About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Originally opened in 2005, Garrett Harker’s flagship restaurant has reopened its doors just up Beacon St. only three blocks from its original location. Eastern Standard continues to offer seasonally focused New England interpretations of classic brasserie fare, including raw bar and charcuterie, nostalgic favorites like steak tartare, baked rigatoni, steak frites, and butterscotch bread pudding, and some new soon-to-be-instant-classic dishes. Cocktail legend Jackson Cannon has crafted a beverage menu that features an array of craft cocktails both new and classic, a curated selection of wines, and craft beers from near and far.

Please contact events@eshospitality.com to inquire about hosting your private event or large party reservation.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed brasserie Eastern Standard is back and better than ever at the Bower complex. Snag a seat at the oyster shell-inspired bar or in the mahogany-decked dining room for longtime favorites like the baked rigatoni and roasted bone marrow, plus the same showstopping cocktails that earned the restaurant accolades from Esquire and Tales of the Cocktail.

    The waitress was attentive when we first got there but after that it was very hard to get her attention. The drinks took a while to arrive which could be the bar or the waitress. The food was good. The pasta dish was small for the price.

    Food at serafina nyc is usually much better. It felt like it was pre-done and warmed up and not the usual freshly made pasta. We alws order the same so everything was a bit off.

    Food was good. No AC at the bar. Hot day! Friendly. Nice atmosphere. Also it was a Sunday night. No game. No concert. Lots of rain. So for us it was perfect!

    Trendy spot, definitely seems geared towards a younger crowd. Staff was very nice. Would be a good date spot, but we didn’t love it for brunch. Limited options and pricey for just ok food.

    I was expecting a reincarnation of the Eastern Standard from Kenmore Square. Parts were familiar, and the Proprietor, Garett Harker came to our table with the food and greeted us, which is always special. It was loud. The people at the next table had to get up and stand next to each other to finish a conversation. I was leaning to close to my friends. The service was hit or miss, with the waiter missing in action for long periods of time. Food was good, the steak tartar, the smoked salmon pate were very good. The length of time between apps and the entree was so long, some of the food was cold when we got it. We were hungry, so we ate, finished our wine and left. I will try again, not on a Saturday night.
