DT burger was amazing. Wife liked her lobster roll as well but had a bite of my burger and wanted to trade. Got there right as it opened and had food within 10 minutes of ordering.

What a place! This cozy spot feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, thanks to the warm and friendly staff. The view of the humdrum in the kitchen adds a unique and lively touch to the overall experience.
The menu is inventive with plenty to choose from. The food is flavorful, with a strong emphasis on texture that really stands out, especially in the appetizers where the crunch adds an extra layer of enjoyment.
The attached store is another highlight, offering unique finds that go beyond a typical shop and are fun to explore.
Highly recommend this place for a casual weekend dinner or for celebrating a special occasion that feels relaxed and comfortable rather than formal or stiff.

We’ve been coming here regularly for the last four years. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all FIVE STARS. My favorite is the Pork Milanese for dinner (they do change it a bit but it’s always exquisite), but the steak, the pasta, the snapper, the bread (which is made fresh daily) are all excellent options!

Awesome meal @ Dovetail… Watermelon Gazpacho was incredible; great service, very gracious staff. Enjoyed our meal indoors, went outdoors for dessert.

One of the best restaurants in Charlestown. Perfect place for both full dinner or couple of drinks with snack. Open kitchen with professional servers gave us a good impression of the restaurants.
Mussel with wine was spectacular; it really got along with bread and we ended up ordering couple more side breads to finish the sauce. Fig sandwich was also great.
This is a lively place, and you can’t really go wrong with any menu choice here.

Their food was very tasty, but they do have a limited menu. It also is on the pricier side. I had the scallops and they were very delicious. One thing that did surprise us is that they have no dessert menu. The restaurant itself is a very aesthetic place.

I came to this place for lunch purely because of its high rating. But my experience was different. It is pricey and the food is small in size. The lobster roll contained probably only 7-8 pieces of lobster. The salmon was good although. Just now I checked some of the reviews and found most of them were for dinner. Maybe they are good for dinner, but not that good for lunch?

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston for contemporary American and Italian food.
This has been one of my go-to spots for pasta dinner, and I really enjoyed my recent brunch experience here as well. Their handmade pasta has an amazing texture, and I’m especially fan of their fat spaghetti. The local clams spaghetti and the sausage ragu rigatoni are also great, and their minimal seasoning helps highlight their textures. While no longer offered, tomato braised calamari was also one of my favorites as the mix of tomato sauce and lemon was an excellent pairing with the calamari.
When I recently took my friend here for brunch, I was disappointed to hear that they don’t serve pasta, but I still liked all the menus that we tried. Huevos rancheros was a more filling meal overall, but I also liked the coconut milk mussels that came with fragrant Thai spices and an interesting kick from the chili.
Since they don’t take reservations, the wait times are usually around 30 minutes for dinner, but they’re certainly worth the wait. The wait times are definitely shorter for brunch, but I would highly recommend trying their dinner menus first.

Terrible breakfast burrito. Almost whole potatoes, a film of egg, brown avocado and packed in beside the fresh salad leaves which were wilted by the time we got it home to eat and $18 for the privilege.
N’duja toast was fine. More anchovy than n’duja

Go for: A place to take your out-of-town friends and family when you’re showing off the most interesting, off-the-beaten path spots in the city.
Avoid if: You have limited access to a car and hate fighting for a parking spot, and/or don’t want to walk from the T.
Something surprising: They do takeaway orders for the business crowd.
Reservation needed? Yes, definitely.
Overall Experience: 3/5. As much as we wanted to love this restaurant, it was kind of a pain to get to, difficult to find and pay for parking, the service was so-so, and then you pay eye-watering prices for dishes you can get for 2/3 the price elsewhere in the city at a similar standard of preparation ($46 for a couple of seared scallops? Really?). The historic location and the decor were great, the food was tasty, and it’s a great refuge on a cold and rainy day along the harbor…but we won’t be going back.
