Stopped in for brunch and had a great meal! The plating doesn't make the food look very good but it tastes a lot better than it looks! The vibe is traditional and classy, fitting with its location on Beacon Hill. The lobster toast was very tasty and filling, and personally I loved the combo of lobster and avocado. The chicken sausage hash wasn't incredibly memorable but it was good! The hollandaise sauce was awesome as well! read more

We were excited about Sunday Supper at 75, and were generally very disappointed. We had reservations, and waited 8 minutes stuffed in the front doorway after our reservation time before anyone acknowledged us (a group of 6, whom everyone had to push through to access the bar side). The food was completely underwhelming. All together we ordered: chowder, Caesar salad, glazed salmon, lobster gnocchi, seafood pasta special, and chicken fettuccine, chocolate chip cookie, and moletm chocolate cake, bottle of sauv blanc. Nothing was seasoned adequately. Scallops were rubbery. Cookie was soup. There was no lava. Truly a bummer of an experience for a decently pricey night out. At least the wine was good. read more

I made a reservation two days before for a Saturday night dinner for 2. 75 Chestnut is downtown in the middle of everything, yet it feels secluded and almost hidden on a side street. I love the coziness and Beacon Hill charm that it has. Only downsides are the big tvs which take away from the ambiance, especially as it gets dark outside. I guess its 2023 and I have to live with it. I got the steak and avocado salad and it was so fresh and flavorful. I usually don't like raw tomatoes but these were too good for me to pick out. I had enough for lunch leftovers the next day. The menu was broad and multiple things caught me eye so I would absolutely come back. It is a nice restaurant but not too fancy/pinkies up, which I like since it makes it perfect for a decent meal without breaking the bank $$. read more

Sat outside and had an excellent meal in a beautiful Bostonian setting First visit won't be my last!

I would leave this as a 3.5 star if I could because this place was just hit or miss amongst our party. I ordered the cod with pea purée, olive tapenade and vegetables. Everything was just a little too cold and not really hot like I would expect for a nice charred looking veggie. The other people I was with really liked their dishes, though. My boyfriend said the lamb was delicious! read more

75 didn't disappoint. Came here on Wednesday and decided to go for the wine Wednesday special. You got to chose a soup or salad, between 3 delicious looking entrees (salmon, seafood pasta, pumpkin ravioli) and 2 glasses of wine for $39. This was a sweet deal that I couldn't pass up. The pasta tasted fresh and the seafood was very good. The salad was a nice starter and addition to the meal. Good service and overall good vibe read more

The food was alright, but ambiance is great. I had the quinoa bowl and everything was just too cold. It would've been a more pleasure to eat if there were some warm ingredients in the bowl. Also their salad add-on pricing makes no sense. Adding chicken to the caesar salad is the same price as the salad itself; so you end up paying the same price as an expensive entree by ordering chicken caesar salad. read more

Very cozy and cute spot in Beacon Hill. I had the lobster spaghetti which was a big portion and quite good. Friends I was with had the crab cakes, the salmon, the seasonal peach salad and the Bibb salad - all got excellent reviews. Our server was attentive and efficient - it certainly wasn't a rushed meal, but the service was great. read more

75 Chestnut was really good! We sat at the bar for drinks and some sharable plates. The service was great here! Between the 3 of us, we shared 2 platters: the Mediterranean Platter & New England Charcuterie Platter. These were especially great for a group with different food/diet restrictions. I personally loved the Mediterranean Platter the most. The caponata, 1 part of this platter was super flavorful, a little acidic which is my vibe. Eggplant is hit or miss for people but this was done so well you don't even know its eggplant. I also had the sangria which was a bit sweet for me but I squeezed a little of lime and it was perfect! read more

