    Came here because they are Michelin recommended. Well, to me it's a bit over stated. The price is not cheap for sure. The whole meal per person is $90. I got one drink (balance and composure). It pretty Mexican and that is exactly the theme of the drink. I like it. CRISPY LAMB RIBS - the best dish of the day. The lamb is pretty tender inside and crispy outside. But it's only tender inside for the meaty ribs. For ribs that have little meat, then it's more in the crispy side. The sauce is pretty good too. SMOKED MUSHROOM TOAST - it's ok. It tastes like breakfast food. The mushroom flavor is mild. Nothing special. SQUID INK CASARECCE - they have a bit of the lobster and crab meat and tomatoes. The sauce is pretty good. The squid ink pasta itself is thick and al dente. But it has no taste and it doesn't stick with the sauce too much. If they had made it thinner, that would be better. LOCAL HALIBUT - most expensive but worst dish today. The halibut is firm and dry. The scallion pancake is not the Asian version. It has very mild scallion flavor and it's very starchy. It's very dry as well. In general, this dish is horribly designed. It's super dry in general and they should have combined it with some sauce. The dish portion is small and they recommend 2-3 dishes per person. I think 2 dishes are enough for me. Service is pretty good. They cleaned the table pretty well and they cleaned every time when the dishes changed. Value wise, I don't think I'll come back here. The food taste doesn't justify the cost.

    oysters
    Madeleine A.

    Only reviewing their bar $1 oyster deal on Sunday & Monday. This is an upscale restaurant so glad we were able to snag bar seats. We were a group of 5 and the deal said a dozen per person by we were allowed to get 72! The staff was friendly & I think they were happy people were finally coming in to actually partake in their happy hour since everyone else at the bar was eating main course meals. These oysters were fresh & meaty. The view of the water outside of the bar window made the experience even better. I definitely recommend this happy hour oyster spot!

    Carrot hummus - delicious
    Rachel B.

    Lovely services - we mentioned in our reservation it was for an anniversary and both the hostess and waiter acknowledge this! We even got a glass of champagne, which was a really nice touch. All the food was fantastic... we had the carrot hummus, charred broccoli, short rib, and oysters. Would definitely return!

    Farmer's breakfast with side of WHF sausage
    Amanda P.

    We booked a reservation for 11am to try their brunch. The hosts were wonderful, they even check your coats. Our waitress was also very sweet in giving us recommendations. It's right on the pier so you get a nice view of the water. Food came out about 15 minutes after ordering and the plating made it look delicious! I got the short rib hash, it was soooo yummy! The sweet potatoes were my favorite part but everything complimented each other very well! My partner got the farmer's breakfast. Pretty straightforward but their sausages were the star on this one! Probably the best we have had. We would definitely come back again to try their dinner menu if we are in Boston!

    1875

    Fantastic restaurant in Seaport, great selection of food choices and a nice ambience. After reading the food menu and finding many of the items on the menu appealing, I really wanted to check this place out. The waiter advised us the menu was sort of like a choose your own tasting menu and recommended 2-4 plates per person. I do think some of the plates are more main course and some are more appetizer, I'm not sure why they don't split them out that way. Would recommend checking with the staff to see if you've ordered too much or not enough. All the food we had was great, and I really enjoyed the selection of plates. The lamb ribs were a standout on flavor and texture. Really unique, unlike any lamb dish I've ever had before. They were definitely on the fattier side though, so keep that in mind. The steak tartare was good, a nice sized portion. It could have used a bit more crusty bread to go along with it, but the house bread made a fine substitute here. Overall the flavor was a bit weak here too, think honestly even a pinch of salt would have gone a long way here, probably would go with something else next time. The amatriciana was fantastic. Really nice amount of sauce. Touch of spice. Little chunks of crisp yet chewy guanciale. The pasta was a bit overcooked actually, but again not too much to complain about here. Biggest standout was the hanger steak. Really tender, bold in flavor. The mushroom that came with it was incredible. It was actually cross-hatched, which I've never seen before. Really nice accoutrement. Additionally the leek latke was a fun side, really tasty, though a tad salty. I had the 1875 cocktail, and really enjoyed this spirit forward cocktail which was well balanced and a better twist on a manhattan vibe. I thought about ordering another cocktail but when asking the waiter about another, he seemed confused at my request for something spirit forward. He suggested a drink, but then also said it was nothing like my first drink which is what I actually wanted. Skipped the second drink and just went for a beer instead. Overall really enjoyed the meal. Definitely a bit on the pricier side, so keep that in mind that you're ordering a handful of plates and not just 2. Some small adjustments in the kitchen and with the staff I think would really make this place shine. But certainly a place I'd love to come back to and try some other things off the menu.

