Came in to see that this place was basically empty and honestly was scared of how the food was going to be...BUT THEN!! The food is delicious here and staff is very friendly. The sauce/gravy in the marry me chicken is absolutely yum and then the fried chicken is sooo good, with a very unique slaw and jelly that goes perfectly well with it. While I didn't get much this time around, I definitely will another time. Tons of seats here so bring a whole group because I'm sure everyone will enjoy this place.
We stopped in on a Thursday afternoon with a larger group of people they accommodated all of our requests. Nice menu selection with a southern flair. The tuna tacos had a nice kick and the Rachel was super delicious!
Stillwater is a nice location to share after work drinks and appetizers at the edge of the financial district though the bar area is narrow and dark. We enjoyed starters such as the poppy seed crusted tuna ($17) and chicken empanadas ($12). Local oysters were nicely presented in a traditional manner, though on the small side. However, the highlight dishes may have been the sausage and corn chowder, a filling bowl ($9) of sweet hearty soup with a punch of spice, and the Cobb salad ($18). Dessert descriptions sounded great, but the execution was a bit underwhelming. The S'mores donuts ($11) were dense and the peach tarte (a special that night), was all flaky crust with hardly any discernible peach. Our server, Eduardo, did a great job meeting all of our needs.
Really solid brunch! We came in right when they opened on a weekday, definitely didn't need the reservation. We started with the Gouda and red pepper biscuits, which were among the best biscuits I've ever had!!! My husband had a bloody Mary, which was solid. He did the hangover burger with fries, and I had the empanadas rancheros. We both loved our meals! The brunch potatoes were particularly well seasoned and delicious. And the service was fast and friendly! We'll definitely come back for dinner sometime.

We arrived Boston late, our flight had been delayed, so we scrambled to find somewhere to eat. Arriving about 45 minutes before close, we were seated in the back. Our server was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Located towards Chinatown in the downtown area of Boston, the restaurant was clean, friendly, and has some really good choices.
Had a really nice lobster roll here. Best one of the year, and of the best one I've ever had. They really packed it with lobster meat inside, so you get your money's worth, and incredibly fresh and perfect mix, After you sink your teeth into the first bite, you want to keep going. Fries were great, ketchup was a little vinegary (could go for a more basal ketchup) but fantastic overall. Service was friendly, prompt, and it was great sitting outside. It's a relaxing, upscale dining establishment. What's really nice is the coffee cups. Unlike most places with smaller drinking rims, it's great for sipping, looks classier, and love the image of milk clouds forming as you add in the dairy. I've seen a lot of professionally dressed people enter this space and definitely recommend dressing up with a button down for guys or a dress for women.

For my visit last Friday, it was all about the apps! Or, as they call them, "Sexy Snacks." Stillwater does a solid job elevating comfort food classics by giving them a unique twist, and I was there for it! I had the opportunity to try the following: -Deviled Eggs -Poppy Seed Crusted Tuna -Everything Bagel Popcorn -Empanaditas -Local Apple Crumble (when have you ever known me to skip dessert!) The breakdown you're all here for: Deviled Eggs: Oh, let me tell you, I am totally here for the creaminess! Unfortunately, there is more to a really great deviled egg, and this one felt lacking. The filling was on the bland side, and while I credit them for using smoked paprika, crispy chicken skin, and chives, these needed to go further. They have the making of a good dish, but it needs something more. Empanaditas: These were an all-around, through-and-through win in my book, with no negative critiques! The chicken filling was fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The smoky flavors also do wonders, regardless of how they get in there. Meanwhile, I loved the garnishes of the crema and salsa. The citrus crema was delicious, and the salsa was peppery and spicy, just as I like! I also enjoyed the dough; it also was hot and fresh. Poppy Seed Crusted Tuna: I've had variations of this dish a couple times, but never with poppy seeds! It made for a nice crust; the fish had a perfect salt level and was cooked just right. Though something was gnawing at me, and I think I finally know! The cuts of tuna were too thick. This kind of dish relies on a delicate balance of crust to effectively raw tuna. With pieces of this size, the balance is upset. Regarding garnishes and sauces: The sweet soy is good (you can buy sweet soy sauce; it is excellent!). I loved the chili sauce, though! It was sugared, spicy, and savory! As for the pickled veggies, the brine's lightly saccharine and salty tang was terrific! Only, with fish the size of a foot-ending lego brick, it made balancing veggie and fish consumption trickier. Everything Bagel Popcorn: This was solid popcorn, topped with everything bagel seasoning and served with a bit of butter. The only thing to note is that the seasoning seemed homemade and spicy. Unless you are a massive lover of popcorn and the flavorings, I would pass on this one. Local Apple Crumble: This one was so fresh it was too hot to eat immediately! It had terrific flavors and spices within and wasn't overly sugary. The dollop of gelato on top was both sizeable and of superb quality. It quickly melted into the crumble, though I can't tell if that was by design. My only note is that I would have preferred just a bit more crust up top. The location was clean, and the service was professional and speedy. While I did have some notes, I look forward to returning to Stillwater sooner rather than later and trying the rest of the apps and maybe some mains!