Really adorable place but the food was not AMAZING. Decent enough though. -pumpkin ravioli special: 5/10 the sauce was amazing but the filling was too sweet. -filet minon: 8/10 a little over cooked but overall good quality and flavor. -Mediterranean platter: 7/10 fresh but average. -fried cauliflower: 6/10 good sauce but nothing special -skillet cookie: 10/10 YUM dessert literally so so good. Very cute date night spot! Also, a vegetarian's delight. read more

My wife and I were in Boston for a quick anniversary trip. After a long day of walking around and viewing all the city has to offer, we needed some dinner. 75 Chestnut was within walking distance of the hotel and their reservation system had an available table. This is a cute little place nestled on a residential street. If we lived close by, I'm sure we would consider this a regular hangout. It's not vert big, but service was excellent and the warm, fresh tasting meal hit the spot on a chilly October evening. read more

Everything about this quaint, un-pretentious, neighborhood gem that is right in the middle of it all is perfect. We were back in town for the holiday and with a night in the city, we wanted somewhere upscale enough to feel like date night, but casual enough to not "over do it". We're so happy we dined here (again) after a long hiatus. Our server gave us space to enjoy our meal, yet was attentive at the same time. The wine prices are not outrageously marked up. We opted to split a "starter" portion of the caesar salad which was the perfect amount for two. When we asked our server which she would recommend, she was honest and said that the larger portion would be too much if we were each getting our own entrees. She was right. I chose the veal osso buco which was a special for the evening, and I could eat it ten times over. The veal was cooked so perfectly, a fork did the job alone. Flavors were well balanced, and the mashed potatoes and asparagus were all done well. Still thinking about it. Hubs had the pumpkin ravioli that were cooked al dente, packed enough flavor and were a favorite. The vodka sauce was an interesting accompaniment for the ravioli, but the flavors were a good compliment. He wasn't mad about it. If you order the chocolate lava cake, make sure there's more than two of you. The portion is generous, and the cake is rich. This will be a spot we will come back to when we're in the city! read more

75 Chestnut is a great neighborhood spot for drinks and food! We went for dessert and clam chowder, and both were very delicious. The lava cake was not as gooey in the center as we expected, but the flavor was still amazing. If I go back I will definitely be starting with the chowder. read more

It was amazing! I had the seafood stew and the flavors reminded me of Bacalao in Puerto Rico. I love it!

We made a reservation here for a dinner for two, since we had read that this place had great food and amazing crème brûlée. We waited at the door for a bit, they did have a plate for crackers, cheese, and ham for you to nibble on if the wait was going to be long, and you could order a drink while you wait. We decided to just wait until we sat down before ordering drinks. The entire restaurant is a bit dark but the ambience is nice. If I lived in the city I would love to come here for a nice dinner after work, or come with some colleagues for a couple of drinks and vent about adulting life. But it was also a nice place for a normal Wednesday night dinner as well. We were quite full from lunch so we decided to share an entrée which was the seafood stew. We each got a Boston Bibb salad which was so refreshing, the sourness if the apple slices paired with goat cheese and cranberries was a good combination to open up our appetite. The seafood stew was flavorful and consisted of a generous piece of salmon, swordfish, mussels, shrimp, and some scallops. Then we topped off the night with the crème brûlée trio and we got a passion fruit and two vanilla flavors. The dining experience was great, we were very satisfied with our service and the quality and deliciousness of our food. Would love to come back here again the next time I'm in Boston. read more

We made a reservation three months prior to coming from out of town. It was Easter Sunday and to prepare for the Boston marathon we were referred to here. The staff was direct and anytime we asked for something it felt like an inconvenience. We brought 11 people, which is a lot but they had a big notice with our reservation. We felt rushed with staff wanting to take our plates before finished and there were expressions made by staff that was unprofessional towards my family. The food was good but out of everywhere we could have gone I was bummed by how my family was not embraced. read more

I want to love this neighborhood spot, but it's just so overpriced and underwhelming. The food is good, but nothing special. Menu is too long - they need to pick fewer options so they can execute better. Cocktails menu is not inspiring. read more

