This place has such a cool vibe and esthetic...neighborhood yet kitchy with fun antiques and Knick knacks here and there, speakeasyesque (don't think that's a word but let's go with it) with fun drinks and great food. It's basically located in a bottom floor/basement built into a hill on Mt Vernon Street, thus that speakeasy vibe. We shared 3 apps and 3 entrees, our favorites were the cacio e pepe arancino and the short ribs...but nothing was a miss. We loved the steak frites and scollops, and burrata toast was great. My friend had a reposado cocktail that she loved, and my other friend and I shared a bottle of sparkling wine. We were too stuffed to try dessert, but I would def go back to try more! The staff is friendly and very accommodating.
Made a rez on open table for 11:30 brunch - we arrived a little bit earlier but our table was ready! The server came over straightaway to take our water order. We got a bottle of still and it was tasty. I ordered a coffee and my bestie ordered a diet coke. The coffee was good but the cup in came in was tiny. I had to ask for a refill at least two times before I finally got one. That was kind of annoying. I ordered the BLT and my bestie ordered the burger. Each entree came with fries. I asked for the sauce - green goddess - on the side. I used it to dip my fries in - it was pretty good - very unique tasting. Both of our entrees were tasty - we enjoyed them till our plates were empty. We were too full for dessert but they did offer a menu. Maybe next time. If you're looking for a brunch place that has chill vibes and good service, check out 1928. I will definitely be back to try their cobb salad.
Can't go wrong here. My favorite local place. Every dish is outstanding. My personal favorite is the pornstar martini and the steak frites. The atmosphere is dark, moody, and cozy. The staff is some of the nicest in Boston! Looking forward to trying their new location.
Great ambiance. Book lovers dream! Service was fantastic. Food was good. 3 stars however as there was not a single vegetarian option on the menu. This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable at such an expensive restaurant.
The ambiance is unparalleled for the area! We came here for brunch on a Sunday morning! It was great but got busy quickly! The food, first, the brunch burger was good. Not great but good. The reason it was good was because it absolutely fell apart from a soggy bun. A soggy bun wrecked it for me. The California Benedict came without avocado..When avocado is on the list of items included on the menu. When we asked the waiter he looked at his notes to see if it was included. He said it would be right out! It was, the waitress that brought the avocado out kind of put it on the table with attitude. There was no apology. Lastly, given the price of these meals I expect flawless service and execution of food. We won't be returning.
I think I have close to a love/hate relationship with this place, or maybe more like I really wanted to love but I can't. I think maybe I expected more based on the reviews I've heard. It's not that the food was bad, because it was pretty good, but something about my experience felt off. I think for the price point it's at, I expected better service. Again, not that it was bad, but nothing that would justify a $200-300 meal. The tables were also extremely small, which the design was purposeful for the aesthetic, but was very impractical for eating/drinking with multiple dishes and glasses on the table. What we ordered (for 2): - Braised pork belly: my favorite dish of the night, would get this as an entree if it was available in a larger portion - Oyster Rockefeller: amazing display, with the smokiness, but slightly too much absinthe for my liking - Short rib (entree): I didn't try it but my husband really liked it - Pan roasted giannone chicken (entree): the chicken was cooked perfectly and the fried mozzarella was good as well but the dish didn't feel cohesive Would I go back? Unclear in the long run, I think I'd probably have to explore a bit more to decide but as of right now, probably not. (Though my husband would say yes, so this is just one girl's opinion, but hey the wife is always right )
SO delicious. With a Caesar salad to start, it was a great jumping point to dive into our Steak Frites. They were covered in the most delicious mushroom sauce and paired with the crispiest French fries. Our server was very attentive, and did his best to navigate the crowded restaurant and bar next to our seats. This was the only downfall of our experience was that the bar was so incredibly loud from overloading patrons it was hard to hear. The service was great overall and even provided a complimentary champagne toast as we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary! We've already been recommending this place to family and friends and can't wait to return to try more on the menu.
Overall a great experience by spare no expense! It's definitely a great date night and celebration spot. My husband booked the reservation and told them it was our anniversary and they brought over complimentary champagne for us. It was one of those things where we knew we were going to have a great experience! The tuna crispy rice was phenomenal and I salivate just thinking about the black garlic emulsion that was on the plate. I thought my short rib and parsnip dish was one of the stars of the night and truly enjoyed each bite! My husband enjoyed his scallops although he wished there was just a little bit more risotto and no grapes. We ended the night with the sticky toffee pudding and man we could've eaten like five of these it was so good! Definitely check them and their new location out if you're looking for a good meal in Boston!
1928 Beacon Hill Cafe is such a cozy hidden gem. The space is charming and relaxed, perfect for a coffee break or casual bite. Everything tasted fresh and well-made, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. A great little neighborhood spot that feels warm and inviting -- I'll definitely be back.
Booked this spot in beautiful Boston to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & was highly disappointed with our overall dining experience. It is a beautiful & timeless restaurant, but it fell flat for that something special I was hoping for. Service was messy and unorganized, many times the servers were serving the wrong dish to the wrong person, and we'd have to move our own plates out of the way because service was not paying attention to the details. Servers weren't particularly friendly or warm, either. We had two children in our group of nine, and the options for them were nothing great. I would have liked to see a shrimp dish, and something with fresh vegetables. I had hoped this restaurant would have taken in consideration our celebration anniversary dinner, as I had noted when I reserved this location weeks prior, but they barely acknowledged our celebration. When paying our overpriced bill, our waitress mentioned, "Oh, you're celebrating your anniversary, right?" Gee, thanks for making us feel so great about choosing your restaurant to spend this momentous occasion! Additionally, I noticed they sat us in an uncomfortable corner and right next to another large party instead of a table that was in the same room with a little more privacy that was the same size as ours (and was empty the entire night!) The food was just okay. I had their short rib dish and the potatoes & carrots were too sweet. The short rib was tasty, though! Others said their dishes were good, or "okay." Sadly, I walked away unimpressed with our 30th wedding anniversary celebration dinner and felt bad that I chose this spot instead of others I had found on Yelp. Missed opportunity here for this restaurant staff. Management needs to be better at planning, especially for people traveling to Boston & coming in from all around the globe to celebrate something. (We came in on May 26, 1996 at 6:15 PM.)
Wow Wow! Amazing! (12/5/25). We were celebrating my friend early Birthday. We were lucky that a party of 2 was leaving so we could sit at our favorite bar spot. Our Bartender/Tom was Amazing along with his colleague. We started with the amazing Clam Chowder (sorry I didn't take a pic) then another great appetizer. The Octopus My Lord Awesome . Wow we both had the Entree Short Rib... OMG Delicious. Because it was his Birthday Celebration ended with the Key Lime Pie. We dressed in Outfits of The 20's. Such a Fun Night. Thanks 1928. Hope they know how Amazing they are. **********Yep 10 *'s.
This place is a whole vibe!! From when you arrive outside the decor is cute and quaint, and then you step into what feels like a speakeasy vibe! The decor, the bar everything is thoughtfully curated. They do have a coat check so ++ there! We were seated in the cozy corner, and our server was very attentive. They had festive seasonal cocktails, and extensive wine list which we enjoyed. The arancini to start was delish! I got the tuna tartare as my meal, flavor was spot on, I wanted more! One of my friends got the bolognese and then other for the steak frites. Everyone finished their plates clean. HIGHLY rec putting this on your list to dine at in Boston.
My boyfriend and I went to 1928 to celebrate our six year anniversary and absolutely loved it. It's a small restaurant with dark and cozy intimate vibes. There is a cute bar space and the restaurant seating is tight but still comfortable. For drinks my boyfriend had the 1928 Espresso Martini (which is tequila not vodka) and Pino Noir, which were delightful. We started off with the fried cauliflower and shishito peppers which got us really excited for our meal. It was packed with flavor and hit the spot. For our entrees we got the steak frites and the 1928 burger, both phenomenal and perfect portions. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and chocolate cake. The crème brûlée was top three I've had and the chocolate cake was rich and delicious. I did want to note that the menu online seems to be slightly different from the online menu. As for our service, our waitress was attentive and kind. Our only disappointment of the night was that although we included anniversary as "special occasion" on our reservation, it wasn't acknowledged by the restaurant. We say this because our waitress acknowledged the table next to us for their special occasion. Regardless, our experience at 1928 was spectacular and we left full and happy. We would most definitely return.

