What People Are Saying About Beacon Hill Bistro
The Editor

Citysearch
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.

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.

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!

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.
