    I felt as though the waitress wasn’t living up to anyone’s expectations absentee is probably the word im looking for here i thought I was being held hostage at one point waiting for a bag and the check and another moment where my girlfriend was asking for some bread just to get some sort of food in her stomach ..

    As always, the food was amazing. And again, as always, the manager and chef made sure I could get eat a spectacular meal despite my restricted diet. Steel & Rye is legitimately unparalleled when it comes to serving fine food with the finest attention to detail. Hands down, my favorite restaurant.

    A reliable go to place. Have dined there many times, usually for dinner. Lunch was interesting, and Aaron, our waiter, only three days into the job, did a fantastic job. The place is very noisy that’s the only bad thing I can say about it.

    Great atmosphere/ambiance. Very warm welcome. Attendant service. Cocktails were perfect. Steak frites and smashed burger were great. Caesar salad was very sloppy, almost no dressing and way too much cheese. Flatbread crust excellent, but mushroom and sausage volume very low, dominated by the taleggio which was overpowering. Re the burger ... very disappointing the restaurant could not provide standard yellow mustard -- come on! Generally very reliable and enjoyable experience, this visit a little less so.

    The place is cute, service ok but it was loud and not very accommodating. Three of the five wanted eggs Benedict but they ran out? The drinks were terribly strong and disgusting. We should have returned them. Also, for a birthday we were told no desserts available until 4pm! I think there are better places to eat!

    The staff was not able to time all the orders for our group. Pizza came 30 min earlier that the rest of the orders and was completely stale before we all could eat. When I brought it up, almost all had the excuse that the pizza comes from another place which is the oven guy in the same restaurant!

    We expected Steel & Rye to be good, but we never expected it to be this fantastic! My husband and I have enjoyed some of the top restaurants in Boston. The food at Steel & Rye was on par, with the bonus of more generous portions for the money. We had the shishito peppers, red snapper ceviche, roasted cabbage, and gemelli. All were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We’ll be back!

    Everything was great except at the very end our coffee was served and it wasn’t hot -am I OK to do this offered to bring over hot coffee but by then the dessert was sitting on the table for a good 15 Bit of a bummer to end a great meal on that note.

    We brought guests from out of town, they were very impressed. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, she was personable and attentive. We had the cerviche which was Amazing, as well as some other apps which did not disappoint. The Squash pizza is now a favorite. I do miss the Kale pizza though ( but I also like that the menu changes from time to time).

    Great food. I particularly liked the stuffed squash blossoms. The space was nice in an industrial fantasy kind of way, but the sound was too loud for me echoing among the high rafters. The service was friendly and happy, but somehow, inattentive at the same time. I think partly because the large multisectional space didn't make it easy for the servers to keep track of their tables.

    Everything was great. People very friendly, Most food good and above average except the cut of beef. It was over cooked. Asked for medium rare but came out medium +. The Burrata needs to come with bread. Make sure to ask for bread if not offered when you order the Burrata. It was delicious, but should be paired with bread. Great experience over all.