This is my first time here and I hope it won't be my last. The atmosphere is calm cool and very friendly- the food is so good and filling :) I recommend the Hot Pocket appetizer and the Kingstown salad with seared tuna. Everyone was so kind and helpful :) I wish to thank the staff who worked this shift today 8-29-26 1:30pm Thank you everyone for an amazing and memorable experience read more
We came in for a drink on our way out . Our waitress was really sweet. We ordered the cider on tap which was mango flavor and came with a Tajín rim. It was sooo good, the Tajín gave it a nice touch. They also had $1 oysters until 6 so we indulged. We sat outside which was nice and shaded. The temperature also went down some so it was the perfect spot to sit and chat. read more
Ordered takeout from here and it was decent. I wouldn't say there was anything astounding, but I had a solid meal that was pretty filling. I ordered the Flat Patty Burger and it comes with fries: Flat Patty Burger ($19) - This burger comes with 2 patties and a side of fries. In today's market, $19 for that isn't too bad, and the burger was THICK. The two patties had butter and herb flavor, but probably could have done with a touch more salt. Still, each bit was satisfyingly meaty and full. It also came with melted cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a cajun aioli which was pretty tasty. There were a few pickles on the side which was a nice addition as well. All in all, a filling and tasty burger that hits the spot when you want something meaty and carb-loaded. I've had better burgers but I've also had worse ones. This comes in at "above average" for the herbs and butter on the meat as well as the amount of food you get for the price. Not a bad meal! read more

Chill neighborhood spot. Super relaxed service and super relaxed vibes. And good comfort food I had the corn and sausage chowder rich and creamy with good flavor and came with a biscuit. The biscuit was ok but didn't taste that fresh Then I had the lamb chops. They were good quality, good portions, and while the flavor was certainly good, I wish there was just a little bit to it. I would still get it again though. Finally I had the PB&J creme brulee. This was awesome the brulee was a rich peanut butter and came with peanut brittle and some peanuts on top. There was a little jelly on top too. This was very original and was very tasty. I recommend coming here for a relaxed not frills song experience at good price read more
Nice enough but kind of a strange operation. I was surprised to find reservations the day before for 6 people. The restaurant is quite large, and has an open style kitchen. We were surprised to see there weren't many people there, most brunch spots are pretty packed. Our waiter was nice but must have been new. He didn't seem to know the specials and we had to ask him for them. A few people ordered coffee and one asked for non dairy creamer. He had no idea what we were talking about so they suggested oat, almond etc and he just had a blank stare on his face. On the topic of coffee, when someone wanted a refill, the waiter would take their cup away instead of bringing a pot or carafe to refill. They were very accommodating with substitutions which was nice, but the food was average. The fried chicken is advertised as a chicken thigh, but it was a chicken cutlet. Tater tots were your standard freezer brand. The breakfast potatoes had an unexpected kick to them and were too spicy for one of our guests. The cheese sauce is also generic premade. read more
I went to Stillwater for a Friday work lunch. Since most offices still don't mandate physical presences for the whole week, the establishment did not have a lunch rush; I entered and received seating immediately. I decided to be healthy and ordered the Beet and Burrata Salad ($15) with herb and garlic chicken (+$5.5). The salad itself, consisting of ginger honey roasted beets, burrata cheese, baby arugula tossed in orange sherry vinaigrette, pomegranate seeds and toasted pistachio, tasted extraordinarily fresh (and refreshing). The beets possessed a snap of resistance on first bite, and the vinaigrette managed to weave together the arugula's nuttiness, the burrata's savory creaminess, and the beets' light sweetness with both citrus and acerbic acidity. The chicken felt almost unnecessary, an interloper in the palate. read more

