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.

Steak Frites Sunday
Multiple dates available
Every Sunday night, we’re serving up a saucy steak menu! Choose between bavette ($30), NY Strip ($45), and ribeye ($60). Each plate comes with herb frites, a crunchy caesar salad, and your choice of sauce: chimichurri, spicy béarnaise, or horseradish cream. We'll also offer chicken and salmon frites for all you non-steak lovers. This Sunday-only menu will also feature raw bar, fan-favorite sides, and appetizers like steak tartare, mac and cheese, and bone marrow. Don't fret, we'll be able to accommodate all dietary restrictions and preferences! It’s a proper Sunday feast, week after week!

Eastern Standard never disappoints! A wide range of appetizers makes it easy to choose something for everyone - you can't go wrong with the steak tartar or salt cod fritters! Great selection of cocktails, wine and beer. The atmosphere is fun, lively or cozy. The service is impeccable.

We were late arriving (30 minutes after our stated reservation). We had been in contact as there was an accident that had us stuck in traffic. We had a concert to attend at 8. We sat down at 6:30 (they happily held our table) and they moved everything along so that we could make our concert. The food was yummy. The waitstaff was attentive and very polite. The bar (we sat on the high tops) was full, but not too noisy and the vibe was perfect for a preconcert meal and drinks. They were great!

We were a party of four and we all ended up getting the burgers which were excellent! We also enjoyed some tasty cocktails and then went to a concert at Fenway. This was a perfect location. Great ambience, and great service!

Our server Jackie was amazing! The cocktails were made perfectly and were prepared and served very quickly. I recommend the Chicken Breast and the Baked Rigatoni. Close to Fenway so good walking distance before any event.

My wife and I enjoyed another delicious dinner at Eastern Standard. The food was excellent and ambiance was romantic and fun, ideal to celebrate our anniversary. The service was attentive and helpful as is always the case at ES. Thank you!

We went for the Sekali pop up event. The sekali dishes are fine but I must admit that the dishes at the Sekali pop up in Branch Line ware much better in taste and originality. The laksa agnolotti were quite salty, as were the salted cod croquettes from the ES menu. I understand that salted cod is salty itself but the inside were ok, the outside crust tasted like they were coated in a layer of salt. Ambience at the patio was great. Service was good but the servers’ workload seemed too much for them to check on us some time.
