Best Family Style Restaurants in Theater District

This was an absolutely amazing experience!!! We came for lunch and were blown away!! Damon was our server and was such a wonderful help. There were so many things on the menu we wanted to try, that he suggested we make them into courses and even had items split for us, so both of us could try. The lobster bisque in itself was AMAZING!!! Lobster in every bite, warm and creamy... the perfect food for the weather in BOSTON...Honestly, I could have stopped with the bisque...but the tuna/noodle salad came...my husband had the oysters and tuna tartar...Then we split the WELLINGTON...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...life should really offer more WELLINGTON!!! It was PERFECT... We Love Boston and her food, but the MOO was all that...definitely will be Back....super shout out to Damon for walking us through the menu and helping us... the splitting of the wellington was brilliant... Thank you MOO!!!

This place never disappoints! It was a perfect place to go for Valentine’s Day! As usual the food and drinks were delicious and the staff was so friendly and accommodating with food allergies. Thank you! Can’t wait to go back.

The experience was delightful starting with the drinks very well made concoctions and the appetizers to the meals then deserts do not disappoint. Service was great and extremely professional displayed for a great Valentines dinner with my wife. Definitely worth it and the food made from scratch suits all for accommodations. The scenery with the dimmed lights and portraits throughout made for a nice setting to dine in.

We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.

Enjoyed a nice dinner with my daughter. Our server Tessa was outstanding. She was very pleasant and told us about the special cocktail available. My daughter tried it and enjoyed it very much. Our food was tasty and came as ordered. The restaurant was not crowded for a Friday night. We were seated in a booth at my request. Glad we made the visit. I look forward to coming back!