    Lamb leg was horrible, barely edible
    Joann T.

    Got a private room for around 20 people. Nice server but they messed up our order quite a lot, they kept giving people the wrong dishes it was almost comical. Lobster appetizer rolls were delicious. I had ordered the lamb leg but it was not cooked well, super chewy, I had to spit it out, couldn't get a good piece in. Other colleagues said the steak frites were good. The only dish I'd come back for is the whipped feta, flavor and texture was perfection

    Sunflower risotto
    Danyel M.

    Dinner is always fantastic here! We wanted to try their fall menu and overall it was pretty tasty. For starters, my hubby ordered the oysters and we shared the salad with tahini dressing and apples. It was OK but I didn't love it. I wasn't a fan of the tahini dressing. They brought out bread which was delicious. My hubby ordered the tagliolini pasta with the seafood and I ordered the ham hock croquettes and crostini. The croquettes were my favorite. I did not care for the crostini because the bread was too thick and not toasted at all. I think it was the same bread as the one they brought with the butter. Our drinks were super tasty and refreshing. My hubby ordered the seasonal drink which was a pumpkin old fashioned and I had the balance and composure. We took a dessert home and it was OK-it was the blueberry cornbread shortcake-it was tasty but heavier than I expected. All in all, we had a fun evening and enjoyed our meal. Make sure to make a reservation thru Resy so you don't have to wait! This place is usually busy on the weekends.

    Lamb shoulder hash, Grilled Grass Fed Hanger Steak*, rose, gin cocktail
    Miranda S.

    This is a great place to visit for great vibes, waterfront views, excellent service and farm to table quality food. I came here for brunch with a friend and really enjoyed it. I got the lamb shoulder hash and she got the steak & eggs. I wish there were more significant pieces of lamb in the hash - lamb was really shredded and mixed in with the sweet potato. However the food quality was top notch - you can tell it's farm to table and I ate the whole thing. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list and provided great service. A couple of things to note - the portion sizes were smaller and there was no coffee on the brunch menu - maybe they do serve coffee and it's just not on the menu. I was in the mood for a coffee with my brunch so that was a bummer. Based on the quality of the food, I'm sure the dinner here is probably great and this is a place worth revisiting for dinner service.

    Squid Ink Cassarecce
    Claire Y.

    We didn't have a reservation but was able to walk in and got seated at a table. The restaurant is on the pier and has a boardwalk. Food is absolutely delicious, even the complimentary bread and butter are tasty too We ordered the squid ink pasta, grilled salmon, and the short ribs. The short ribs taste soo good and highly recommend! Service is average, our server is not super attentive and kinda has a weird attitude, which is the reason why I'm only giving it a 4 stars instead of 5.

    Lobster Newburg

    One of the best vegetarian options in the city. The broccoli and the celery root were fantastic. The bread is delicious. Service was good, if not a bit cold.

    The most uncomfortable chairs ever sadly
    Whitney M.

    Definitely late to the game here, but this place is amazing. Came for brunch recently with my husband on a slow winter day and had a lovely meal. Started with the patisserie basket which was amazing. Each pastry was perfect, no notes. The pastries are served with butter and two amazing fruit spreads, definitely elevated an already incredible item. I had a cocktail and hot coffee, cocktail was bright and refreshing and the hot coffee was fantastic (I feel like a lot of restaurants don't have good coffee and this was not the case here). I had the smashburger for my entree which was very cheesy and had a great sauce. I really appreciate that the sesame bun did not disintegrate and held up well. Fries were very tasty and a very generous portion. Service was excellent, this place feels both high end and cozy at the same time, the service definitely matched. The space is stunning, excellent views of the water and I can't wait to come back in the summer. The one sour spot was the chairs. I feel terrible for bringing it up, but that's how uncomfortable the chairs are. They have a very deep seat and a slanted back, so you end up sitting perched on the edge of the chair. I am on the short side (5'4") but both my husband and I struggled to get comfortable. If you are over 6 feet I feel like you wouldn't notice any issues. Some of the tables have cushioned benches which are likely more comfortable. Hopefully outdoor seating is different.

