Reasonably good food if you're in the mood for something heavy (I had the scallops with mushrooms and asparagus and it managed to be drenched in oil and with some sort of high-fat base; my companions had the patty melt, which was a huge plate of fries plus a dripping-with-fat burger on rye bread (a Big Mac meal at McDonald's would have been about half the calories!). The dining room is kind of noisy. Service is good.
Review Source:My Wife and I dined here for the first time. We had high hopes after having great meals and drinks at Russell House and Grafton St. We were not at all disappointed. We felt it lived up to how it was advertised.
Our waiter was very helpful, offering recommendations (but not in any sort of over-zealous or annoying way). We took his hints and had a great meal. We had 2 cocktails and one craft beer, and all were unique and satisfying. The meal started with the bacon 3-way and crispy mussels. The bacon jalapeno poppers were our favorite of the 3-way and the mussels were lightly battered, very crispy, fresh and awesome.
Main course was the roaster porchetta and scallops. They were prepared very well and the sides were unexpected but interesting (in a good way). We then finished with a sorbet trio, which brought the meal to a wonderful end.
The whole time the staff was attentive and helpful. We look forward to going there again.
Great place to end a nice Saturday walking around Harvard Square.
This place was really good and decently priced. I went here with the gf and another couple, 4 drinks, two apps, and 4 entrees for a total bill of around $140, not bad. The bacon three ways and tasting of toast was pretty good, especially the duck pastrami. I got the prochetta and it was delicious. The gf got the salmon which was good, but i find it hard to mess up salmon. The other two got the trout and the steak and i sampled both and they were tasty. The cocktails were certainly above average and wasnt just a mixed drink.
The atmosphere was great and its in a great location.
The best offering from the Grafton Group, Park is cozy restaurant meets college professor's library. With more whiskey.
Starting with drinks: Bantam and other local brews on tap, plus a good selection of bottles and a weekly cask selection. Creative cocktails plus a few classics are well mixed - personal favorites have been the warming 1919 with rye, Old Monk, Italian vermouth, and mole bitters, and the refreshing 5-Star Buck featuring aged rhum, lime, pineapple, ginger ale, and amaro.
While the entrees I've had are reasonably tasty, all the mains are pretty heavy, even when incorporating seasonal summer vegetables. Where Park really stands out is with the appetizers, where nearly every dish is a winner. The must have is the crispy fried mussels: crunchy batter surrounding the light bivalves with slices of fried preserved lemon and horseradish dip. The salt and pepper shrimp are cooked properly and seasoned well, with pequillo peppers atop a salad, and the tasting of toasts or bacon three ways are always excellent bites. The local cheese board with rotating daily selections is always nicely paired with fruit and plenty of bread, a great way to start or end your meal.
Park takes reservations, but on most weeknights walk-ins are easily accommodated. A great spot for a date or to take visitors when touring around Harvard Square, and prices that are fairly reasonable. Keep up the good work!
Atmosphere:
dressy/casual, lower lighting, warm and comfortable
Menu:
No bread before your meal - PARK serves light crackers and a cheese spread, so delicious!
We had the Bacon 3 Way for an app, I HIGHLY recommend.
We had the scallops, lamb belly, and brisket - all great. They were fattier pieces of meat...cooked to perfection so they melt in your mouth and you actually want to eat them...but fatty nonetheless. Everything was very earthy and homey.
Service was great, drinks (I heard) were good. Definitely recommend!
I am not a food snob. Â I like food that melts in my mouth and this place does it.
I have had just about everything on their menu and everything is fricking great.
So are the drinks and the space. Â I am past being hip and cool and wow and now so a smidge of that filters through the place but screw it, the food is great.
As a self-proclaimed food-snob, I can say that Park is absolutely amazing. We spent the night sitting at the bar, with excellent service from Chris, the bar manager. He was great, a true artist to watch make drinks. He was attentive and definitely chatted with us, without being intrusive to our conversations. The whole staff was friendly and the restaurant ran smoothly. Food and drinks came out in reasonable time and the atmosphere provided for a nice setting.
