Our team at Suffolk University has had the pleasure of hosting two major graduation celebration events at Bostonia Public House, and both experiences have been nothing short of extraordinary. While the beautiful venue, incredible food, and attentive staff certainly deserve recognition, the true reason these events have been so successful is Rob, the Events Manager! From our very first conversation, Rob has been an absolute professional and a genuine partner in every sense of the word. Planning large-scale celebrations can be complex, but Rob makes the entire process feel effortless. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event exceeds expectations. His commitment to hospitality is evident in everything he does. He took the time to understand our goals, our students, and the significance of these celebrations. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and warmth so naturally. The Events Team and staff reflect this standard. Every member of the team has been welcoming, accommodating, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Our graduates, families, faculty, and staff consistently leave talking about how wonderful the experience was, and that is a direct reflection of the culture of hospitality Rob has cultivated. If you are considering hosting an event in Boston, I cannot recommend Bostonia Public House highly enough. Ask for Rob...you will quickly understand why he is such an incredible asset to the organization! His dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients set the gold standard for what event hospitality should be. We are already looking forward to being back next year. read more

Delicious, every single dish (6 different ones) were really good! Lobster Mac incredible! Chopped salad - delish! Fish and chips - awesome!

Ate here for breakfast. My friend accidentally insulted the waitress by criticizing her opinion of "the best thing on the menu". Not only did she not kick us out, she proceeded to help him understand how a bloody mary should be constructed. She might have thought he was special. Stern, but fair. read more

Came here with Laura Maryann was our server - super friendly, welcoming and attentive. OMG Patrick was top notch. We observed him all night busting his ass ; helping the servers, the kitchen line, the hostesses, etc. He was the star. Upon entry, I observed a pack house on a Wednesday. Was told the wait for a table was 30 mins or so. We grabbed drinks at the bar before hand (whiskey sour and something called goombay for Laura). Drinks were great - we tried a variety from the whiskey sour to the new tradition (I added alcohol) Everything was amazing The wings had a nice kick to it and the crab ragoon was top of the line Would return a million times and would return before we leave. Xoxo read more

Food - absolutely amazing. The hot lobster roll is probably one of the best in Boston. Butter, packed to the brim with meat and fries as a nice touch and not over complicated. Highly recommend. Service - while we were seated immediately as a table of 6, the service was definitely lacking. We had to call a food runner to get our server as we were waiting for a hot minute in the beginning. Also, no water refills until we got the check and were ready to leave. We sat outside under an umbrella and it was an absolute vibe. Only giving 4 stars due to lack of service. Otherwise, great restaurant and stop! read more

I wanted to love it more... but our meal was just ok. We ordered charcuterie, and while the meats and accoutrements were very good... it needed cheese, but that had to be ordered separately. I didn't like the choice of either or. My chicken sandwich was ok... very small chicken breast, and my wife's was bone dry. The aioli was very good. Maybe we ordered the wrong items, but probably not on our list of spots to return to. We did have excellent service, and the bar is certainly a fun atmosphere. read more

It was a nice day so we took advantage of Bostonia's outdoor patio seating. Great view of the local architecture and people. SERVICE: Great! Our server was outside frequently checking on us and got us our food and drinks quickly. Very friendly! FOOD: Our lobster rolls were very tasty and the food was very fresh. We got a free Arnold Palmer by mistake and it tasted great too! Had a great time here...would try again when I'm here in Boston. read more

Stopped in on a Monday for a burger and a beer, and was delighted by my experience. Had to sit at the bar because the place was pretty mobbed, but that was ok. The burger came with bacon, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a wonderful aioli sauce (I skipped the cheese), and it was cooked to perfection. Had the side salad, which came with a nice vinaigrette, and it was very good. Had the Lamplighter beer on draft and it was so refreshing. If we're in the area again, we will be back! read more

Across the street from the Custom House. Cool casual breakfast place also serves lunch. They have a lot of bar space and seating. The Lavazza coffee tasted good. The service was quick with many people in the restaurant. They have interesting breakfast options. We enjoyed the short rib poutine had an excellent Gruyère melted cheese pull. It tasted a bit like French onion short rib over tater tot's very savory would order again. The popper breakfast sandwich was also very good. It had herby cream cheese, Serrano pepper, couple eggs, and sausage and cheese on English muffin. read more

First impression, hostess were not friendly. First visit was to grab a few appetizers and give it a chance with no reservation, got seated by the restroom. The server was really nice and attentive to our needs and requests. Ordered Korean short ribs, tuna tataki and clam chowder, very large portion for the price, great quality, all under $80. Second visit, made a reservation for a Saturday brunch at 1pm, same hostess, this time we were greeted with a smile and seated near a bar. Server was a little confused when I ordered a spiked match latte, from the menu, asked to take the menu up to the bartender. Apparently she didn't know about the new drink item? The short ribs poutine breakfast was good, the classic Benedict, not so much. The sauce was so sour on one and too salty on the other, English muffins were hard as a rock. Thumbs down on this. read more

