    Rare Prime rib, mashed potatoes and broccoli.
    Ted B.

    There are a few adjectives that come to mind when it comes to the Winthrop Arms: Delicious food, consistent ly good, affable waitstaff and relaxing ambiance. When it comes to Prime Rib, the Arms is the best bar none. I've had Prime Rib all over the US and thoughout Europe and the Winthrop Arms outshines them all. Lucky for me I live only a few miles from the Arms but I would travel an hour for this meal. In addition to the Prime Rib, the Mac and cheese is out of this world as is their Chicken Pot Pie affectionately called Doc Pies. We occasionally take them home. My wife also sales the veal is amazing. Visiting the Winthrop Arms is coming home for me. It reminds me of the movie Somewhere in Time w Christopher Reeves. The Oak panel wall decor of The Arms is timeless and if you don't look out the window to see the cars, u can easily go back in time to the 40s and 50s.

    Potato wedges
    Liz J.

    My husband and I have heard good things about this place and finally decided to try it and I'm thankful we did. We started out with ritz crackers along with a pub cheese, and then we received a fresh loaf of bread with butter! All for free to start. We order drinks and my martini came alongside a mini pour of the extra. We had potato wedges and meatballs which were amazing, and then we split the lobster pie with spinach and mashed potatoes. Everything was amazing. The service was great (I was even able to call an hour ahead for a reservation) and it was a little loud early on from kids but it quieted down half way through the meal. Prices are completely reasonable! We will definitely be back!

    Oysters

    Last night for date night, my hunny and I went to Winthrop Arms Hotel & Restaurant for dinner- we hadn't been there in a while! On Thursday's, they have $1.25 oysters; they were quite small (it's difficult to tell from the pic), but they were fresh & delicious! Typically when I go out to dinner I'll order a seafood entree, but people always rave about Doc's chicken pot pie, so my curiousity got the best of me and I ordered it. It was SO good! It doesn't necessarily look like a big portion, but it really was- I took most of it home! The mashed potatoes that came with it were quite good, but still not as good as my late mother's (nothing beats hers IMO). This is TRUE comfort food for sure, and I'd definitely get this again! My hunny had the lobster pasta that was on special- the portion was good, there was plenty of lobster in it, and the flavor was great. The only problem with it was that it was quite evident that the lobster meat had been previously frozen. Once lobster meat has been frozen, it changes its texture (not for the better by any means), and that was clearly the case here. Cocktails (not pictured): He had a blueberry martini, and I the lemon drop martini- both were great! Service: Our server was very friendly, but a bit slow considering the place wasn't really busy at the time we were there. Thankfully, we weren't in any big rush, so it wasn't a big deal. Cleanliness: Generally speaking, everything was well kept. I judge a lot of the cleanliness by how well the bathroom is kept, but I didn't use it, so I can't speak to that. Ambiance: It's simple but I like it! It's also nice to be able to smell the ocean air as you come in and out of there- heavenly! Summary: It's definitely a place to go, and we'll certainly be back!

    Quahog topped with bacon! Looks smaller in photo. This is delish and filling!!

    Cozy place - just what I was looking for while visiting Winthrop and dining alone. The service excellent while not being overly attentive (a pet peeve when I'm eating alone - like if I wanted company I'd have it) Any way - the food was excellent. I didn't have room to try everything I wanted so I am going to have to go back and lucky me - they have a st Patty's day dinner! I had the quahog with bacon - simply divine. I ordered a spicy margarita priced at $13 on the menu but was $15 on my bill. No biggie but check your tab

    buffalo cauliflower
    Stephanie S.

    We had a good night at the arms. We had a young waitress who was kind and attentive. We get cheese and ritz to start for free and it was delish. Then, we ordered watermelon margaritas and WOW- they were unreal. I will be back specifically for this and our appetizer, the buffalo cauliflower. It was crispy, had a good sauce that wasn't too salty, and had HUGE pieces with a good side sauce. I got the lobster 3 ways and it was pretty good, the scallops were delicious but the lobster was quite over cooked. I got it with spinach and lemon rice and broccoli- both were very good and the rice was HUGE! My friend got the steak tips and they were flavorful and cooked to her liking.

    I went to Oliveira's in East Boston with my friend for a pre-holiday dinner. We did the buffet for…read moretwo, had a couple of juices, and also grabbed a small plate to go for my partner at home. Overall, the meat was good, which is what you hope for at a Brazilian steakhouse. The lamb is always a hit, but the steak was also nicely cooked and perfectly salted. However, some of the items at the buffet bar were underwhelming and didn't quite match the quality I've experienced before. The cheese bread was cold, and the fried yucca lacked flavor. A few other buffet items also felt like they had been sitting out for a while. The total came to about $135 (before tip) for what we ordered, which felt steep given the food quality and overall experience. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for an itemized receipt to better understand how everything was priced. Service was mixed. The guy carving the meat was excellent and definitely a highlight, but beyond that, the service was pretty meh. All things considered, I'd probably skip the East Boston location next time and head back to Oliveira's in Somerville, where the food and service have consistently been better. At this price point, I might even opt for Fogo de Chão instead.

    Food is good! Steaks, sausages. Salad bars, etc... so many choices…read more Service was also good! Love the vibe there!

I'm an actual customer who manipulated about not a bot from marketing purposes. That is all.... We originally came to Revere Beach for the food trucks... only to discover we'd timed it perfectly to miss them. ‍ Plan B was Drift, and I'm genuinely glad things worked out that way. We grabbed seats at the bar, where one of the bartenders took care of us. The service was outstanding--attentive without hovering, refills appeared before we realized we wanted them, and every request was met with a smile. We weren't exactly running up the bar tab (I think our group had one drink each), but we were treated like regulars. That's becoming a rare thing these days. The food was equally impressive. The salads were perfectly dressed, and the fish tacos were fresh and flavorful, though I would have loved just a little more acidity. A few dashes of Tabasco brought them exactly where I wanted them. Dessert deserves its own standing ovation. The olive oil and grapefruit creation was bright, unexpected, and absolutely delicious. But the undisputed star of the evening was the mushroom gnocchi. The truffle hits you hard at first, almost making you wonder if it's too much. Then, almost magically, the flavor evolves into something rich, earthy, and incredibly balanced. It's one of those dishes that keeps changing as you eat it--and by the last bite you're already wondering when you'll order it again. Funny how missing the food trucks ended up being the best part of the evening. Drift wasn't just a backup plan--it was the highlight of the night.
