    Beacon Hill Cheeseburger with fries
    Alejandra H.

    My friends and I dropped in for a quick, casual bite before the fireworks this Fourth of July. It was quite busy because of the holiday, but was quickly seated. I split the beacon hill cheeseburger with a friend and they gave it to us perfectly cut with equal amount of fries which was great! My other friend had the chicken wrap and she noted that it was yummy and flavorful, but a bit too saucy. Another friend had the bang bang shrimp and said that she would have preferred the sauce being already mixed in instead of being beneath the fried shrimp. Overall it was a good experience, but nothing super notable. It's good for a quick bite with friends and our waiter was really nice so I give it a 3.5/5.

    Definitely recommend trying this pub out. The service is quick and I've never had a bad meal here. It is small so make a reservation or be prepared to wait. They do have TV's so definitely a great place to stop by if there's a game on.

    Truffle Mac
    Lily G.

    Walked in since ma maison had no available seats. After checking in on Yelp a 15% coupon popped up! We got the truffle Mac. This was actually fantastic. Served two people, peas in it were excellent, the truffle was tasteful and delicious. Dish didn't need anything else, normally I find I like my Mac with more salt and pepper. Two drinks, sat at the bar, had a great time. This is not some cutesy botanical place, that is why I initially thought looking at the sign. Ambience is like a clean and upgraded boston sports bar pub type thing.

    We returned here again for farewell party to one of our colleague. Party of 8. I'm surprised that there's no pulled pork burger in their menu, but I settled for HG burger and it was delicious. Service was fast and their Black Widow's bite is tasty. Looking forward to dine here in near future!!

    This is an awesome spot to hang out for a quick bite and drink after work. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is pretty fast. It's not a fancy restaurant and bar by any means but it has all the necessities, high top tables, coat hooks, big bar, and groups seating areas. The food itself is good. My friends and I opted for chicken tenders, fries, and a hummus platter of sort. The food was fresh and tasty!

    My family and I had a great experience here. Long few days at MGH and stopped here before heading home. Our server was amazing and she had spot on recommendations. Good prices, great food and just want we needed.

    Caesar salad
    Kristine S.

    This restaurant was close to Hospital so we went for a quick bite. Though we wish we had chose one of the other restaurants on the street. I can be a germ phobia so it may have been me over sensitive but when I saw the condition of the kitchen which is across from restroom it really made me feel sick. Additionally the silverware and drinking glasses were given to us dirty as well. The salad I ordered was ok though after seeing kitchen I could not finish it but the French onion soup was bland and did not have a good taste to it. Overall a huge disappointment would have been better off at hospital cafeteria

Brought us upstairs to a cozy booth we like to sit side by side for our meals usually. Our server tonight was Jillian and she was a gem! Very nice, was quick with suggestions when we asked. I grabbed the $22 capital burger, guyere cheese, french onion carmelized onions and shallot aoili. Opted for the upgraded truffle fries +$3. Cooked a perfect medium, fat patty, cheese pull on point, dip with the aioli..... chef's kiss frfr. The fries were crispy, seasoned well, no complaints outside i couldn't finish them after the burger. It is FILLING. The calamari was perfectly crispy with thin coat of batter, large rings and mustache pieces, and chili peppers/ hots was a great addition. Love this style calamari. The lady grabbed the shroom burger and her's was also juicy, glistening..Goodness! Ample, ample amounts of mushrooms chopped and topped! About $70 bucks for the meal plus tip. Happy with our dinner! Oh the pickles in the mini jar were so good the lady asked for a second serving which Jillian gladly grabbed for us!

    We are visiting Boston from Chicago and wanted to really like this restaurant. We were both hyped…read moreto taste a GR burger. Sigh. The Good: drinks were fine. Nothing to write home about, but adequate. Onion rings were excellent. I've never had rings with whatever they used to fry it in, but it was fantastic. Truffle fries were great, as were the dipping sauces. My daughter liked her burger (she got the Hell's Kitchen Burger, sans avocado), medium rare. She's a tiny thing and usually can't eat an entire burger, but she inhaled the whole thing. The Bad: I am apparently very naive - I thought the vegan burger was something they made in house and was interested to taste the combo of veggies they use. Nope. It was just that over-processed, disgusting Beyond Burger, with terrifyingly oversalted tomatoes and lettuce. I have never looked forward to something and subsequently been so let down. I took it back to the hotel because I saw ducks and thought I'd feed them the bun. Service: was fine. He was sweet and was attentive. Ambiance: fine. It was upscale burger decor. I think I'd recommend going once just for the sake of saying I went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. But be aware one alcoholic beverage, one non-alcoholic beverage, and two burgers set me back $100 (including tip). I would not go back again though. It was not worth $100. But at least now I know I don't need to visit the Chicago one!