Definitely not a tourist trap restaurant. Enjoyed the crab dip as an appetizer followed by the famous lobster roll served warm. Watermelon refresher was excellent. Great service and ambience. I do recommend this place. read more

We met some friends at the Bostonia Public House while in town on vacation. They decided to make a reservation for brunch and due to our Uber being late, we showed up 15 minutes past our reservation time. Luckily, our friends are type A and were on time to hold our table. We squeezed into a booth near the bar and was greeted by the kindest server. We saw a bloody Mary bar nearby and definitely inquired. Per the server, it was a build your own bloody Mary bar - which included all of the fixins you could ever dream of. While I wanted to try it, I decided to order a regular bloody Mary because I wanted to actually eat breakfast too. I ordered the eggs benedict and it was delicious. The biscuit that it was on was soft and the egg was made to perfection. I love breakfast potatoes and got them extra crispy, which was the right move. My husband, on the other hand, ordered the bloody Mary bar. When I tell you that he maximized that - I'm not kidding. This blood Mary had celery, shrimp, mini burgers, chicken tenders, and ribs on it. Needless to say, he did not order anything. This place gave off a cool industrial vibe in the middle of downtown Boston. The food was really good too! I'd like to try to come back and see what lunch is like, but if you're in the mood for brunch - this is definitely the spot. read more

They brought out really quality nibbles for our event. It's cozy, it's cool, and the drinks are great. I ordered some fruit moon drink. Harvest moon? Excellent. SO good I ordered a second!

Had a delicious lunch here last weekend! The food was amazing, and portions were great for lunch. Although definitely very seafood heavy, I opted for a hot chicken sandwich as my main and was not disappointed. My boyfriend also had great things to say about the clam chowder. We shared a half-dozen oysters, and they were extremely fresh. The service was a bit slow considering the place wasn't too busy, and our interactions with the hostesses and servers were a bit awkward--they didn't take much initiative to ask how we were doing (different vibe from many restaurants in the area). Overall, would definitely return for a great lunch. read more

I was in Boston and I decided to give Bostonia Public House a try after hearing many great things about it. With that known, I started things off with their New England Clam Chowder. Having said that, the clam chowder was delicious. To explain, the chowder was creamy, rich, and flavorful. In addition, the potatoes were hearty and fresh. Also, the clams were cooked perfectly. It was a top tier clam chowder. After that, I ordered a hot lobster roll with fries and the results were great. To breakdown, the lobster roll was very good. The lobster was tender, delicate, and fresh. Likewise, the roll was airy and toasted to perfection. It was definitely one of the better lobster rolls I've had. In similar fashion, the fries were tasty as well. The fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned nicely. Everything was just plain delicious. In due course, Bostonia Public House is a satisfying restaurant with great clam chowder and lobster rolls. read more

Sunday brunch at this location was excellent. The hollandaise sauce is just delicious. Our table had breakfast burritos, various Benedicts, and a short rib poutine. Everything was fantastic. Service was excellent and efficient. A great central location for our family and T nearby. All around great experience. read more

Of all the restaurants we tried in our trip to Boston, Bostonia Public House was probably the best one in terms of quality, although also, the priciest, if I'm being honest. We ordered burgers and fries, Mac and cheese, salmon and roasted veggies. All were very tasty with the Mac and cheese being the highlight of it. For drinks, we ordered coffee and proseco. The place itself was very busy but it wasn't too long of a wait to get a table. The service was decent in terms of speed. The ambiance is fairly classy and has a date or after work vibe to it. The venue itself is fairly sizeable and spacious. read more

We celebrated our daughter's 25th birthday by throwing a party at Bostonia Public House - one of her favorite restaurants in Boston. Events staff was great and worked to make sure all our allergy requirements were met. Food was fabulous, bar gave generous pours and the service from the waitstaff - SHOUT OUT TO JUSTIN - made it a night to remember. If you're looking for a venue to celebrate something special I would highly recommend you book at Bostonia. Their restaurant is also great for a night out to dinner too read more

My friend and I came on a Saturday for brunch before heading to an all day music festival. It just so happened to be her birthday so we decided to splurge and treat ourselves. I decided to order the short rib poutine and a side bourbon-glazed cinnamon roll. The short rib poutine was out of this world and the dish was so massive it was more than enough food for two meals. The Bourbon-glazed cinnamon roll was tasty, although a little dry. The service was friendly and attentive, and my friend's mom even called the restaurant and paid for our meal to surprise her for her birthday. Definitely a good brunch spot if you find yourself in the area. read more