Stillwater never disappoints! I've been several times and have had many things and each time I swear is better than the last. It's a very welcoming vibe - not stuffy or uptight, and feels casual and cozy without feeling cheap. Everything is priced so well, too (which feels rare given inflation right now) and for the food quality and portions, you'd think you'd pay way more! A must visit when in Boston. read more

Came to get a quick lunch here during non-peak hours. We were served immediately and our food came out quickly. Our server was attentive and checked in on us regularly. I ordered the Deviled Eggs and the Flat Patty Burger. The deviled eggs were tasty but did not have anything special to them; I think they lacked a signature flavor that could have made them stand out. The patty on my burger was perfectly cooked and juicy. It was a good value given that there were two patties. It was a relaxing environment and I think this is a great place to come enjoy some American food with a cold glass of beer. read more

Whenever we take a lil excursion to Boston, we usually stay in Chinatown. We arrived in town straight after a night shift and were tired but famished. The easy solution would be to snag something from Chinatown but nothing quite checked all of the boxes until we came across this place. I had been expecting and preparing my palate for hot pot or Chinese but Stillwater more than filled the noodle and soy sauce hole left behind. We arrived just as the clock struck noon and there was ample seating available at that time but the tables began to fill during our visit. We elected to sit outside on their patio under an umbrella. The service was great. There weren't many other patrons so minimal competition for the staff's attention who were friendly and attentive. The waitress arrived in short order to take our drink order which was a whole issue in of itself because how do you choose just one when they have titillating shit like frozen strawberry lemonade (jack, lemonade, lemon juice, and strawberry monin) the 405 (aperol, sweet vermouth, grapefruit juice, prosecco float) and amanda hugnkiss (rum, kalani coconut, triple sec, lime juice, passion fruit puree). Ultimately, I started with the purple drank (blueberry vodka, persimmon, lemon juice, hibiscus syrup, prosecco float) which was not only tasty but strong. You know, for the sole purpose of writing this review, I needed more data so I ordered the island mule (vodka, lime juice, mango puree, ginger beer) which was absolutely delightful. Tina, again purely for the sake of writing this review, also ordered two beverages. Her first was thank you next (tequila, triple sec, lime juice, cucumber, simple syrup) which she describes, as per usual, as "good". For her second, she ordered the slow burn (mezcal, blanco tequila, grapefruit syrup, agave, citrus bitters) but it didn't do the trick, was too bitter for her taste. We started the solid portion of our meal off with the burrata appetizer. They have since changed this on the menu (in a week, wow, impressive). Ours was in essentially an oil soup with tomatoes and a delicious seasoning and accompanied by something in the focaccia family. It was a touch oily for my taste but I mean, you really can't fuck up burrata, bread, and tomatoes. It appears that the new version is cold with salsa verde, mushrooms, and parmesan crackers and I hate to say it but what we had sounds better. I wanted some greens to keep things moving if you know what I mean and completely lost my shit when I saw their dill pickle salad on the menu: lettuce with turmeric couscous, shaved radish and scallion, buttery brioche crumbs tossed in a mother fucking DILL PICKLE RANCH. As if ranch couldn't get any better. Needless to say this salad was orgasmic. It was a little too heavily dressed which usually disgusts me but I would drank that ranch from a glass. Because we couldn't decide for ourselves, GF and I elected to split the salad and their creole veggie burger which prepped our palate for an upcoming trip to New Orleans with black eyed pea and bulgur wheat patty, swiss cheese, pickle remoulade, and lettuce on a toasted brioche bun and served with hand cut fries. The flavors of the burger were incredible and the fries were crisp AF. We were quite loose by this point after the cocktails and fuck it, we ordered dessert. Our server recommended the ricotta donut holes were perfect to share. Tossed in powdered sugar and served with a chocolate sauce for dipping, they topped our meal off nicely. We had a lovely time at Stillwater and would absolutely recommend paying this place a visit. read more
Made a last minute reservation here for dinner and boy was I glad we did! I didn't realize the chef was on tv and from Oklahoma! Being from Texas you could definitely taste the souther cook on the deviled eggs, the Mac and cheese and the wings! I also got the house salad and it was killer. The mac and cheese was probably the best I've ever had! It was so filling and so cheesy. The drinks we got were made fast and you could taste the fresh ingredients! The staff were so welcoming and friendly! Definitely will be back! read more

