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.

First visit, Monday 4/20/26…read more Visiting Boston on a work trip, I had no idea the Marathon was today! Met 4 colleagues at The Red Fox for dinner, a recommendation from a friend of my colleague. Tough to find initially and very unsuspecting upon arrival. As you enter the front door (think like walking into a foyer of a small apartment building) you go down a flight of stairs into the restaurant. Then wow, this place is awesome! Small entry way into the restaurant with a hostess immediately greeting you. The bar is your first view of the place and it was packed. I'd describe it as dimly light, great atmosphere and ambience, almost a speakeasy feel. I'd recommend a reservation. The hostess walked us to our table, walking along the bar line with small 2-4 top tables to our left, we then turned left into the main dining room. 5 of us and we were seated at a horseshoe style table, plenty of room for up to 6 adults. Service was instant, she was friendly and very knowledgeable. We ordered cocktails and a couple apps. The drinks arrived along with bread service. They added small side plates with oils and olives, a nice touch. The cocktails were fantastic as was the homemade bread. A unique twist with my cocktail (kettle one & soda), was the single ice cube that was a long rectangle cube that was so clear you couldn't see it! The cubes length was the same as the tall glass it was served in and didn't melt. For dinner I listened to our server who recommended the Chicken Parmigiana with a chefs twist using a vodka infused sauce, this dish was amazing! My colleagues all shared the same feelings that this meal was spectacular. Highly recommend The Red Fox!

Ordered: - Bruschetta: 3.5/5 (was a bit bland) - Carbonara: 4.5/5 - Side of spinach: never got it, had to remind the person (Walter) I placed my order with about this. By then I was already eating. When it arrived, no garlic or seasoning. Just steamed spinach. I brought it to his attention, and said by the time I get another spinach order done correctly this time, I'll be done eating. So I asked for the dessert menu. Ordered my dessert and then another order of spinach came (smelled as if it was cooked properly this time, but what was the point). Sent it back. - Crème Brûlée: 5/5 Service was average. Nothing exceptional. Attention to detail needs working.

The burger is one of the best in Boston; that dry aged patty is unbelievably flavorful. The mashed potatoes were a solid side, and a very good portion for the price. The cocktails were excellent as well, particularly the Stone Fruit, which is new to the menu. Not sure I'll ever be able to afford a steak here, but I'll be back for a drink and a bite!

We went to Coquette in Boston for a birthday celebration with friends, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was really disappointing. The food was average, but the service was the biggest issue. We ordered desserts, and it took forever for them to arrive. When they finally brought them out, there were no spoons or forks for us to eat them with! We also ordered croissants, only to be told after waiting around 30 minutes that they were out of them. How does it take 30 minutes to figure out that something is unavailable? For a birthday celebration, we were hoping for a much better experience. Between the long waits, the lack of basic utensils, and the poor communication about the croissants, the service was super disappointing. Overall, the food was just okay, and the service really brought down the entire experience. Definitely not what we expected for a birthday outing with friends.

Our first server was very nice but timid and did not check on our table much however at shift change we got a very confident, quick server who we loved. Just like the servers, our first drinks took over 20 minutes to come out despite there only being 4 other tables but our second round was much quicker. What we ordered: -Limani Chips 4.5/5: super crispy alternating zucchini and egg plant with a thick tzatziki dip highly recommend -Feta wrapped Phyllo 2/5: not enough honey, idk didn't end up being very interesting -Ceviche 10/5: my boyfriend said this is some of the best he's had, super super fresh and good portion -Lamb chops 4/5: cooked well and tasty but a little dry and maybe needed a fun sauce to stand out? The fries were thick and crispy - Halibut 4.6/5: beautiful presentation, super fresh, fish was cooked really well and I loved the seasonal veggie selection I just wish it had more of the olive oil/pesto sauce

Capo you don't get enough love…read more I have relied on you for business dinners, birthday dinners, ladies nights and date nights. Your chicken parm is the best ive ever had. If I didn't lose 25 pounds and change my lifestyle I would enjoy you more. You catered my holiday party and it was a hit. I thought I would replace you with Dalia but you are the best restaurant on this side of Broadway. Thanks for making your food affordable and large enough to share- I believe that you don't need to spend $250 on an average tasting meal to have a good night out. Order the chicken parm sub vodka sauce. Every time. Ricotta appetizer and the bread, and try the olive oil with parm in it.

Cool atmosphere, but definitely very loud not really a place for conversation during the live band. We all got the chicken parm. Portions were big, which was great, but the food wasn't very warm and cooled down fast. Same with the bread - good, but not warm, and also not complimentary. I've had the chicken parm here before during lunch and liked it more then, so I think Saturday dinner service was just extra busy. Service was still good though, and we were in and out pretty quickly.

My only problem was the service was kind of meh, as it was hard to get our waiter to come over for drink refills. But overall the food was really good and the inside was nice looking, with an open kitchen type of style and table and booth options.

Not because it was busy, but we sat by the window (only one of two tables in attendance) and the young staff was inattentive unless I waved them down, as they stood together near the rear of the main dining room socializing with one another.