Went here for a team dinner after a busy day in office. We were able to be immediately sat and had an excellent service who was attentive and kind. The food was delicious. The autumn wedge is still in my thoughts almost three months later. The crab Rangoon dip - DO NOT skip it! Drooling thinking about going here again. Ambiance is excellent. Was happy to be there and everyone was very cheerful. Excited to go back. read more

This place is a perfect example of Bostonian dining! They offer a plethora of american comfort dishes that perfectly reflect their east coast environment. Located in the heart of downtown Boston, they're a short walk from Faneuil Hall, tucked in a beautifully historic looking corner that stays busy but never too crowded. Despite being prime lunch time on a weekend and having a pretty booked interior, we got seated right away and the service was generally quick and easy. Our table was upstairs next to the windows with a lovely view of the street. I've also sat outside on their patio, and both options have rejuvenating and exciting vibes to pair perfectly with your meal. This spot was a little pricey (but not anything too outrageous for the area), and the portions are generous so it's definitely worth it. Plus, the flavors and textures are pure perfection! It feels like whatever you order, you know exactly what you're going to get, it's going to be amazing every time. My salmon was tender and salty, balancing well with the lemon cream cheese and the umami bagel which had a deliciously fluffy interior. I love that they serve breakfast options so late into the afternoon, and that they still come out just as fresh and intentionally made as any other breakfast spot! Overall, whether you stop here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the food here is sure to keep you going for the day or evening, giving you the energy and excitement you'd expect from any comfort dish. It's a great spot to bring friends or family, especially if visiting from afar and want an iconic taste of Boston food. Even though I'm a local, I'll definitely be back! read more

The Bostonia is always a good call. I love it here. Never skip the clam chowder and then you need to go right for the burger. It is a true Boston pub experience. Grab a Sam Adams, grab a seat outside. People watch and enjoy a beautiful Boston light. The service is solid. The indoor noise is next level so don't expect intimate and romantic. read more

Went to watch the World Cup finals, great service and good food. Also has a good beer/drink selection!

We walked in and three employees were there and we stood there for minute before greeted. It was kind of strange. We got seated and our waiter came right up to us and took our drink order. He was very attentive and came back a few times to take our order. We had never been here and just flew in. Once we got our food he checked on us. We both got clam soup and salad. He split the soup for us since we were sharing and the salads were a good portion we enjoyed them. Then when we were done, we sat there and sat there and waited. Our waiter seemed to have disappeared. We were tired from our flight and waited. He finally got us our check and we headed out. Overall it was a great food. Service was ok. It was busy when we got there and not so much when we left. read more

I would go back for their salt and pepper wings alone! Don't let the wings fool you with the salt and pepper seeming run of the mill name. These wings have slices of spicy Serrano peppers that kick up the heat nicely. Don't want the heat? Easily can take off the peppers too. The blue cheese had some nice chucks of cheese, don't get that often anymore. They made a really nice dirty martini. I asked for a bit less juice and it was perfect. Service was solid. I'm not sure if it was the time/day we were there but it was super loud in there so consider if you are trying to have any discussions. read more

The host and hostess did not seem to enthusiastic to seat us. At first the host, a male lanky man, said we don't have anything, then the hostess stated, you don't want to wait 30 mins right?! WTF, if I didn't want to eat here, I would have gone elsewhere. There was a wide open table, with everything already set up. I found it strange they wouldn't have offed that to us. We waited about 10 mins and then were taken to the table right next to the first table which was seated 2 mins after we were! Seriously killed the excitement of eating there! Host kept reaching across the table without a simple excuse me or may I remove that! All common sense things that were done incorrectly! It's truly too bad, as the ambient and food were great! read more

Came here before a Bruins game. We were planning to go somewhere else but they were closed for a private event and boy are we glad. Our waitress was so nice and made great suggestions. I had a seasonal martini that was espresso chai and it was delicious. We shared the crab rangoon dip. It doesn't taste much like crab rangoon, more just like a delicious warm crab dip served with crispy wonton. The real star of the show was the burger. It was literally one of the best I've ever had, perfectly cooked, juicy, yummy sauce, just absolutely great. read more

Went here for lunch during our walk along the freedom trail. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I got a burger and the sweet potato waffle fries which were both very good. I've never seen sweet potato fries come as waffle fries so I was very excited about that and they didn't disappoint. I also appreciated the smaller portion of fries that was given because it's easy to over eat something so tasty, so I thought they gave just the right amount. I'd definitely come back again for another bite! read more

Had dinner on a Saturday evening at Bostonia Public House and they were very crowded. We had to wait a little while after our reservation time and got seated at the table right next to the door (not ideal when it is cold out). We started with the Clam Chowder which was okay (originally came out cold but our server quickly replaced it) and the Tater Tot Poutine which was terrific. We had the Hot Lobster Roll and the Cold Lobster Roll - both were okay with the Cold one perhaps being a little better (there didn't seem to be much butter used on the Hot one) The Tiramisu for dessert was not bad. read more
