Our family dined here on Thanksgiving. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great holiday. Two of us chose the turkey dinner (which was plentiful and delicious). And four ordered filets off the regular menu. We enjoyed appetizers, dinner, and desert. We were not rushed and had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

West Side Johnnies is a hidden jewel near the Boston Garden. Great dinner, at a low price. Great service. No wait, even within an hour before the World Champion Celtics tipped off against the LA Clippers.
