catch her name but all around a great experience!

Second time in and our party of five had a fantastic experience, equal parts food, drink, service (especially waitress with impeccable timing) and ambience. Octopus, endive salad, lamb chops, filet, duck club, burgers - all delicious and prepared exactly as requested, including GF accommodation. A Manhattan heavy on specifics was expert-crafted, sub-zero cold and delivered at the perfect time. Great music heavy on classic indie played loud enough to hear but low enough to talk normally. We’ll be back for sure!

A Lovely, Comfortable little place with very kind service. Shula (I believe) and the team there were all kind and helpful. The Food was tasty and came very quickly. We had The Eggplant dip with Pita, the meat samboosas and a Lamb shank over Rice with a tiny side salad. In hindsight I think we would have liked a bigger greener salad to start and more grilled or roasted veggies in the Main Dish but that's us. My husband enjoyed the hot sauce they brought him on the side! we sat in the Traditional area on sweet little floor pillow banquets with a low table set up infront of us. Different and fun. The Mint tea and the House Favorite Cardamom tea were both lovely too!! No Alcohol here which is fine with us but might surprise some if not familiar with the restaurant/menu. A bit bright in the lighting dept but again... that is just our issue we like a dimmer more cozy esthetic. Go and give them a try!

My favorite restaurant in Boston. Unique and flavorful dishes. Always a good time.
