We visited here with a reservation time for 9PM on a Sunday evening, after a concert nearby…read more 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!

My wife and I took our son and youngest daughter out for a great meal in a new place. Several…read morefriends 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.

I highly recommend the parm truffle fries and the lychee martini!

While staying in a hotel attached to this mall, we came in here for some pre-dinner cocktails and…read moresnacks, getting here around 3:30PM, they were dead on a Sunday, so we sat at the bar. The ladies working the bar were helpful and friendly. Their menu is really basic here, I seem to recall seeing more on Earl's menus at other locations... maybe I'm wrong. We really didn't want anything too filling, as we had nice dinner plans later in the evening we didn't want to ruin, so we went with their guac & chips and shrimp & pork dumplings. Everything we had was very nice. The drinks were good... Food was good too, with the guac being our favorite! Earl's seems to provide a consistently decent experience each time we visit; don't think we've been to the same one twice yet.

Before Capri (and Daily Catch), I had given up on Boston Italian. I think arguably there is no…read morerestaurant in Boston that can beat the ambiance and interior of Capri coupled with its incredible food and great service. I went for a friend's birthday brunch and we were seated in their outside patio, which is gorgeous and felt like an Italian summer in the South End. The honey buns and caesar salad are perfect starters. We had their tuna tartare and octopus carpaccio as well, which was excellent and I loved the passion fruit and apple as sweet components. Chicken parm is one of the best in Boston. I also love their garganelli alla pollo as a pasta entree. The french toast is also a lovely brunch option, but I do prefer savory dishes and think that their savory items are much more outstanding. Would love to come back for dinner service and sit indoors, it looks beautiful inside!

I've been wanting to try Capri since it opened, so I was excited to finally visit for my birthday…read more The ambiance is definitely upscale and suave, with dim lighting, long couches, and a spacious layout upstairs and downstairs. The space itself sets the expectation for a special experience. Unfortunately, the service and food did not match that expectation. My reservation noted that it was my birthday and included a seating request. I understand seating requests are not guaranteed, but no one acknowledged the birthday or explained that the requested seating wasn't available. At the front desk, there were several people standing around, including three others chatting behind the desk, yet I barely felt acknowledged. Two people were looking at a device trying to figure out my check-in and seating, followed by a slow handoff of who would actually seat me. I'm not sure what was happening, but it made the arrival feel unnecessarily cold and disorganized. The food had similar issues. The cheese board was three small pieces of cheese with grapes, cantaloupe, and crackers. For the price point, it felt very basic and lacked thoughtful presentation. I also wanted a zero-proof mocktail, but one of the three options contained Prosecco, which obviously does not make it zero-proof. The drink I ordered was not good, and I eventually left it sitting. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and added shrimp after specifically asking if it was grilled. I was told it was, but it arrived not grilled. The waitress did take it back and have it prepared correctly, which I appreciated, but this was exactly why I asked the question beforehand. By the end of the meal, I skipped dessert because I simply wasn't impressed with the food or drinks. Capri is not inexpensive, and for that price, I expected more thoughtful food, better execution, and more attentive service. I left and continued my dining experience at Frenchie Wine Bistro down the street from Capri. In addition, I actually texted one of my group chats afterward to let them know I finally had the opportunity to visit Capri, and I also told them I have no interest in returning. I'm glad I tried it for myself, but the experience did not give me a reason to come back. One accessibility note: there is a side walkway that appears to lead toward the back and downstairs areas. I did not see an elevator, so if stairs are difficult or you need mobility accommodations, I would recommend confirming seating options ahead of time.

My husband ordered the sirloin that was on special. He enjoyed the steak, but the vegetables served with it were cold. My son ordered the fish and chips and he really enjoyed them. It was my husband's birthday which I noted in the reservation and they came over with a chocolate lava cake and ice cream after our meal. It was a very nice touch.

I will say Service was SPECTACULAR. All the staff were friendly, accommodating. Alex our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The best bite of the dinner was undoubtedly the wagu dumplings, they were rich but well balanced. The octopus appetizer was over charred, the burnt taste was the top note, making it bitter. Sadly, our mains were also charred/burnt. The steak for the steak frites, we asked for medium well, but was really charred, again taking away from the taste. The branzino skin was burnt and the capers that came with it so charred to the point of being dry, charcoal dust balls. The French fries and mashed potatoes were well executed as was the au poivre sauce. Dessert was impressive, the bananas foster can easily serve 3 or 4 people, I loved the brûléed bananas and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, there were some standout dishes but if an appetizer and a dessert overshadow the mains, something is amiss.

Such an awesome & friendly group. If you haven't done ayce Brazilian steakhouses, you need to get on it.. pro tip: come hungry. The salad bar is open, the side dishes keep coming, and every few minutes the servers stop by with a different cut of meat that they carve tableside for you. My favorites were the lamb and the garlic beef. There are so many different cuts and marinades, and you really need to try them all. You also get a double-sided card: green means "keep the meat coming," and red means "I need a minute before I keep eating." They also have a wine list and cocktails. I got the lychee martini, and it's probably one of the best I've had in seaport. Very much enjoyed the experience!
