What People Are Saying About Audubon Circle Restaurant Bar

The Scene
Standing in stark contrast to the Fenway area's numerous beery sports bars and college dives, Audubon provides area residents and less jocular Sox fans with a stylish, and affordable, drinking and dining option. The minimalist interior evokes European chic, thanks to lots of deep woods and black accents--it's similar to sister establishments Middlesex Lounge and Cambridge, 1. Pleasant waitresses deliver pitchers of American microbrews from the angular bar.
The Food
Perfect for post-game noshing, the menu features several inventive appetizers and sandwiches. Top starters include lightly fried pot stickers (served in a Chinese takeaway carton) and a roasted vegetable quesadilla with cilantro sour cream. The affordable sandwich list contains several pressed options (green apple and Brie) and a juicy, locally renowned burger. After 4pm, a troika of entrees are served--try the grilled tuna steak with banana salsa.

I stumbled across Audobon on a whim one afternoon about 2 years ago. We were looking for a late lunch and a drink or two before checking in to our hotel. Our waitress was Rabit (or atleast thats what it said on the slip) she was absolutely the most attentive and friendly waitress I have ever had. She made terrific suggestions and made our overall experience terrific. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Boston. Last time i was in Rabit was still there! The food is also very good. Everytime I come back to the city I come in for a meal.

I went to this restaurant/ bar a couple weeks ago. Fantastic service, extremely friendly waitress, and the best schnitzel I have had outside of Germany. I plan on going back with my girlfriend ASAP.

If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Seriously, I can't even believe Audobon has so many comments about the "excellent service." My boyfriend and I sat down at a table on a fairly quiet Tuesday night (there is no hostess...you just sit and wait for a server.) We waited for 15 minutes as we watched the servers daydreaming in the back. We waited patiently while no one came over to take care of us, and then a table of 2 guys came in and sat down. There was a server at their table within 3 minutes. My boyfriend asked for a manager...there was not one one site. The server he spoke to was not apologetic and really could not have cared less. So, it's a bunch of ignorant college kids running this establishment?! My boyfriend and I were SO disgusted.....we left. In my opinion, the service is HORRENDOUS, so who cares about the food? We walked over to Eastern Standard where we were treated very well and had an awesome salad and burger! We will never go back to Audobon (and it's a 5 minute walk from our home.) DON'T EVEN BOTHER WALKING INTO AUDOBON!!