It is 10 Fahrenheit (-12 Celsius) and sunny today in Boston. In these conditions, the only thing that makes sense is to get brunch at 75 Chestnut! We sat at the bar under the large window with a great view of the historic brick buildings and trees across the street. Kenneth was our bartender and took our orders. I recommend sitting at the bar for and brunch. Eggs Benedict with salmon - marvelous panoply of yum, especially when beer lovers combine it with an Irish Goodbye cocktail. Professional bartenders provide a whole different level of brunch and booze service. If I lived here, I would definitely become a regular here. Food and hospitality is excellent. Such a nice Street and the design inside is great. Highly recommended to sit at home the high seats under the big bay window. read more

75 Chestnut flawlessly establishes an atmosphere of both class and comfort. Cozily situated in one of Beacon Hill's more residential laneways, the picturesque restaurant embodies everything Boston: cute, comfy, and colonial...with the Pats playing on the bar television. While visiting a friend, her parents treated us to Sunday brunch at 75 Chestnut. They made reservations ahead of time, and I'd highly suggest doing the same if you're planning a weekend brunch. There didn't seem to be a terrible wait, but the place was definitely bustling. Their menu was brilliant. I'm often either overwhelmed or underwhelmed with menu choices, especially for brunch places, but I'm sure Goldilocks would agree that 75 Chestnut's menu was just right. Good balance of sweet/ savory / breakfast/ lunch. I hate tomato juice, but my table-mates ordered Bloody Mary's. These beautiful cocktails made me wish I liked tomato juice. You have the option to make your own or leave it to the bar. Both let the bartenders mix their Mary's. My friend mentioned she wished it was a little spicier, and when she sent it back to the bar to add an extra kick, they added chili flakes instead of a splash of tabasco as one might expect. My friend stated that these chili flakes gave the drink a weird gritty texture. That didn't stop her from drinking the whole thing. I ordered the spicy chicken sausage hash; a beautiful blend of potatoes, spicy chicken sausage, veggies, eggs your way, and hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were slightly undercooked. However, overall I was very pleased (and satiated for the remainder of the day!!) My friend enthusiastically ordered the $20 lobster benedict. She stated she'd ordered this in the past, and her only complaint was her eggs were overcooked. Last time, she didn't say anything, but 75 Chestnut ended up comping the dish. She was willing to give it another try. When her dish came, it was beautifully plated with heaps of lobster, but as soon as she cut into her poached eggs, she knew they were overcooked. She was able to pull the yolk out. She sent it back, specifically asking for runny yolks. When the plate came back, one egg was perfectly cooked, but the second, again, was overcooked. At this point, I think she just wanted to eat her breakfast, so she didn't speak up. But honestly, that's where the missing star comes in. Maybe stray from the benedict? There's lots of other good choices. Overall, 75 Chestnut is a solid eatery for a good brunch. Service was good, food was tasty, vibe is casual yet sophisticated. On the pricier side (at least by my Philadelphia standards)/ around $25-30 per person, and parking in this area is pretty tricky. Near some cute little shopping areas and Boston Common if you fancy a post-meal stroll. I'd absolutely come back. read more

This is exactly what I needed my first night in Boston. I had bookmarked this location well in advance of the trip so that we had a backup plan for meals as soon as we landed. I was super hungry after the flight so we dropped our bags off at our AirBnB and headed over to 75 Chesnut. It was a short walk from our place so that was a major advantage. When we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately. Since our bodies were still on west coast time we were quite early for dinner. The menu looked great and it was hard to choose. They had some Mardi Gras specials which the wife was intrigued by. I went for the sirloin steak tips and fries because steak sounded way too good to pass up! The portion was a nice size - perfect for after travel. Enough food to fill me up but not so much food I wanted to fall asleep at the table. Our drinks never went empty but the waiter was not overbearing either. The wife ordered the jambalaya but found it lacking on the heat. She was looking forward to a kick in the tastebuds and felt it fell quite flat. We both opted for dessert to top off the night. I went with the apple strudel. Wonderful. The flaky top was a nice crunch over the yummy, mushy apple and spice inside. It was the prefect portion of food after a day of travel and a pre-sleep. By the time we finished our meal the place was quite packed. Great vibe though. Laughter and chatter all around. read more

