    Burger, salad and a beer for a great lunch.
    Steph L.

    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!

    Short-Rib Breakfast Poutine
    Cherlin N.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Went with a group of friends on a Friday night, place was packed. The service was ok the food was also ok but a bit pricey which is to be expected due to location State St in the financial district. Might come back in the future we'll see!

    clam chowder & oysters
    Morgan B.

    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.

    BPH Clam Chowder
    Hunter C.

    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.

    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! The staff is kind and professional. I'll definitely be back here soon! The upstairs is a great event space too.

    Definitely a must order!

    Came here Sunday brunch. Ordered the signature Bloody Mary. I built it big enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Great lobster roll and clam chowder as well! Super chill environment yet it was very nice. We sat at the bar close to the Bloody Mar

    Burger and fries
    Eugene C.

    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.

    Autumn Wedge
    Christopher J.

    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.

    Short-rib Breakfast Poutine and a side bourbon-glazed cinnamon roll
    Courtney P.

    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.

    Joe P, where do I start. From the second I walked into this blessed tavern your service created the most pristine dining experience of my life. A lobster role of most lustrous quality A tiramisu that could bring an Italian to their knees That little purple tie I love you Come to my home and live in my basement, I pay well

Their menu online looked great and we were able to walk in with no reservations early on a Friday night, although they were starting to fill up more as we left. The crab cake was delish & my baby devoured most of it. The salmon salad was tasty but the salmon itself was very salty, salt was literally all I could taste. The lettuce was very crisp and fresh and everything else was good so I didn't feel the need to complain also with the consideration that the chef intended to make the salmon salty to pair with the rest of the dish. The vibe was nice, a bit elevated. My server Michael was great! I would definitely order the crab cake again and try many other items on the menu that all looked superb. Thanks Moxies!

It was a Sunday night and we didn't feel like going far for a meal. That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.

Lastly, the hostess and waiter were excellent in taking care of us while dining.