On to the food, I would recommend everything I tried, which is a rarity for me. The confit chicken wings substantial in size. Moist on the inside, crispy on the outside, with a sweet but not sticky sauce. The duck leg was great. The peas, potatoes and greens with it really provided for a nice bite when enjoyed together. And the desserts were fabulous. I split the spice cake and chocolate terrine with my family. Both were well made, clearly fresh and not too sweet.
I would definitely recommend Park to anyone.
This review only covers the bar. Â I came here to meet somebody and we couldn't think of an alternative to Russell House Tavern. Â Sad.. there just aren't that many choices in Harvard Square.
Still.. scored two seats at the bar. Â Asked them to mix me up something delicious with cucumber. Â Decent drink. Â Not my best cucumber drink.. I would say that goes to the Back Bay Social Club for the Ummm.. something drink.
Drinks are pricey at what you would expect from Boston. Â A little over $10. Â Still better than Russell House Tavern. Â
Decor isn't that great.. less modern and more wood-like.
If there is something Rachael Ray taught me during her simpler days in $30 dollars a day, it's that you can't go wrong with asking locals. Â After an intense learning session at Harvard (yes...Hah-vard, my dear), I went to Park for dinner. Â I loved that they start you off with cheese drizzled with balsamic vinegar and some crispy flat bread. Â Something about the half roasted chicken attracted me; perhaps it was the mushroom bread pudding and the collard greens it came with. Â It was absolutely perfect. Â Along with a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc, it made for a perfect meal. Â This place is perfect for a group of friends looking to catch up and hang out as well as a couple looking for a nice, romantic dinner together. Â Great choice in Harvard Square.
Review Source:While the noise level can be a bit loud - this is a fun place for a night out. Â Excellent drinks - my husband told our server what he wanted in a drink and the bartender concoted the perfect drink. Â Bacon 3 way appetizer is a delicious indulgent treat. Â Brisket was just delicious and melted in my mouth. Â My daughter had the lamb belly entree and declared it just great. Â The mushroom bread pudding side - yum! Â There was no room for dessert so we will have to return - skip the app and leave room for desert.
Service excellent and very helpful.
Even though I didn't love my entree, I absolutely loved my experience at Park. Â The atmosphere is a bit "too cool for school" which I love. Â It's absolutely beautiful inside. Â Very classy. Â Our server was knowledgeable and knew the menu well. Â She even asked many questions when people ordered cocktails to make sure she made it exactly as my co-diners wanted it.
On to the food. Â Instead of bread, Park serves a crispy cracker type thing with a cheese spread. Â I personally enjoyed this WAY more than bread and it felt lighter. Â We started out with the lobster and crab dip. Â Homemade pita chips were great with the decadent dip. Â Definitely a great appetizer. Â I also had a bite of my husband's duck croquette with a fried egg on top... it was excellent.
I was a little disappointed with my entree.  I got the trout (warning:  It comes with all  of the skin on, so if that makes you squeamish, don't get it).  Luckily, I like fish skin, but the fish itself wasn't that well seasoned so it was pretty bland.  The "roasted vegetable gratin" on the side was tasty enough, but I couldn't tell what the vegetables I was eating actually were since they were so transformed.
Either way, I would definitely come back and try another entree. Â This was definitely one of the more pleasant dining experiences I've had in a while.
Seriously, thank goodness Park rolled into the neighborhood because there was a dearth of legit places to get a fancy cocktail in Harvard Square...
This place makes you feel important (even if you are a very unimportant grad student) and then serves you up very important sounding drinks that make you happier and your friends funnier. And that my friends, is what we want from a bar, isn't it?
Caveat that I have yet to sample the food at Park - but it looks delicious.
Food portions here are a bit 'posh' but flavorful.
Cocktails: very good!! I recommend trying the "Lavender Moon" -delish
Ambiance: romantic
Overal experience: Satisfied
What can I say, Â PARK Restaurant & Bar is a Fine Dining with limited dining space. My advice, not a comfy space for a large crowd.
I went here for my boyfriend's big birthday dinner. The 10 of us sat squashed on the high table behind the bar, near the door. Literally, people kept bumping into us to get to the bar and bathroom.
We tasted...
