    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

Weekday lunch visit: -- "Capital Burger" (their signature offering): A French onion style burger with speckled and well melted Gruyère cheese, soupy caramelized onions, and shallot aioli, on a sizable bun dotted with both black and white sesame seeds. Juicy medium rare center as ordered, but not much crusting on the exterior (the two are not mutually exclusive), and very light seasoning. Cheese flowed like lava. Onions were soft and noticeable. Very good burger even with the two shortcomings. -- Mixed Baby Greens: I traded fries for something more healthy. Well dressed with a tangy concoction and some carrot shreds and cherry tomatoes in the mix. A good complement to the burger. Service was VERY disappointing. The place was empty on a Friday lunch, with only one booth occupied, yet I got seated on the other side of the partition, literally inches from them. Then my server doesn't show up for roughly 15 minutes. Then I don't see the server ever again after receiving my order. Nobody came by to follow up. After finishing my meal I waited roughly 15 minutes again with no check, no server, no service, no pulse among the front of the house. No manager either as far as I could tell. I calculated the payment, left cash, and departed. I expect better from a place with "Capital" in its name. Capital Burger's Yelp bio promises "featuring a commitment to exceptional service and hospitality." This visit showed not only the lack of exceptional service, but the lack of commitment as well. (And yes, I did mention this to the business via their Instagram account.)

My mouth waters at the memory. They are decent sized and you get 4, plus a massive tower of also very good onion rings. The onion rings were good no complaints but after the sliders nothing was going to compare so I kind of forgot any opinions I had on them. Inside is cozy, staff are fun and great, reasonable prices and good vibes anytime I've gone in. And I'll be going in again soon bc damn.
