About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic
Innovative

Your perfect date-night destination, the Glenville Stops nestles on a quiet, residential side-street reminiscent of London's quaint Chelsea district. Quality, flexibility, and especially share-ability are the hallmarks of Nathan Allen’s diverse, award-winning menu, from lamb meatballs to griddled cheese, from charred octopus to roasted beets in a ring of whipped feta. Come early for $1 Select oysters. Enjoy a juicy Stops Burger, a vegetarian Masa Burger, or our unique, flavor-packed Confit Chicken Sandwich. Graze through small plates, or settle down to shareable entrées and innovative desserts. Complimenting Chef Nate’s Latin-Med inspired cooking, we have thirty-one world-class craft beers on tap and thirty wines by the glass, along with a full cellar featuring the finest Cabernets and Riojas.

This is truly a neighborhood gem. If it was more centrally located, with easier parking, it would be packed. The selection of small and large plates makes for grate sharing and having one's own. Several people loved the soup special. Excellent beer and wine choices. We will go again and again and again. Once we are back to using the "T" that will take less time than finding a parking place!

We went on the Friday of a holiday weekend. It was pretty empty. We ordered the following small plates: grilled octopus, mushroom ravioli, and gnocchi. Each plate was delicious. We also ordered draft beer and cider which we enjoyed. The service was very good. We would definitely go there again.

The Glenville Stops is an absolute gem. One of the top 10 restaurants in Boston. Located in an unassuming college neighborhood, TGS delivers innovative and diverse dishes with locally sourced fresh ingredients. Their beer and wine list has perfectly curated selections that pair perfectly with any plate you order. Also noteworthy is their vast Trappist Ale selection. Go if you haven’t, go again if you have.

This was the first time we’ve been back in since 2019, and it was AMAZING. My chicken was so spectacularly delicious that I ate the whole thing, when I’d figured I’d have to take half home. The crispy potatoes on the side were perfect, as was the grilled asparagus our server suggested when I asked for a substitute for the ratatouille. My partner enjoyed his burger, and service was spot-on. I’m so glad they’re still here and can’t wait to go back! (Also - such a great deal!)

Always great food, and they put our family in the quieter side room, which was perfect. Oysters for $1 between 5 and 6 makes it worth it to hit this place up on the early side of the evening. Excellent all they way around.

Went for dinner. Ordered the steak frites. Among the worst steak I’ve ever had. Fries were great. The rest of the food my group ordered was equally disappointing, especially for the price we paid ($200 with tip). Beer list was decent, even though there was an emphasis on niche Belgium beers. Service was slow but fine. Atmosphere was sleepy. Not sure I’ll be back.
