Klinttin LynchApril 2, 2011Avoid the French Onion soup! You could get a petter product at Panerra Bread.
Enjoy a whiskey smash & free wifi (just enter any room # when prompted)
Tony PaterraSeptember 14, 2009Go here and get a Sazerac, Whiskey Smash, or Manhattan from any of the bartenders.
I have a sore throat and no voice right now... Drinking this Metamorphosis has nearly cured me
- Best late night selections; perfect for an post Red Sox game hang out!
Very over hyped, I have never had a good meal/cocktail here. Also, avoid lemons in your drink as the health dept. recently reported that Eastern Standard does not wash lemons at the bar (01/22/14).
Order many strange cocktails; have the head bartender compliment your drinking skills.
Boston PhoenixJuly 20, 2010Revived comfort food like cod fritters, baked rigatoni, and steak frites are delicious, but with drinks this good, you may opt for a liquid dinner. Try an egg cocktail like a gin flip for protein. Read more
Christine DeNoonSeptember 5, 2010Dissapointed because our eggs Benedict was cold! Even after sending it back. Overall, things could be hotter - including the restaurant itself!
- ES has the best shrimp cocktail in Boston, hands down!
Boston's best cocktail bar without the attitude - ask Nicole behind the bar for an Old Cuban and thank me later. One more thing, if you're hungry the Baked Rigatoni is redonkulous.
Go to Eastern Standard. Drink cocktails until the world makes sense.
Jake SmithDecember 1, 2011Order the baked rigatoni, which has lamb sausage and comes in an iron skillet.
Julie HayesAugust 10, 2013Bar is overcrowded, over-priced drinks. I will never come here again. I'm not able to stand as long as it was needed to wait for a table.
If you haven't tried the baked rigatoni, that's the call.
