    Rare Prime rib, mashed potatoes and broccoli.
    Ted B.

    There are a few adjectives that come to mind when it comes to the Winthrop Arms: Delicious food, consistent ly good, affable waitstaff and relaxing ambiance. When it comes to Prime Rib, the Arms is the best bar none. I've had Prime Rib all over the US and thoughout Europe and the Winthrop Arms outshines them all. Lucky for me I live only a few miles from the Arms but I would travel an hour for this meal. In addition to the Prime Rib, the Mac and cheese is out of this world as is their Chicken Pot Pie affectionately called Doc Pies. We occasionally take them home. My wife also sales the veal is amazing. Visiting the Winthrop Arms is coming home for me. It reminds me of the movie Somewhere in Time w Christopher Reeves. The Oak panel wall decor of The Arms is timeless and if you don't look out the window to see the cars, u can easily go back in time to the 40s and 50s.

    Potato wedges
    Liz J.

    My husband and I have heard good things about this place and finally decided to try it and I'm thankful we did. We started out with ritz crackers along with a pub cheese, and then we received a fresh loaf of bread with butter! All for free to start. We order drinks and my martini came alongside a mini pour of the extra. We had potato wedges and meatballs which were amazing, and then we split the lobster pie with spinach and mashed potatoes. Everything was amazing. The service was great (I was even able to call an hour ahead for a reservation) and it was a little loud early on from kids but it quieted down half way through the meal. Prices are completely reasonable! We will definitely be back!

    Oysters
    Valerie L.

    Last night for date night, my hunny and I went to Winthrop Arms Hotel & Restaurant for dinner- we hadn't been there in a while! On Thursday's, they have $1.25 oysters; they were quite small (it's difficult to tell from the pic), but they were fresh & delicious! Typically when I go out to dinner I'll order a seafood entree, but people always rave about Doc's chicken pot pie, so my curiousity got the best of me and I ordered it. It was SO good! It doesn't necessarily look like a big portion, but it really was- I took most of it home! The mashed potatoes that came with it were quite good, but still not as good as my late mother's (nothing beats hers IMO). This is TRUE comfort food for sure, and I'd definitely get this again! My hunny had the lobster pasta that was on special- the portion was good, there was plenty of lobster in it, and the flavor was great. The only problem with it was that it was quite evident that the lobster meat had been previously frozen. Once lobster meat has been frozen, it changes its texture (not for the better by any means), and that was clearly the case here. Cocktails (not pictured): He had a blueberry martini, and I the lemon drop martini- both were great! Service: Our server was very friendly, but a bit slow considering the place wasn't really busy at the time we were there. Thankfully, we weren't in any big rush, so it wasn't a big deal. Cleanliness: Generally speaking, everything was well kept. I judge a lot of the cleanliness by how well the bathroom is kept, but I didn't use it, so I can't speak to that. Ambiance: It's simple but I like it! It's also nice to be able to smell the ocean air as you come in and out of there- heavenly! Summary: It's definitely a place to go, and we'll certainly be back!

    Quahog topped with bacon! Looks smaller in photo. This is delish and filling!!

    Cozy place - just what I was looking for while visiting Winthrop and dining alone. The service excellent while not being overly attentive (a pet peeve when I'm eating alone - like if I wanted company I'd have it) Any way - the food was excellent. I didn't have room to try everything I wanted so I am going to have to go back and lucky me - they have a st Patty's day dinner! I had the quahog with bacon - simply divine. I ordered a spicy margarita priced at $13 on the menu but was $15 on my bill. No biggie but check your tab

Our party of four ordered: * Omelet with Bacon * Three Eggs Over with Pancakes and Breakfast Potatoes * Eggs Florentine * Steak with Two Eggs Over My eggs were cooked nicely, and the steak was thin but cooked nicely, tender and tasty. My breakfast potatoes were good, but tepid. The Three Eggs Over with Pancakes also received a positive review, both the eggs and pancakes were nicely prepared. The Eggs Florentine was considered good but not excellent, the sauce was just "okay". And the diner who ordered the Omelet was underwhelmed. Service was excellent throughout our meal, and the venue isn't fancy, but it is pleasant. Prices are very reasonable here, our brunch totaled $85 before the trip. Based on my Steak and Eggs, the service and the value, I'm providing four stars for this visit.

We did the buffet for…read moretwo, had a couple of juices, and also grabbed a small plate to go for my partner at home. Overall, the meat was good, which is what you hope for at a Brazilian steakhouse. The lamb is always a hit, but the steak was also nicely cooked and perfectly salted. However, some of the items at the buffet bar were underwhelming and didn't quite match the quality I've experienced before. The cheese bread was cold, and the fried yucca lacked flavor. A few other buffet items also felt like they had been sitting out for a while. The total came to about $135 (before tip) for what we ordered, which felt steep given the food quality and overall experience. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for an itemized receipt to better understand how everything was priced. Service was mixed. The guy carving the meat was excellent and definitely a highlight, but beyond that, the service was pretty meh. All things considered, I'd probably skip the East Boston location next time and head back to Oliveira's in Somerville, where the food and service have consistently been better. At this price point, I might even opt for Fogo de Chão instead.

