Restaurants near William C. Nell House

Excellent food and service, as usual. Terrific place. At the brunch hour may be good to cluster families with young kids. Not everyone loves a toddler for brunch. Short of that, amazing experience.

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.

Had a late lunch at Ma Maison with friends to celebrate a birthday. Everything was perfect. We had a corner table which was nice. We shared a few appetizers - The escargot are always excellent. The smoked salmon that Jacky smokes himself is one of my favorites. It was served with lightly toasted break - but the bread and butter that comes to the table when you sit down is pretty fabulous. I had a blue cheese burger cooked perfectly medium rare on the rare side. It was served with skinny, tasty French fries. Someone else had a very fresh salad and French onion soup. The birthday girl had the crispy poached eggs over a bed of frisée. The desserts were wonderful - one gigantic profiterole - more than enough to share among three people and we also had a huge Baked Alaska. It was creamy and delicious. Highly recommend the restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Our dining experience was fantastic from beginning to end; we enjoyed every moment. We even had a good laugh over the mix-up with the wagyu, but honestly, it turned out to be the best we've ever had. I can't think of a single dish or dessert we didn't love, and a big shoutout to Jared, the pastry chef, for making my early birthday dinner special. I really hope no 9 sticks around because the food here is the best in the city. Again thank you for amazing evening

It had been 9 years since our last experience at Toscano and last night did not disappoint. Katie was amazing, as was the food. Toscano is one of those places that (almost) makes me wish I lived on this side of the country. Don't hesitate, just go!