Well, let's just say that the Bloody Mary bar is reason enough alone to come here. DIY selection of all the Bloody Mary fixings, in a hearty sized glass. The calamari was decent but nothing to write home (to Ohio) about. Their charcuterie was plentiful with a decent selection of meats and cheeses. But seriously. Just get the Bloody Mary. read more

Went here for brunch. It's a really cute place tucked away in Beacon hill. The food we ordered were the waffles - nothing special IHOP has better waffles IMHO ; lobster toast - everything was great except for the guacamole on it that was on the verge of going bad, I could taste it; crab cake eggs Benny- crab cake had many shells, avocado ordered on the side was not peeled right, so we ordered another one and had the same issue. Service was OK. This place has a lot of potential and maybe brunch earlier in the day is a better idea so that you ensure your avocados are fresh. Lol. Given the mediocre culinary experience, everything seemed overpriced. read more

Very nice last minute find for my wife and me. Restaurant has a lot of character. Service was very good as was the food.

Leaving this place, I knew I needed to leave a review! Impromptu, i made a reservation about 2 hours before, not even knowing their special that was happening! To my surprise they had a lovely Wine Wednesday special. One starter, one entree and 2 glasses of wine for $39 pp. I was interested in nearly everything on the special's menu, but landed with the chardonnay (which usually im a pinot grigio girl, but this was nice and sweet!), coconut shrimp (as per the recommendation of the bartender), and the schnitzel. Im not usually one to finish a meal, i love leftovers, but this... i finished it! It was so delicious. The sauce served with the coconut shrimp was just spicy enough. The apple brandy on the perfectly crisped schnitzel, delectable. The veggies and pretzel served with that as well were such a nice treat as sides. I was enjoying my book, so decided to order an espresso martini after finishing my meal. I am a self proclaimed espresso martini connoisseur, and this one is probably the best i've had in Boston since moving here 3 months ago. The service was great here, i witnessed the hostess clearing, serving, and taking orders which i think is just great, she's a team player for sure! One last thing to note, im usually not noticing this, but, the playlist was great! Natalie Cole, Fleetwood Mac, Lionel Richie. Kudos to whoever made the playlist! Thank you! I will definitely be back! read more

We were struggling to find an open brunch spot, and saw that 75 Chestnut had availability late on a Saturday morning. The food was incredible and the waiter was just as great. I ordered the lobster toast, which was perhaps the best lobster breakfast I have ever had. The coffee was also delicious. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. There was also many open tables, which is a contrast compared to the brunch spots over on Charles Street. Great experience, would 100% return. read more

I've gotta say I was pretty let down after reading a good amount of positive reviews. Our calamari was cold, bland, and well, left a really sad mouthfeel. My cod conversely was overcooked, dry, and lacked seasoning. Season chef... season! And lastly, all of our molten lava cakes had nothing molten about them. Left wayyyy too long in the oven & were not worth the calories. At least the drinks were strong & our server was nice. Probably not going back though. read more

We had a fair visit at 75 Chestnut; the atmosphere was cute, but the food was not memorable. Outdoor seating is at a slant, so hold onto your drinks or they will slide. We ordered the Autumn Flatbread, Calamari, and Pumpkin Ravioli to share. Flatbread was bland, cold. Calamari had a pool of oil it was swimming in (my husband still devoured). Ravioli had a wonderful sauce, but the toppings were off-putting, filling was too sweet. Overall, not impressed for the $100 tab, but Beacon Hill rent is surely not cheap. read more
