I wasn't sure what to expect given the odd mix of cuisines in the menu, but I ended up really enjoying my meal. The sangria was okay and the crab rangoon dip was exactly what I expected, but the squid ink tagliatelle surprisingly impressed me. The pasta itself had a nice flavor, making me wonder if they source it from somewhere or just prepare it well enough to mask its box origins. I hadn't even been that hungry, but it was genuinely so good that I cleaned the plate. Wowowow. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a low-light, wood-heavy interior featuring a mix of table, booth, and bar seating. It's the perfect ambience for a date night. A cute thing to note is the box of free English breakfast tea bags at the door, which I thought was charming and oh-so Boston. read more

Provisions delivered a memorable dining experience with thoughtful wine pairings and warm, attentive service from start to finish. I selected their "Dine Out Boston" prix fire menu. The course began with the charred octopus appetizer, which was easily one of the highlights of the night. The octopus had a beautifully crispy, charred exterior while remaining soft and juicy inside. It was coated in an aromatic, slightly sweet glaze that reminded me of balsamic, adding depth without overpowering the dish. The daikon brought a subtle sweetness with hints of soy and sugar that balanced everything nicely. The greens were slightly dry and a bit overcooked, but still a pleasant addition overall. Generous portion and very well executed. I also got to try the smoked fish croquettes which were another standout. Shaped almost like crispy potato balls, they had the perfect crunch on the outside and a creamy, soft filling inside. The fish flavor was light and delicate, not overly "fishy", making them incredibly enjoyable and well-balanced. For wine, I had an Austrian Grüner selection that was sweet and crisp, yet smooth. It paired beautifully with the octopus, enhancing the glaze and balancing the char. I had to get another glass of this after my entire meal. The prosciutto-wrapped cod was visually stunning - vibrant, colorful, and thoughtfully plated with fingerling potatoes, slices of chorizo, and a bright orange confit beneath the fish. While the presentation and portion size were great, this entrée fell a bit short in flavor. The cod itself was tender and juicy, but it needed some seasoning. The prosciutto created a slightly dry crust, and a steak knife was necessary to cut through it comfortably. The confit and vegetables leaned a little too tangy and overpowered the dish. I found the fingerlings ame chorizo to be slightly over-salted, and while the chorizo had good flavor, I felt that there were too many overpowering flavors coming through. Overall, this wasn't my favorite dish of the night, though the wine paired with it was excellent. Dessert completely redeemed the experience. The mascarpone berry cake was sweet, spongy, and moist with a warm center. It was topped with a citrusy vanilla whipped cream and fresh strawberries, which added brightness and balance. Absolutely delicious. The Moscato-like dessert wine - lightly bubbly, fruity, soft, and sweet - paired perfectly and elevated the cake even more. Overall, Provisions shines in its appetizers, wine pairings, and exceptional service (thank you, Katie!). While the cod entrée didn't quite meet my expectations, the experience as a whole was enjoyable and thoughtfully curated. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate well-executed small plates and expertly paired wines! read more

The restaurant is on the corner near the Marriott Long Wharf and the New England Aquarium. It's the perfect place to end your evening. It's dark and inviting. The service was great. Our server, Juan, was friendly and had some great suggestions. The starters were the real gem here. Our entrees were ok and there were not many to chose from. Nothing wowed me. But oh lord the well fleet oysters, lobster bisque, and the arancini. They were delicious. My husband like his burger. The kids tenders were devoured by my kiddo. I had the short rib bolognese. It was flavorful but the egg noodles were incredibly over cooked. We didn't try any dessert. Nothing really spoke to us. We would definitely go back. Make sure to make a reservation! They get pretty packed by both locals and tourists. read more

Great spot for brunch if you're planning on taking in the sights by Long Wharf. Food and ambience were on point!