    Anne C.

    Had a reservation for dinner with special friends. Our collective first time there. Service and ambiance were excellent though it would've been perfect if the weather cooperated. Their menu is a small plates approach but many are priced at entree range so this is a very expensive meal overall. They recommended 2-3 dishes per person which was close in our experience. Likely 2 pp fine. The food was delicious with some standouts being the tilefish crudo, special heirloom tomato salad, lamb ribs, feta dip, and squid ink pasta (very seafood forward). Drinks were also very good including the mocktails.

    Libbie A.

    Great place for brunch! Fantastic service from Lissette! Beautiful view from the patio. Cocktails and patisserie basket were perfect. Lobster popover and Cubano were delicious. Dessert menu looked good but we were too full. We will be back!

    Would this be an ok spot for older kids - like 7 and 12?

    I would say it depends on how mature they are. This is definitely a restaurant that I can't imagine kids running around or even being loud it.

    How about parking?

    There are garages around the restaurant, but I don't think any specific to the restaurant. I suggest using spot hero, which is an app you can use to reserve a parking spot and they are usually cheaper.

After dining here, my thought was that it's probably because that's as long as they've been open. I have no idea if that's actually true, but that's just how good their food and dining experience is. The very first thing we noticed when we sat at the bar was how refreshing the water was. I immediately got excited for my meal because, as I told my coworker, "Any place that pays this much attention to the small details and cares about serving the highest-quality tasting table water, their meals have gotta be GOOWD!" And the award-winning tofu burger was just that. But equally impressive were the fries. And then the ginger butter and BBQ dipping sauces absolutely stole the show. They were so good that I found myself scrounging around, looking for anything left on the table to dunk into those uniquely layered flavor-packed sauces just so I'd have an excuse to consume a little more. Then came the literal cherry on top...or perhaps the cookie on top. The chef/owner made a surprise appearance at our table and blessed us with some unbelievably delicious cookies to cap off the night. What a joyous way to end an already fantastic meal. Moonshine 152 is the kind of place that gets the little things right, and those little things add up to a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Boston.

Not sure what was up, maybe cause it was Sunday, maybe cause it was close to the end of brunch, regardless it was unacceptable. The waitress we had was bitchy and fake. She kept making sly comments that showed her true colors. She just kept pushing us to order and rushing us, even with drinks. For the record, most people go out to have a good time and chat and slow down and enjoy. In our cause we were celebrating birthdays amongst longtime friends. The place was empty. Staff were setting up for dinner. What is the big deal? We sure as hell paid enough. And my friend tipped on the takeout. Come on. Ridiculous. The waitress coming on for dinner came over to tell us she needed our table at 5:30. It was 4:10...like come on. NEVER AGAIN. Please don't be fooled by everything good you read. Go somewhere else.

While the location and space is great, our dining experience was mediocre. The house-made clam chowder has very good flavor, but it was incredibly salty with a thin broth for a chowder - it could have used more clams and potatoes. To go with the chowder, we shared the Super Greens salad. While I really enjoyed this salad, including the white balsamic vinaigrette, it seemed to be missing some key ingredients listed on the menu. There was no sign of any seeds or quinoa in the salad, and a sparse amount of avocado and strawberries. A good lettuce salad, but it didn't meet the hype of the description (or price $17). Similar to the salad, the menu description for the Loaded Cheeseburger simply didn't match what we received. The burger was supposed to have sautéed onions, but it had sliced raw red onion instead. "Loaded" feels like a setup for disappointment, as there was a scant amount of cheese and bacon on this dry burger patty. Despite not being particularly crispy, I liked the fresh cut French fries, which were mostly small pieces (~one inch) best eaten with a fork. Our server did a nice job, though may have been a bit overwhelmed. Our food arrived before we even received water or had silverware, which we had to request. Oh well. At least we were out of there on time to enjoy the concert across the street, which was awesome!