We visited here with a reservation time for 9PM on a Sunday evening, after a concert nearby. Arriving in the area, we didn't know what to expect, so from the outside, we thought our rideshare dropped us off in a neighborhood, but this place is down some stairs in a rowhouse - very cozy! Walking in, it's cute, nicely decorated, and cozy! We were quickly greeted and then sat. We were there for my birthday and when our server walked up, she had two glasses of bubbles, which was a very nice surprise and wish me a happy birthday! The menu is loaded with many appetizing options and the food we saw on nearby tables helped us confirm that they know what they're doing in the kitchen here! We started by splitting a bowl of clam chowder. Our server had this brought out in two bowls, even though it was a split and it looked fantastic! The first taste was great! I loved the essence of bacon and smokiness in that spoonful. The potato's texture was great, soft, and not over-cooked, but loaded with flavor! The thickness of the chowder's soup was exactly what I expect from a traditional New England Clam Chowder. Definitely one I enjoyed! Next up was the swordfish for my wife and the pappardelle for me. Both looked amazing when they came out. Wife said her swordfish was one of the best she's ever had. It surely looked outstanding! My pasta was incredible! A very rich bolognese, which was clearly stewed down and was amazing! The whipped ricotta on top when mixed in helped make it creamy too - definitely amazing!! I was stuffed from what we enjoyed so we couldn't stay for dessert, but we did love everything we had. Service was great and friendly too. Definitely would return! read more
My wife and I took our son and youngest daughter out for a great meal in a new place. Several friends referred me to 1928 despite some negative reviews appearing on Yelp. We had a 7:15 reservation on a Friday night. We arrived at 7:05, and the restaurant was FULL. The hostess greeted us and told us our table was being prepared. I am happy to say we were seated on time at a beautiful table for 4. The decor and atmosphere were really beautiful. It had a strong neighborhood feel that is remarkably unique. Our server introduced herself and took our drink order. My wife had a tropical Negroni, and I ordered a Vieux Carré. The drinks were generously sized and well made. We ordered our meals. We started with Burrata Toast and Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were placed on a covered plate to contain the smoke. The presentation was only eclipsed by the oysters' flavor. The burrata toast was large enough to share between the four of us. The presentation was also beautiful, and the flavors were superb. Our entrees included: herb-crusted halibut, steak frites, the signature 1928 burger, and a gorgeous short rib with some fabulous crispy Brussels sprouts. We shared a single Sticky coffee pudding for dessert. All I can say is that the food and libations were superb, and the service was superb. It is not inexpensive, but no more so than any upscale restaurant in Boston. I would take the few recent negative reviews with a grain of salt. I have spent more and received less at a couple of spots in Boston. We will certainly return to 1928. I would love to try eating at the bar on our next visit. read more

