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.

    Average food and service. Noisy. We'll probably try something different next time.

    We had a stellar experience at Eastern Standard. The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktails were interesting (in a really good way!) and the space is gorgeous (although a skosh on the noisy side). But it was service that tipped our night over the top. It was exceptional: our server Jackie was absolutely wonderful. She treated our group so well, and was amazingly attentive, especially given how busy the restaurant was. This was my first time in Eastern Standard’s not-so-new-anymore space, and I don’t know why I waited!

    Excellent food and drink. Steak frittes was excellent (skirt steak cooked precisely to order), as was the lobster gnocchi. Good service at the bar.

    Great cosy vibe for a cold winter evening. Service was really great. Our server was attentive and prompt. Food was punching above the price so really good value for money. Get the Pearl Street to drink - it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

    Our group enjoyed a very good Sunday brunch, including fried calamari, steak frites, steak tartare and a burger. Our server was friendly and professional and looked after us very nicely.

    This has become our favorite go-to date night place! My husband has gluten sensitivity and I'm lactose intolerant, and they have always accommodated us very well. Their cocktails and mocktails are excellent, the food is always delicious, the portions are just right, and the price is very affordable! We've always received excellent service from the wait staff and the managers and hosts are welcoming as well. An excellent restaurant!

    Just exceptional on all fronts. Felt well-taken care of from the moment we walked through the doors. Food was outstanding and was coursed and timed comfortably. Beverage selection is extensive and staff members are knowledgable about offerings or easily access management to help with suggestions. Never felt rushed but didn't feel like anything was dragging. There's a reason why Eastern Standard had historically been an easy choice for just about any sort of occasion, and our experience in their new location picked right up without skipping a beat.
