Outdoors is first-come first-serve so book standard and if tables are available they will seat you outside, no problem.

- KKimGreater Boston •17 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 22, 2025Gorgeous, historic Boston space for a drink or bite to eat. Strangely winter-y menu for summer (winter squash, etc). Ordered the mussel dish, which the menu stated was served with “potato straws” but was actually served with (very good) grilled bread. No explanation or acknowledgment. Still good, but a bit strange for an “upscale” spot.More infoOAK Long Bar + KitchenPrice: Expensive• American• Back Bay•4.5