Dryft was an upscale experience from the usual stands and restaurants that historically been part of the Revere Beach dining experience since mid-century and further back. Dryft is easy to get to from the beach side and the subway. We ate on the outdoor deck. The restaurant is above street level for an ocean view. What a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Our service was great, professional not overly friendly. I liked the atmosphere, casual but a bit upscale for Revere Beach. The food was delicious. I tried the clam chowder, and ordered the mushroom gnocchi. Which both delicious. They have a full bar and they offer high tops, regular chairs and indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a Lunch price until 3 and a dinner price. I'll be back.

    Came here to meet a friend, and wanted a table overlooking the ocean. There are about a dozen…read moretables outside, and 3 were taken but the majority were open. I came in at about 8:45 when they close at 10, and I was told they could not seat me outside because the kitchen was closing. I said if I order oysters or something that doesn't require the grill, can I be seated outside? They said they would ask the kitchen. The host came back and said sure, that would be fine. Then brought me through the dining room to a table. I asked again if I could be seated outside because I am eating, she said no, even though there were about 8 or 9 tables available outside. So I asked to be seated at the table by the window closest to the ocean, which you couldn't see out of based on the reflections of the lights. I likely would have chosen another place if I knew it would be so difficult to get a table outside even when they are available. So I ordered a dozen oysters, half blondes from Blue Hill Bay Maine, half were from Little Pilgrim, Mass.; they were delicious and fresh. I looked them up afterwards and I'm not sure they gave me the right names, but they do look close and at least they had a relative idea of where they were from. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche with plantains, it was good with a decent amount of shrimp but I felt like there could be more, and the plantain chips took up the majority of the dish to make it look bigger. It's a great idea & taste, but could be executed much better. I tried their Dragon's Kiss for a drink which I liked. I forgot our servers name, she was nice but I did feel like she had wanted me to order more for a bigger tip. Tip: give great service and you don't have to upsell to get a bigger tip. It was $120 for 2 drinks, a dozen oysters, and a shrimp ceviche appetizer. dragons kiss 8.5/10 oysters: blue hill bay blonde, me (?) 10/10 little pilgrim, ma (?) 9/10 shrimp ceviche 7/10 Overall it's a beautiful new-ish (3 years) restaurant overlooking Revere Beach, if you can convince them to give you a table outside. Food is good, not great but I'd need to try them again to give a better opinion. Service is just okay, I didn't like the bait and switch of the tables, or that I just came for a few oysters and a couple drinks and it was $120. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2.5/5 Dryft: 2.6/5 *docked a point for the table situation. there was no reason why we couldn't have a table outside, especially when I told them I would order raw options to make it easier for the kitchen. there were other people outside.

    Omg! If you want fabulous home cooking in ginormous portions, this is where you gotta be!…read more This is a small, neighborhood restaurant (I counted 34 of us seated inside) with additional seating on the sidewalk. Debbie, our server, was exceptional in every way. This is CASH ONLY (ATM inside) and there's one unisex restroom located inside the kitchen (I had to slink past the dishwasher), but so homey and quirky, I loved it! The fritto misto was amazeballs--calamari, shrimp AND scallops with lemon aioli. Chef's kiss. And the half order was huge. My Matriciana pasta (homemade rigatoni, carmelized onions, pancetta) was enormous and I got 2 leftover meals out of if. (Forgot to photograph). The veal Milanese was chop style and worthy of Fred Flintstone. Covered in a deliciously dressed arugula. Dessert? They had me at spumoni. So many locals come here and it's easy see why. Just fantastic! It's loud, but if you're Italian, you get it. #iykyk

    The crab-stuffed mushrooms saved this meal - the sauce it came with was delicious. Unfortunately,…read moreit was the only dish we ordered that we felt was worth it. We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened and there was still a considerable wait until we were seated. The food came out at a relatively reasonable time, though our server (more on that later), claimed that everything was to come out at once. The linguine was standard and the mushrooms and sauce were solid. However, the chicken was dry, hard to cut into (despite receiving "special knives"), and was relatively flavorless save for the deli meat stuffing (that part was the saving grace for the chicken). The gnocchi itself was good - nice chewy texture. However, the sauce was overtly salted which overpowered the grape tomato flavor. Unfortunately, I have to dock another star for the aforementioned service. The server had to stop us a few times in the middle of our meal to replace our plates and knives and at the end of the meal, came with two boxes. We had finished at least 2/3 of our food (mind you, the portions were MASSIVE), but we had to explain we couldn't take the rest home simply because we had other places to be and the food would have been spoiled by the time we got home. Despite profusely apologizing and explaining ourselves, our server simply gave us a withering look and shamed us for not having any other options and for not having anyone to hand the leftovers to and for not "mentioning this detail to her earlier." For a place that is so renown for being "treated like a family," that interaction simply stated otherwise. Never have we been treated this way for simply being unable to bring home leftovers, as if we had personally offended the server.
