Great Drinks, Cool Atmosphere

by ericsonsnm

I have become a regular at Silvertone. As someone who works in downtown Boston, I am always looking for a good lunch spot. Their food is delicious, affordable, and they have a great bar selection. Service is spot-on and consistent, and it is fun whether you go on a weekday for lunch, or on a Saturday night for drinks with friends.

Great Food: Cheap Prices

by YEAGER

Silvertone is a great place to eat if looking for good prices. Drinks are very affordable as well. The third time I went in, the bartenders knew my name and drink of choice. Very cool place in the financial district.

• Pros: Prices

Good Prices

by nunesie23

This place is a good after work date place. The prices are good for comfort food, although I would say the the menu is pretty small. The ambiance is nice. There is usually a long wait for a table on a Thur. or Fri. night.

It's Okay.......

by SamanthaSwank

The place is Under Ground - Hence, no windows. Typical Pub Fare, Dark. Service is okay. Prices are good. Locate is okay, Downtown but not in the most "happening" area of downtown Boston. Close to the "T".

• Pros: Price, "T" accessible, downtown good 4 meeting friends who work in Boston
• Cons: Dark, No Windows, Typical Menu

Techno Music Restaurant AAAA OK!!

by youknowthis

I thought the place was So So. Very small (bathroom is the size of a refrigerator), very dark, long wait to be seated and very crowded on a thursday night. Definitly NOT the place to go in party more then 4. Some what difficult to get a drink order when the bar area is jam packed with thirsty happy hour goers and people dining at the bar. The service was nothing to brag or write home about. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with fries and a salad. I am a huge chicken fan and felt that it was slightly over cooked. Waaay to much work for a meesly peice of chicken. The 2 best qualities are the speed in which they deliver there food and the slightly below average prices. Will I go again? Depends what friend will drag me there, but possibly for a beer!!!

• Pros: Speed and Prices
• Cons: Crowded, loud and not for a large party

a good 1st visit

by melized07

being a new res to boston i wanted to try some local area places to eat. After doing a little research online I found this little gem. Its the perfect place for anyone esp. college goers. Good prices with great food. that can be a hard find in bean town. I had the tips, amazing mashed potatoes. ask for tips med rare, no more. the chilli was some of the best I've ever had. I loved the music too, i always wanted to try swing dancin. But this hip little area is def gonna be my new fav lil place.

Great value

by thaiboo

I've been there three times for dinner and was always very satisfied with the food and service, not to mention unbeatable prices. The $10 steak tips comes with a generous salad, porkchops were heavenly, and the fish special I had the last time was very good. Steak tips tends to be on the dry side, though, maybe ask for 'rare' to compensate. Always had a professional waiter, never had or witnessed any attitude or drama. My only regret is that they don' t have dessert - not even ice cream. My hope is that one day they will, and the meal will be perfect. I am definitely looking forward to the next meal at Silvertone.

• Pros: Food, drinks, decor, prices!!
• Cons: Can be loud

Snobby Hostess - GREAT bartenders

by mimi8200

I would have expected the elitist attitude of Silvertone's hostess "Mo" to come from an exclusive, upscale restaurant in New York City, NOT from a place like Silvertone's. She was on some sort of high and mighty kick. We were a party of three, with two more joining us for drinks later in the evening. I put in our name for a table of three and was told the wait was an hour. So at that point I told her, make it for five- by the time we sit the other two would join us. Well 45 minutes later she tells us our table is ready and is everyone in our party here. Well, we were still waiting on two. So she refused to seat us at a table for five and instead sat a couple at a large table. What I didn't enjoy was her snobby response to me: "You've been going back and forth with this 3-5-3-5 business, haven't you?" As if I was making it up to get a table sooner?!? Excuse me, who do you think you are, Mz. Hostess? Apparently "Mo" forgot her job was to be a HOSTESS, which, by definition, means she should be accommodating and welcoming. So we ended up eating at the bar, the bartenders were a hoot- very nice, and almost made up for the hostess' lack of, well, hostessing. The food was only ok. I was expecting more of a "wow" factor. My advice? Don't go when there is a crowd, and when Mo is hostessing, eat at the bar.

• Pros: Nice bartenders, good drinks
• Cons: Snotty hostess

best first date ever!

by bearstallard

Last year I went on a first date at Silvertone... and almost one year later we're still together. So perhaps I might be a little too biased to give a review but none the less here I am. Now living in Chicago, I miss the nights I'd get off work, dash quickly over to Sivertone, sit down with my co-workers and order a bottle of Vueve for a mere 50 dollars! Oh so quickly the stress of the night dwindled away! The night of the first date was some sort of breast cancer fundraiser/ anniversary party and a party it was! Since April is only a few months away we were hoping to have a wonderful anniversary, however we can't remember the actual date. So here I am writing a review hoping that someone who knows this info is randomly reading this review and will help a poor romatic out. And for everyone else- definately check this place out!!!

Diamond in the Rough

by jbj02115

Silvertone is one of my favorites. The steak tips are the best I've had and very reasonable. The wine list has a great selection and a unique pricing policy, $10 over cost. For $30 you get a bottle that could be $55 in another place. Although best known for their Mac & Cheese and Meatloaf, I also suggest checking out other items on the menu as well. For a while I was in the habit of just trying something new, never had a bad meal. The bartenders are smooth and professional, no rookies here. It can be crowded, though they have some of the most generous booths in town. Great for lunch also.

• Pros: Reasonable food and outstanding value on the wine list
• Cons: When crowded, the wait can be long.
