About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Had dinner with two co-workers in June 2025. It wasn't as good as the Eastern Standard I remember from it's prior location. I found the menu fairly small and uninspired. I had the baked ragu which was solid, but I thought the portion size was pretty modest for $26. No sides included. Overall it was totally fine, but I won't hurry back.

    Was disappointed in some of the food. The burrata with asparagus was very tasty, but the asparagus should have been peeled; it was tough to eat. My dining partner had the lobster gnocchi, which they said was delicious. Their broccolini, too, while having a yummy aioli sauce, was tough to cut and eat; perhaps it should have been peeled. I had the Niçoise salad, which was uninspired. The beans and potatoes were undercooked and the salad dressing seasoning was overly vinegary. And the tuna and eggs were tasteless. The beer and wine selection was good.

    Tonight was our first visit and we didn’t expect it to be so busy given the fact that we were easily able to make a reservation at the last minute (with many options available). It appeared the restaurant was well staffed, but at least at our table on the patio service was lacking. Our server was very apologetic from the start and was more than courteous (offered a comped appetizer and dessert), but then we never got the espressos we ordered and when we received our check it included two items we never ordered. Willing to try again but only when we have ample time for dinner.

    Terrific! Our host who also happens to be the owner, Garrett, was very gracious. The power bowls my friend and I had were made with the freshest ingredients and the chicken was even shredded which was a pleasant surprise and made it more enjoyable to eat. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. We dined al fresco on the deck overlooking iconic Fenway Park, making for a purely enjoyable and memorable lunch. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to dine at sister restaurants in the same locale, Equal Measure and Standard Italian!

    Eastern Standard consistently delivers. We went for their Birds & Bubbles night and had a great evening! Delicious cocktails and phenomenal food. My wife is generally against bone-in chicken but loved the flavor and juiciness from the bucket of chicken special. Everything delivered - from our new waitress, Sadie, to the drinks, the food and the ambiance.

    The management staff was diligent in checking in but our server was new and struggled with almost every aspect of the job, wine pour was incorrect, forgot to fire food, drinks took over 20 mins to get. Once management stepped in it’s was better