Phenomenal experience and establishment. My husband and I went for dinner recently to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we arrived to the moment we walked out of the door, the attention to detail was exceptional. The food was absolutely excellent and worth every dollar. I had the steak frites and my husband ordered the halibut. Both were Fresh, flavorful, and well portioned. We also ordered a side of Brussels, crisp to perfection. The decor and ambiance are gorgeous. I had two cocktails: the lychee martini and the 1928, both were delicious and well portioned with spirits. The service was fantastic. We never had to ask for our glasses to be refilled, our waiter was attentive and professional. My husband had indicated on the online reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, and that was the only mention of our celebration. And yet when the dessert came out, it was a happy birthday, custom dessert. So without having to remind a soul, the team remembered and incorporated the celebration without having to be asked or reminded. Phenomenal attention to detail. One of the best dining experiences we have had. Already thinking about our next visit! read more

I came here for a quick bite and loved it! The restaurant is very cozy and lovely. I was able to get bar seating immediately and order some bites. Service was quick and we got Mac and cheese and broccolini. Both plates were good- I especially loved the Mac and cheese (very fun noodle choice of XL radiatore). I would definitely go back in the future for a full seated dinner! read more

I wish I could give 1928 a total of 4 stars because the decor is pretty , in a pretty neighborhood, the seater gave us a nice corner table and the server was very nice and the desserts were really good. Downside is that the halibut advertised as seasonal was not fresh and overcooked. The burger and fries had to be redone because the kitchen made a critical error allergy related. We chose this restaurant because of a friend recommendation and decided to celebrate our anniversary there. read more

