    Not only was the food and setting outstanding, they accommodated my 2 year old who has both egg and dairy allergies. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I loved our first visit to 1928 Beacon Hill last night! We were a little early for our reservation on Saturday night, and expected that we would wait at the bar. The bar was full, but they were able to seat us early. We ordered cocktails, and later wine and beer with dinner. The cocktail and wine list is impressive. My husband had a harder time finding a beer that he recognized, but settled on a Pilsner that he did like. We ordered the coconut shrimp and the wagyu croquettes for appetizers. Both were delicious, but the croquettes were more like pigs in a blanket. They were hot dogs slices wrapped in puff pastry with a honey mustard sauce on the side. They were delicious, but the description was a bit misleading. For entrees, I had the lobster tortellini, which was unbelievably delicious, and my husband had the Cacio e Pepe, also really delicious (I tried a bite). The plating and presentation was beautiful. The service was prompt and efficient, but I can’t say she made a big impression on us. She was very busy. We were seated at the tables in the bar area and the whole room was packed by the time we left (our reservation was at 5:45). Those tables are a little too close together for my liking. Getting up and down is a tight squeeze, and you feel like you’re eating with the people next to you. When I got up to use the restroom I explored the other rooms, which were more spacious and quieter than the busy bar. Next time I would request to sit in the room in the back that’s decorated like a library. There are antique book pages all over the ceiling! The decor was very impressive. It’s got a sexy, fun, yet romantic vibe. Overall we loved everything. Prices are a bit high, but it was a special occasion splurge for us. We really enjoyed everything!
