Reviews for Stillwater in Boston, MA
Food here was really good with a great selection of options. Portion sizes are very generous and the price is pretty good for... Boston. Small issues in that the menu is only available online and it was quite noisy. Read more
The plus: there is a kids menu even if not on the website, the atmosphere is nice with a lot of office groups for happy hour,... server was charismatic and the price was fair for the location and type of restaurant. The minus: the food is really standard.Although it looks extremely good on the menu, the execution and taste are not great. We had the burrata and the salsa was waytoo salty. The brussel sprouts are the type you can do at home in a few minutes, the pulled pork Mac & cheese had good Mac &cheese but very bland pulled pork. The sweet potato dumplings tasted cinnamon/nutmeg and had a Play Dough texture... The lavacake was quite good at last! Overall not impressed at all with the food for dinner, probably a good choice for cocktails andbites. Read more
Amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. Every time I'm here I have a great experience. The pulled pork mac and cheese is SO... delicious. They also have a unique selection of cocktails - my favorite is the thank you next. Read more
Stillwater wowed me with its dinner menu and outstanding service. I had the pulled pork sandwich on brioche sliced toast. Very... filling and flavorful. Then the deviled eggs had fresh and fluffy filling with grains of sea salt. The warm and freshlyprepared ricotta donuts with dark chocolate sauce were the best I ever had. My picture shows 4, but there were 5 or 6, and theywere all sizeable. Servers were on point and super attentive and filled my ice tea and water glasses. Read more
The sweet potato dumplings were good, the rice and beans were average, and the buttermilk chicken was excellent. The drinks were... great. My only real complaint is how loud and echoey the dining room was; it has a very industrial vibe and we basically had toyell all of dinner. Overall, the menu had lots of good options and was reasonably priced. Read more
Drinks were really good here (except they put the hot coffee drink in a copper cup when we went there for brunch). My cousin and... his wife enjoyed the pancakes and Oh Benny (the restaurant's spin on biscuits and gravy). The Benedict wasn't anything specialand arrived a bit cold (the biscuits were hard, like bread that's been microwaved then set out to cool). Four stars is becausethe staff were so attentive, helpful, and friendly. Read more
The vegan pork rinds were kind of interesting but way too salty. I also thought the texture was more akin to pan crackers; they... weren't as substantial as pork rinds. Ragu was really tasty and lamby but the noodles were just a bit overcooked and thefocaccia tasted a bit stale. Apple crumble was the most disappointing. Hot enough to burn towards the edges of the cup but theinside parts were very cold. Very good value for a snazzy bar in downtown Boston though. Read more
Excellent food with attractive presentation. Interesting menu with a nice range of options. My salmon salad was great with a... fresh cut of fish and my daughter’s turkey mac & cheese looked appetizing, as well. We tried a couple of the cocktails fromthe menu, and all were very good. They weren’t very busy and perhaps that was because the host and table service were not spoton? Would definitely go back, if a friend invited me. Read more
