Best Historic Restaurants in South End

Literally the best risotto I’ve ever had, and my wife loved the bucatini. We’ll definitely be back.

We went for jazz brunch before the theater and it was lively and festive. We all ended up getting the Eggs Benedict and a variety of coffee. The waitress was great and accommodated any manner of hot/iced, regular/decaf, with different creamers. She was wonderful. The food came out quick and hot and they also accommodated our desire to get next door to the theater efficiently. The bartenders, too, were lovely while we waited for our table. All in all a quick but fulfilling experience.

great food, service, and drinks. Only complaint was that a party at a nearby table was taking multiple photos with point and shoot camera with flash, and with the dark lighting, it hurt the vibe

The food was really good. We had fresh oysters, clam chowder, sea scallops, fried clams, and Boston creme pie. The server even brought us a serving of cornbread while we were waiting for the food to arrive. Outstanding all around. The booth was a little tight, but hey, its the oldest restaurant in the US, so maybe folks were smaller back then. :-)

Grill 23 has been here for decades, and they deserve to be. The wait staff is the best, food delicious and it is very comfortable. A neighborhood gem. One can tell that everybody is having a good time.
