Where is the Best Conversation Bar in Boston, Massachusetts?
We’re talking $19 for a BURGER!! What ever happened to the burger being a “food for the people,” anyway? Luckily, it was Paul D’s birthday, so we had a legitimate reason to finally go, not that running a burger blog isn’t reason enough, but the time had come. Outside of the burger, not much surprised me about Radius; a reservation is necessary, the decor is stunning, parking is lousy and it would be an expensive night. Do people usually pay $14 for a cocktail? I must never go out for drinks, so I guess this is the norm. 8:00 on a Friday night I would have guessed the place would have been packed, but no, more than half the tables were empty, and that’s not just my pessimistic view coming through. We were a group of eight, late 20’s to early 30’s and about as nicely dressed as we can get, and with no dress code required, felt we deserved as good a service as anyone else. This isn’t the first place where I felt ageism was in issue and it wont be the last. If we had all worn tuxedos woul
When I walk into this place, I am reminded of the pubs I used to go to when I spend a semester in England. I originally went there because they have my favorite beer, an extremely rare belgium beer called qwak.

The mac and cheese is the best I have had at a restaurant. They also have some more sophisticated dishes for someone who wants adult food. Based on that review, you would think I would have given them five starts. Alas, their service is criminally poor. I leave there feeling like they just do not care. Because the place is packed, there is a good chance that they do not care. They will ignore their customers for long periods of time, even when it is not super crowded. There is no excuse for the way they treat their customers. I will continue to go because I love the beer that I can get nowhere else. I just don’t have to lik
First John Harvards is known for its beer. Since I was having a workday lunch with coworkers I cant comment about the beer this time.Lunch was good and everyone was satisfied. They serve the typical burger salad and sandwich fare and do it well. Prices are reasonable.For lunch the service was quite slow. It took a while to order get our food and get our check. If youre in a rush during your workday you should avoid John Harvards. However if youve got time to spare its worth visiting.