The restaurant feels like a nicer pub. The food is good, but nothing special. I got the breakfast burger which was good and I liked the sauce and caramelized onions but I think it should have came with fries and not been an extra $6. We got the beignets which the waitress said is the best but I didn't think it was amazing. The waitress was super friendly and great a refilling water. read more

Popped in here for the first time in years after playing tourist in my home town. Sat at the bar, had great service, good wine, and a decent salmon "ceviche" which was really a tartare, but I wont hold that against them. No complaints. read more

We stopped here after a trip to the New England Aquarium. I wanted to have a lobster roll! The food here was on the pricier side but the portions were good and everything was high quality. The waiter was very kind and comped the drinks (and looked very handsome LOL). He also refilled the coffee continuously! The ceviche was excellent -- the sauce was delicious and the garlic and raw salmon was very good. The lobster roll is 6oz and 36 dollars, it was so rich and buttery! The clam chowder was fantastic and looked beautiful. Fish and chips was not bad! Overall a bit expensive but it was a great taste of Boston! The interior was a bit moody and romantic read more

Had dinner here with a few colleagues and everything was amazing. From the food to the service, I have no complaints! Their Korean BBQ wings were some of the best I've ever had. They had an amazing crust that was both crispy and sticky, yet the meat inside stayed extremely juicy. The wings themselves were also extremely meaty. I went for the Thai Green Curry Mussels for my main and it was fantastic. Very well executed and the flavors were very well balanced yet pronounced. Highly recommend as an appetizer or entree. The drinks were fantastic too! Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

We stopped after a Ghost & Gravestones tour. It was a bit after 7:30, we were hungry, needed to go to the bathroom and this place in eyesight. I ordered the lobster bisque, it was amazing. Might have been one of my favorite things I ate this trip. The clam chowder was also good. The pizza was delicious, extremely thin crust. The balsamic and ricotta cheese combo, so good. The sausage was flavorful and the broccoli rabe got me a much needed veggie. My boyfriend got the burger and he said it was good, fries were ok. The service was great, fast and attentive. This is a nice place but you can be dressed casually. We saw many folks dressed up, coming from graduations to some teens in pajamas. This is a good option if you're looking for reasonably priced food down by the wharf. read more

Brunch review - we came here on a Sunday morning for a quick brunch before heading to the aquarium. We made reservations the night before & had no wait. Service was quick, food was solid, ambiance was good if we wanted to stay longer, but we were in & out fairly quickly. Great option for breakfast/brunch in the area. read more

When sat at the bar and all staff were attentive and the teamwork appeared seamless. I will gladly return when back in town! read more

We absolutely loved this restaurant for happy hour! Esteban was a wonderful and engaging bartender. We enjoyed the happy hour $1.00 local oysters so much we had 2 dozen the first night and another dozen tonight. He made us fantastic Tito's martinis and our plan is to return for Sunday for brunch and football. If you are in the Long Wharf area you must check out State Street Provisions.

Specifically came here for the $1 oysters for happy hour. Also ordered french fries as well. Oysters did take a bit of time before they arrived at the table. We visited on a thursday afternoon and it wasnt too busy. The outdoor seating was very nice and super close to the water. Overall everything was fine, oysters were a little on the smaller side, but still made an enjoyable happy hour. read more

Glad we found this restaurant!! We worked up an appetite while walking around all morning.. stopped here for lunch. It was open, clean, everyone was friendly and nice.. our waitress (I forget her name but she's from Ireland) was awesome and very accommodating! Everyone devoured their meals. Everything came out in a timely manner, prices were normal, nothing outrageous but i would just consider it "city prices".

State Street Provisions is located on its namesake's location wise in a pretty busy area of Boston right by the Aquarium and Quincy Market. Their outdoor patio is causal with umbrellas. The interior is much more old school tavern like. The food offerings are classic Boston with seafood like seafood platters, lobster rolls and very good salads. We got a Caesar and a beets & arugula. They are also kid friendly. read more

I found my new favorite brunch spot in Boston! State Street Provisions is located near the Aquarium. I loved the relaxed vibes, attentive service, and it's very family-friendly. I was blown away by their huge blueberry pancakes, flavorful eggs Benedict, and my favorite is the full-size lobster roll. Definitely a must-try is their Fried Chicken Biscuit, along with the monkey bread and finishing off with a beautiful Banana Brûlée. If you're looking for a fantastic brunch experience, this place is a must-visit! read more

pretty good brunch spot in Seaport! definitely a little pricey but i feel like all the Boston restaurants were around the same price range. there was no wait at all for 5 of us on a Saturday afternoon, and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. i ordered my first Boston lobster roll (cold) which was really rich and tasty! they really loaded up the roll with lobster so it definitely made the higher end price feel worth it. and my group shared the crab rangoon dip as an app, also surprisingly really good! 2 of us also ordered the cranberry pomegranate aperol spritz and really loved this drink too! so fruity and refreshing :) service was pretty good, no complaints on that or the food, overall a really great experience! read more