Thank you so much Patrick! We can’t wait to have you back!
Came here for brunch over the weekend and we all enjoyed our meals. Service was a bit slow, but i guess they were short staffed that day. I had their frittata which was like a hash brown omelet. This was delicious! Others in my party had their steak breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Place made some delicious cocktails too. Service was friendly and place looks nice inside. I would definitely be back! read more

Where to start! Top to bottom had a great experience at 1928. When we got sat our waiter informed us that the menus had changed 15 minutes prior to when we arrived so we were excited to try some of the new changes. I ordered their 1928 cocktail which was phenomenal especially if you like floral, fruity drinks that aren't overly sweet. My boyfriend was recommended a red wine by our server that was very good (we don't remember which one). For food we started with the burrata dish and for entrees we had the braised short rib and the steak frites. We also shared a side of the brussel sprouts. Everything was excellent!!! For dessert we finished with the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was coursed appropriately which is much appreciated and our waiter was great. Can't say enough great things about this place. A must visit in Beacon Hill! read more
I found the adequately nice and the ambience cozy. Those seated at the bar, tho, seemed quite cramped, and when we dined it was quite loud. Still we enjoyed our meal. It would be a typical good choice for those living close by. The pornstar martini was quite sweet..almost like a melted popsicle. It would be better as a dessert cocktail. Our appetizer was the crab dip, and it was very nice. I then ordered coyote which I was disappointed didn't have any smoky notes as good mescal typically would, especially when intended to go with smoked rosemary. I think their pasta could be improved if the noodles were not overcooked, but that isn't so uncommon in the states, not it wasn't a problem for me. Overall a nice experience. read more
Stopped in a for a drink or two, and we'll be coming back for dinner. The cocktail list and the menu have many inventive options, including oysters under a smoke dome. They have several signature cocktails, and we enjoyed every one we tried. It has the ambience of a back room speakeasy, but everything is nicely appointed. Far from being a big square room, the bar and dining areas snake around the building and every spot feels like a secret hideaway. The service is friendly, but since we sat at the bar can't speak to the wait staff. We're definitely coming back and will update. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Close your eyes imagine stepping into the '20s in one of our oldest cities in the Nation. 1928 Beacon Hill is a true gem and WOW, what a find! From the incredible ambiance to the exquisite service (Jorge was amazing) to the delicious food- I can not speak highly enough of this place. In town on a work trip, I popped in on a recommendation from a friend. By myself, I sat at the bar and started with a fantastic Heart of Gold, absolutely delicious. My bartender was not only professional & friendly, but easy on the eyes as well! Being in New England, I had to start off with the clam chowder. I am so glad I did probably the best I've ever had loaded with clams and not your typical heavy, thick cream flavor. I moved on to the Bolognese, which was good, not excellent. Definitely missing that wow factor. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it could've definitely used some garlic or crushed red pepper or something extra- still delicious! The service with a smile was a warm, welcomed change from your typical Boston environment. I will definitely return and tell others about this place! read more

My favorite restaurant during my trip to Boston. Everything: food, atmosphere, and service was exceptional. We almost didn't make it in, as the place was packed and reservation-only. Luckily, a last-minute cancellation opened a spot for us. Hidden away down a quiet side street, the restaurant exudes a speakeasy style ambiance. The warm and inviting atmosphere blends vintage charm with modern sophistication, making the space feel both intimate and elegant. Once seated, we were taken care of by Mike, who delivered top-notch service. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine kindness truly elevated our dining experience. We started with the 18hour Cider Braised Pork Belly, which was incredibly flavorful and tender. I ordered The Mad Hatter to drink and was pleased by the smoothness of the bourbon beautifully complemented by well-balanced mixers that highlighted its flavor without overpowering it. For my main I had the Citrus Herb Crusted Halibut. It was fresh, tender, and flavorful. The sauce it was served in was rich and complimented the unique fregola sarda pasta. My spouse got the Steak Frites which was cooked to perfection. The fries were crisp, and the truffle aioli was easily the best I've ever had. I can't recommend 1928 Beacon Hill enough, just make sure to get a reservation. read more

One of the best ambience of a restaurant I've ever been to! The cocktails were perfect and so were the appetizers! And some of the best music I've ever heard in fact at the end of the service, I asked our waiter what song was playing just then and he gave me the artist's name and replayed the song again for me. We ate in the library room and it was just such a unique experience. Highly recommended. read more