Went here for restaurant week, after having stopped in for dinner a few other times. Our meal was delicious - whether or not it was a steal of the week is debatable. My date and I split our appetizers and desserts so we could try more things, and go our own entrees. We had both apps - the blueberry salad and the biscuits. The salad was quite small but tasty, and the biscuits were good but we likely would have picked something else if we had a choice. For the main course, I got the ritz-crusted chicken breast and it was the standout of the night. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and a unique flavor you can't get at home. Also a huge portion - I brought half home and split the second breast with my boyfriend for lunch the next day, for example. I would definitely get it again. The desserts we split too, each trying the tart and the bar. We agreed the hummingbird bar was way more special than the tart, though we liked both (before we went into sugar shock). My only qualm was that we paid $46 for these three courses, and I think our food would have cost $43 if we ordered off the menu - I expect more of a sampling and discount during restaurant week, and wouldn't come here during this week again, but rather stop in as a regular meal and split fewer things for less money. read more
Good concepts very poorly executed. Sweet potato ricotta ravioli - 2.5/5. Relies too heavily on heavy cream. It is a great concept of fresh mushrooms, roasted garlic, fully stuffed ravioli and herbs in the sauce. Perhaps it was insufficient seasoning but it all felt a bit boring and didn't get better brought together in a bite. The only technical issue was the pasta was chewy. Peanut butter creme Brulee - 2/5. Fun idea. The peanuts surprisingly work. But the creme Brulee itself wasn't set properly so the texture was all off. read more
This place is known for their cocktails, but a few friends and I came here for supper. My Cobb salad with a veggie patty was delicious and my friends enjoyed their veggie burger and sweet potato/ricotta dumplings. The menu is definitely limited and vegetarians have a couple of options at most, however they do have some interesting appetizers on there! Service was decent, and we were able to make a reservation the day of. A super convenient dinner if you're trying to catch a train! read more
I was in Boston and was looking for a decent vegan/vegetarian friendly place to have my dinner and the yelp reviews led me here. They have a few good vegetarian options on their menu. They don't have anything vegan specifically on the menu, but they could take out the diary/cheese and customize and make it vegan for you. I liked the black bean burger and my friends loved their meat/chicken dishes. The cocktails were good too. The price was not super expensive considering the location. The employee who served us was super friendly and helpful. Overall, I recommend the place. read more

I found this on a best of brunch list and reading the menu before I visited, I was really excited. Unfortunately, the host that seated us was less excited to be there than a midnight shift gas station attendant. The rest of the staff wasn't too much better. Service was slow and not well informed. Our waitress didn't know what the pancake of the day was, which seems like a pretty basic expectation. The food was mostly good. They make a very good plain pancake and their tater tots were spot on. A side of sausage only comes with two links but they are good sized and tasty. Tacos and deviled eggs are fine but nothing special. The pop tarts sound awesome but don't. They are soggy and definitely not worth the calories. The atmosphere is odd with lots of strange open space in the restaurant. It feels like they never recovered from COVID. Bottom line, there's some good food on the menu, but the service and setting make this a place not worth seeking out. I'd go again if someone asked me to, but I wouldn't go out of my way for a visit. read more
