Restaurants near J F Kennedy Birthplace National Historic Site

This was our first visit to Eastern Standard since it has re-opened in its new location. It's a large space that feels warm and welcoming. We were a party of six so we tried it all... salads, appetizers, mains, sides and desserts. The menu offers something for everyone, from a hamburger for our pickiest eater to braised lamb for the more sophisticated palette. We all loved our main courses (I had the roasted chicken and it was cooked perfectly)..the bay scallop crudo app and macaroni and cheese side were especially noteworthy, as well as a decadent apple cider donut crisp. In addition to the great food, the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Sat at the bar for brunch, served by an excellent bartender--a real craftsman--patient explaining the ingredients of the cocktails. Drinks and food was terrific. My only minor criticisms are that the seats at the bar essentially have no backs and are horribly uncomfortable. There is no reason chairs with backs can't be used. Secondly, they offered no black tea, only herbal. I'm not a coffee drinker, but needed that morning caffeine and no tea option was available. Again, no reason not to offer that, especially at brunch.

Our server was excellent. She offered menu explanations and was very attentive to our needs. We were thrilled with the generous Bento boxes we ordered!

Always my favorite place to go to! Had friends visiting from Toronto and just had to bring them here. Fun vibe and great food! Mushroom risotto, pizza, kale Cesare salad, roasted chicken all amazing!!! Great service too:)

Great service and great food as always! The staff was very friendly and helpful.
