Best Restaurants for People Watching in South End

As expected for upscale pizza and pasta restaurant. Dependable pasta dishes (although the bolognese was a bit watery). Dependable pleasant service and pleasant space.

We love French restaurants but Aquitaine is our favorite. Great menu and wine list, service is exceptional, ambiance superb. Xoxo

My husband and I visit Lincoln Tavern often! Specifically on Tuesdays because of the $1 oysters! We have yet to have a bad experience, we always try a new entree we have never been disappointed! The drinks on point food on point service on point! Last night was our anniversary and Victoria was our “server” she was amazing! She was sweet not over bearing, really she was AWESOME! We will not ever not go to Lincoln! We are planning a trip for brunch as the brunch menu calls our name!

Great place and atmosphere. Service, food really good. Fantastic life music (when playing). Definitely plan to come back

We had an amazing meal to bring in the New Year at Contessa’s! The view was delightful with Christmas lights, the State House, Church steeple and the high rises along with The Public Garden. Pedro, our server, and Sarai were so attentive! The focaccia bread and smoked olives were a pleasant start. The entrées were scrumptious! Pasta was perfect. Dessert was delicious! Thank you, Pedro and Sarai!
