How could they go so wrong?. How could they go so wrong with me when all these other review are so positive? We called the restaurant 3 days in advance to ask about vegetarian options, at a prixe fixed dinner. What came as my entree was a small roasted purple onion on arugula garnish, while everyone else had duck. Did they not have any other vegetables in the kitchen? An onion!! Went home with a bad headache from lack of food, but its good story telling.

OUTSTANDING. my husband and I have been there for brunch and it was great, so we thought we'd try it for dinner. We took some old friends visiting Boston and had a very memorable meal. The service was amazing and the food was incredible. I highly recommend this pleasant little gem of a resturant to anyone who lives here now or anyone visiting us. Good job!

Much more than a hotel restaurant, Beacon Hill's preeminent bistro delivers affordable, modern French cuisine in an elegant, relaxed setting.. Helmed by chef James Bond, the BHB kitchen's dependence on fresh, seasonal produce provides area residents and well-heeled out-of-towners with one of the city's more authentic bistro experiences. When not delivering roasted beet salads and steak frites, dutiful waiters cheerfully navigate a cart of homemade desserts between tables. Walls are mostly bare, dish towels substitute for napkins. All three squares are served daily, and it's tempting to never leave--start with a rustic country omelet, followed by a bowl of Breton fish soup for lunch, and finish with sweet sea scallops in a carrot-ginger broth.

Excellent food. We went for Valentine's Day. The wait staff was very professional and attentive. A little rushed, but it was Valentine's Day, so it was perhaps to be expected. The food was excellent - roasted pear salad, escarole, and especially the chocolate tasting menu for dessert were all wonderful. The foie gras, perhaps a little less so. Atmosphere is not too upscale (but still classy). And the value was excellent.
