Best Historic Restaurants in Jamaica Plain

Comfort Kitchen has by far the best restaurant in Boston. The food, drinks, ambiance, and service are wonderful. The quality far exceeds the price you pay. Would highly recommend Saturday and Sunday brunch in addition to dinner. The dumplings are amazing.

I have eaten here for dinner before and the food was delicious, this was my first brunch experience there and the food was still amazing. It is decorated for Christmas right now so it is definitely worth a try this month!

The staff was courteous seated us promptly as soon as we arrived. The host offered to take a photo of us with a lobster. Great overall experience. Our drinks came out quickly. Our server was polite ,friendly and knowledgeable. The clam chowder was amazing. The cod was out of this world great experience dining in the oldest restaurant in the United States. Highly recommend.

The manager went out of his way to make our family group of 8 comfortable. He had the loud music turned very low so we could have a conversation. The food was excellent! I had the best steak - 12 oz. prime sirloin perfectly cooked to medium with garlic mashed potatoes and side green salad. Others had wonderful crab cakes and miso glazed bass. At our request we had a table apart from others, but in general the tables are well spaced and the restaurant is spacious.

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.