Food was mediocre. Caesar salad was romaine lettuce and a minuscule amount of shredded parmesan cheese. I had shrimp added and it was fairly bland. The short rib boulonnaise which was significantly better than the Caesar salad. Service was decent. Kind of a noisy place. read more

So this was more of a back up option since we the wait at Boston Sail Loft was 2 hours =(. Food was just average here, kind of reminds me of a cheesecake factory for seafood lol. The lobster roll was fine. Fries meh. The squid ink pasta flavor was a little bland. The short rib pasta definitely had better flavor then the squid ink pasta. read more

Had an excellent experience at Provisions on State Street, largely thanks to the outstanding service from our bartender, Bailey. From the moment I sat down, Bailey was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making the experience great--not rushed or dismissive, which sadly isn't always the case at popular spots. The food quality was excellent, the pricing felt appropriate for what you get, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. What really stood out was how well everything came together: great service, great food, and fair prices. Honestly, I enjoyed Provisions far more than other hyped Boston restaurants like Contesa and Saltie Girl. Provisions beat them on service, value, and consistency--without the attitude or inflated costs. I'll absolutely be back, and if you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar, ask for Bailey. read more

Excellent. Very creative and innovative preparations. Absolutely delicious. Calm space with great views of the team working.

I am going to write this in real time, cause this is wild No one has seen or acknowledged us and we've been here about 20 mins. Not even a hello, so as we kept getting ignored I kept watching who was being seated. I literally took a picture when they just sat down this couple next to us to see how long it would take for them to get served. It took less than a minute, at this point I just get up and I walk out. But I couldn't help it I had to know why that was done, her explanation the manager just recognized that too and if I wanted to sit down and be served they would serve me. I would never return to this establishment again because whatever that reason was that I was dismissed I mean I'm not here to say what it could be right but what was it and when I asked there was no explanation just other than their manager just realized the same s*** no you realize it cuz I got up and walked away not because I was sitting there. read more

Went to State Provisions for dinner on Valentine's Day, which also happened to be my boyfriend and I's 5 year anniversary. I was personally nervous at first to come here on such a busy evening, but was not disappointed. The clam chowder and Lobster bisque was delightful and carefully presented with red pepper flakes which was absolutely delicious. Our server was nice enough to give us a slice of cake for our anniversary. The lighting was nice and place was well decorated. read more

In the heart of Boston, I was happy to find an open restaurant after a tour and ordered from their late night menu. I had the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Soy Caramel, Miso Yogurt, Cilantro. OMG folks, these are the best. I was slightly embarrassed scraping the plate totally clean, but it was totally worth it. The Downeast Cider Donut was a delicious lightly sweet cinnamon yeasty cider surprise from the local brewery and their Angry Queen pizza was light and crisp. Ambiance- low light plush. Service- attentive, but not annoying. The place was full at 11pm and they are a great option for a late night drink or meal. read more

We were tourists near Faneuil Hall trying to decide where to go to lunch and a kind local overheard us and suggested this restaurant. I am SO grateful. It was an easy walk and a delightful pub lunch. Portions were great and the food was very good. Our server recommended the lobster roll warm instead of cold and he was spot-on. The interior was decorated for the holidays and very cozy. It felt very "Boston-y". Would absolutely go back! read more

We are visiting from Maryland and were looking for a place with a variety of different things for our first night in town. Katie, our server was so sweet and exceptional. She answered our many questions and when we asked to make a few substitutions she didnt even hesitate before saying "ohh yeah!". When one cocktail I wanted wasn't available she suggested another and said i could change out the main liquor. I got the Lola cocktail made with rum and it was delicious. I started with the lobster bisque and my husband had the clam chowder. Both were absolutely delicious and my lobster bisque had many large chunks of lobster. For the main course my husband had the fried pork chop and subed the carrots in for the collard greens. He said it was one of the best pork chops he has ever had. I ordered one of the pizzas with salami, fresh basil onions and delicious cheese. You can taste how fresh every ingredient is. If you are visiting the area, stop in and if you can ask for Katie. *we chose to sit inside, but they have a nice amount of seating outdoors that looked very relaxing * read more
