Restaurants near Brookline Hills Station

I almost never write reviews, but there is a reason you have to book weeks in advance for a table here. Everything was incredible from the moment we walked in. The staff were welcoming, incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and the food and drinks were divine. We had the pleasure of having Maria assist us - thank you Maria for a wonderful evening! We LOVED the fresh catch in the tomato broth with some bread to dip - oh my goodness, delicious - it was our absolute favorite dish of the night. I am gluten free (my family is not) and they made sure I was accommodated every step of the way. We are looking forward to our next time back as soon as we can get in again.

We had a stellar experience at Eastern Standard. The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktails were interesting (in a really good way!) and the space is gorgeous (although a skosh on the noisy side). But it was service that tipped our night over the top. It was exceptional: our server Jackie was absolutely wonderful. She treated our group so well, and was amazingly attentive, especially given how busy the restaurant was. This was my first time in Eastern Standard’s not-so-new-anymore space, and I don’t know why I waited!

Favorite place. Took my brother in law and his wife and finally tried the American Kobe Cap along with many others. We all took a bite together, and it was like an out of body experience.

This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.

We sat at the bar for dinner, and it was very entertaining chatting with the entertaining bar tender/server. Our food was beyond delicious, each item was cooked to perfection! We started our meal with cocktails and warm rustic bread with goat butter, a luscious spread. We then shared the "GARIDES ME GIGANDES, " "PESTROFA" and "PANTZARIA." (See menu for translations.) Service was very friendly, which we felt was genuine. All in all, a great evening!
