Charles River Bistro

20-25 min wait after ordering, some of the fried chicken was cold, the added grilled chicken on my salad was a 1/3rd of a serving, half of the spinach in the salad was going bad. All for $50. Dept. of public health, please inspect ASAP.

have been a regular at The Bistro since 2015 and I highly recommend! Where else can you get a bottle of water in the park? The food is always so delicious and the staff is kind! My daughter loves playing with their outdoor games and the piano they have. We recently hired The Bistro to cater her 6th birthday party and they were amazing! Everything was stress-free for us, great kid-friendly menu and our guests loved the food too! Highly recommend!!

What a charming little venue! I was visiting from out of town this past weekend and my friends and I saw online that The Bistro was doing a stand-up comedy night! We decided to buy their "Comedy Meal Deal" which included an entree, a side , and a drink! I personally got the lobster roll it was a special occasion and a side of fries. The food was delicious and the show was HILARIOUS. I has such a great time, and highly recommend it to anyone who has yet to visit! PS- keep an eye out for any future comedy shows- it was so fun!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place! It's my favorite place in Boston, I always go there when I visit. Their burgers are amazing that's for sure my favorite dish. Customer service was phenomenal! I don't have anything bad to say about them, simply love this restaurant.

The Bistro is the most wonderful place to be in the fall. Not only is the scenery picturesque, but The Bistro's charm and hospitality is so welcoming. It's the perfect spot to stop and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and a gooey grilled cheese sandwich at least that's my favorite combo. I can't believe they stay open into November!

I was extremely disappointed with the Charles River Sunset Dinner that me & a friend had about 3 weeks ago. First of all, I thought I was at the wrong location when I came across what appeared to be a hot dog stand with some outdoor patio furniture. I was shocked when the waitress/hostess seated us. So shocked that it was actually comical. There were no white table cloths as shown on your website. We were seated in an area that was not landscaped or sectioned off from the public. This location would have been adequate for burgers or hot dogs but not for your moderately priced menu. We were served our food without dinner napkins. When napkins were requested, we were given 2 tiny black cocktail napkins. Your website really caught my eye, but I was definitely fooled.

The Bistro is my go to lunch spot! Not only do they have a delicious variety on their menu Burgers, Wraps, Lobster Rolls, you name it!, but the location cannot be beat! I love sitting back in their brand new seating area and relaxing with a view of the Charles while on my break. Plus they have a different food special every day of the week!

I was out on a run the other day on The Esplanade and I was pleasantly surprised by this cute little restaurant! I stopped by and enjoyed an iced cold lemonade and a grilled chicken sandwich- both delicious! The staff was so nice and told me about their Jazz Brunches on Sundays- I can't wait to come back!

I highly recommend the Sunset Prix-Fixe Dinner at The Charles River Bistro. The menu offers a wide variety of hors d’oeuvres, salads, entrées, and desserts to choose from for your four course meal. My meal was absolutely delicious. I have a sweet tooth, so I was particularly excited about the molten brownie sundae, and it did not disappoint. Even better, the service was great! My food arrived in a timely manner and the staff was incredibly helpful and straightforward. Everyone should head on down to the Esplanade and try out the Sunset Prix-Fixe Dinner at The Bistro!

“I went to The Bistro for the first time this summer for their jazz and Soul brunch and had such an amazing time! I got a delicious lobster roll and an iced cold lemonade. Plus the band was amazing! Highly recommend!”
