    This is about the 4th time my friend and I have celebrated our birthdays by going out to 75 Chestnut. I love this restaurant because it’s festive, but casual. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There were enough vegetarian options. There just weren’t any draft IPA beers available which was disappointing to me. Our server was wonderful. She was so friendly and attentive, and did everything she could to make our dinner perfect. To top it all, the restaurant gave us a special birthday dessert with a candle as a surprise.

    Great spot near TD Garden. The food (salmon and chicken) were perfectly cooked and flavorful, as well as the smashed potato and carrot appetizers. Stacy was very attentive and helpful in finding a gluten/dairy free meal. Seating is spread out so that even when the restaurant filled up, it was still not noisy.

    Excellent service and delicious food! My Godson suggested this restaurant to celebrate his birthday and it was a great choice. The waitress was very engaging but not over the top. Drinks and food came pretty quickly. I would definitely go back.
