Katsu sandwich
Eva A.

Strong, creative drinks. Food is a hit or miss - the sweet chili shrimp is AMAZING, very lightly fried and decadent. A must get. Eggplant dip is okay, the pita is very soft and warm though. I expected more from the katsu sandwich, which to me was just a typical fried chicken sandwich. While I found the decor inside to be a little stark and not the coziest, all 3 bathrooms were clean and our waitress was super nice and checked on us many times throughout our meal. Glad I checked out audobon! I could see myself coming back soon.

Tacos
Jerrick C.

4.6 stars Came here the other week on a Tuesday when they have taco specials. $8 for a taco is pretty pricey but I'll admit, they were pretty darn tasty and BIG. I got the chorizo tacos and the carnitas tacos. The carnitas were ok but the chorizo tacos were DELISH! Also got some queso and chips. They queso had nice flavor but had a weird consistency: almost as if it was just melted grated cheese and some spices added into a hot pan. Despite the low number of chips, they were great and tasted homemade. Their drinks are also fantastic. Overall it's a cool spot for bites and drinks. Kinda pricey but they delivered with the flavor. Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Flavors: 4.5/5 Drinks: 5/5

We at 9 on a sat and got seated immediately. The drinks were good and the food was delicious! We got the katsu sandwiches and they were huge. For $16, it was a good deal and super delicious. I'd go back if I'm in the area!

Chicken katsu sandwich
John M.

Dim, hipster vibe restaurant and bar with an interesting blend of modern and classic decorations. Staff were welcoming if also short staffed for dinner on a Wednesday. The katsu chicken was the star of the dinner followed closely by the dirty fries. the chicken was well done with the bun, pickles and aioli complementing it well. The dirty fries were very good and filling, with the chorizo being a welcome touch. Unfortunately the salmon risotto was disappointing. The risotto was rather bland and had a fishy taste (perhaps from crab juice?) while the salmon was heavily salted.

Burger and fries

If you're looking for an above average bar experience, Audubon is a great bet. I've been dying to try this place and definitely did not leave disappointed. It's located right near Fenway Park, tucked away on a busy street. On the outside, it doesn't look very special, but inside it's different from your typical bar. With dark lighting and candles lighting up each table, you get a slightly more intimate experience dining here. It is slightly distracting having huge TVs playing sports games (like most bars have) so I'd hesitate saying that this place has an ultra romantic, date night atmosphere. Still, we really enjoyed our overall experience here. The wait staff were busy but friendly, and got us started with cocktails which were delicious. I ordered the mulled wine which was super flavorful -- with a stick of cinnamon and a slice of orange inside. For the main course, my partner and I split a burger and a steak sandwich which were both great. The burger was fresh and juicy, and I loved the crispy fries and house sauce that came with it. The steak sandwich was tangy and PACKED with mushrooms, which I also enjoyed. I'd love to stop by here again to try some of their other menu items!

Hailey-made specialty

Really gem hidden in the Fenway area. The cheese board is surprisingly one of the best I have had. They didn't skimp out on high quality cheese. Hailey, the bartender, can make you a custom drink (in non-busy times) that was very yummy. Ask her for the "Roger That"

We came here for a late night snack and drinks, and it was a great time! We each ordered two drinks in total, all of which were delicious. The star of the night was our server, Peter, who was amazing and very helpful! He recommended to us the pretzel, which I can easily say was the best dish of the night. We spent two hours here just chatting, enjoying the music, and snacking. This restaurant/bar is a great place to go to for a relaxing fun night that's close to Fenway.

We stopped in to Audubon on our way to Fenway Park. We had reservations and they sat us right down and service was truly excellent. I love the atmosphere of Audubon and how their staff treats you. You feel like you have more than one waitress that cares for you and it's a great feeling. No confusion just straight up get your drinks get your food and treat you really really well. We loved the shrimp appetizer and our dinners were terrific. Seasoned well and cooked perfect! Great experience!

We threw a party here for about 20 people and were SO pleased. We had some of all the appetizers; some favorites for me were the ricotta dip, the hummus and the spicy brussel sprouts. Audubon also had both great cocktails and mocktails. All the servers were super friendly and attentive. It's a pretty restaurant (albeit very, very dark). I will definitely return here.

Lauren M.

Really excellent food, drink, and ambiance! The lights and fluffy palm plants on the patio were a fun vibe as the sun set. We were lucky to stop by on Taco Tuesday and enjoy a whole selection of margaritas and tacos. The fish taco was my personal favorite, but the Barbacoa and Carnitas were also really good. They were a decent size for their $8 price. The margaritas were soooo delicious! And the rest of their cocktails were creative and the rest of folks in my party said they were all very good and strong!

Great service and food. Not the brunch ambiance we were looking for; has more of a typical bar feel. The food was great; no complaints about it actually. Highly recommend the burger and dirty fries.

I decided the this spot since it was indoors mostly and it had rained all day. There were several people helping working the hostess stand. There were several folks walking around gathering info. i.e. Table 15 was paying etc. The noise is busy and charming. There are several TVs streaming sorts. Go sports! You can stand at the end of the bar and order drinks if you like while you wait. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water and had my order taken. I got a cup of chowder and the lobster roll (hot with butter). I got both my chowder and lobster roll in under 10 mins of ordering. Well oiled machine. The chowder was hot and salty and creamy. The perfect combo with the rainy weather. The lobster roll was good but I wish it would have been hot. It was closer to room temp than hot. The lobster roll was marked market price and was 40$. The cup of chowder was 10$. Overall good spot when you have the time to wait but not worth the 40$ price for the lobster roll.

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!

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.

It was Jack Abbey beer... pint came 3/4 full as left a large head on beer and better for establishment pours 12-14 oz in a 16 oz glass.. Beer was warm... bad demerit again Ordered steak tips which came with three large tips on a bed of mashed potatoes, spinach . It had some sour hot nasty pepper garnish.. I wanted roasted red or green peppers with the tips instead. Steak tips were just ok and needed a marinate or side of a dipping bbq sauce or mushroom sauce or anything. Spinach, mashed potatoes needed more butter or garlic flavoring... fresh tasting but bland. Needs more steak tips too for the price tag. It was a nice bar vibe for drinks. The chicken wing lollipops I saw for an appetizer looked tasty. I left hungry for more steak tips and wanted a charcoal char on my tips . I wanted my spinach on the side with a garlic oil next to sone grilled oil drizzled roasted peppers . I don't consider these some of Boston best but certainly not the worst .