* From the Starters:
- Crispy Mussles: good, crispy and the dipping sauce paired well
- Lobster and Crab Dip: good & recommend, though the pita chips were super salty and a few were burnt :(
- Crispy Duck Leg: good but swam in a lot of lentils
- Chicken Wings: good
- 2 orders of Tasting of Toast: so tiny, good but ity bitty!!
*From the Entrees:
- Seared Scallops: (fork & knife war was on!)... I'm sorry but 4 pieces of scallops for $23? taste: I was told was good but yearned for more.
- Summer Tomato Risotto: it was gummy, dry and bland.
- Grilled Lamb Belly: good
- Bar Steak was very good. Temperature was spot on and flavorful. Highly recommend.
- Pork Chop was juicy and succulent. Recommend
Best part, didn't get carded, yay! Actually, after a certain hour, a bouncer is stationed outside the door carding new patrons.
Yeah, definitely not a place to go with a big group. Its more for an intimate date night if you're trying to impress someone. Don't come here on an empty stomach.
What a great, cozy spot in Harvard Square for dining on the romantic. Â It's a gorgeous place that has nothing but A's on all its report cards!
Descend down the steps of this basement spot which used to be Red Line, and you're immediately confronted with how undercroft-y it looks. Â For those who aren't aware, the Undercroft was where you spent rainy recess time in nursery school. Â Yes, it's that cozy. Â The bar is much more than a couple seats off to the side - there's a full craft cocktail thing going on at their 18 seat, full-menu longbar. They've got quite the quality menu of drinks happening at Park. Â Ask for a gimlet with a slice of cucumber for an off-menu treat, or order the 1919, which sports a sweet, molasses-y kick of dark rum and Portuguese bitters.
The appetizers here are a delightful problem of "which one do I order!?" The fried crispy mussels are a must-try, with a proper coating of crisp batter around a warm, moist nugget of oceany goodness. Â The salt-and-pepper shrimp boasts a nice fat plate of seasoned, steamed shrimp, with a herby salad and red pepper rings.
The entrees do not disappoint in any way. Â The trout (which I like to call "Colonel Troutman") is HUGE. Â Fresh, super-trouty flavor is not masked with a ton of heavy sauce or over the top seasoning. Â Just the fresh goodness of trout in your snout. A ton of snout for your trout! Bring an appetite.
Be prepared for the lamb belly: It's the treasured, soft-fat underside of the lamb, one diners prize for its soft texture, rich, complex lamb flavor, and a lack of much gaminess. It is not a chop, or a boneless leg: it's a unique texture/flavor trip all its own.
The hanger steak frites is, quite literally, everything you want in a dish of that name. Â Cooked to a perfect rich, red, medium-rare inside with a seasoned, just-gooey sear on the outside, the explosion of big, big flavor here is exactly what you hope for. Â Coupled with a small green salad and a perfect portion of the golden, crisp frites done absolutely perfectly, this is a gold-standard hanger steak frites.
Our server was a smart, well-informed, funny and quick guy whose name eludes me at the moment, but which I will remember in time. Â Suffice it to say, they've got good people on staff here. Â
You can't do a whole lot better than the folks putting out fantastic food at an incredibly reasonable price, in the gorgeous brick undercroft that is Park. Â Get ye some.
Delightfully pleased by PARK. Our reservation took us to a cozy corner with a sofa and two low chairs, making us feel very loungy and relaxed. Bottles of wine were procured, food ordered. The waitress was patient and tolerant of my high maintenance friend (think Sally in When Harry Met Sally). Everyone loved their food. I was particularly over the moon about mine, a beet and goat cheese salad. Sounds simple, but the toasted hazelnuts, citrus, and lemon-curd-like dressing were a delightful surprise.
This was my third visit, and I continue to be impressed by the creativity of their food, the fun drinks, and the lovely atmosphere. One could hole up here during a winter storm and hope never to get out.
I've only been to Park once, so this may be the first of several reviews.
The good:
- Ambiance and decor is nice. Â Relaxed environment and comfy seats. Â
- Drinks: good selection and tasty cocktails. Â
The bad:
- Food was only OK. Â I had the slow roasted beef brisket. Â It was tasty, but very heavy and too salty for my taste. Â My friend had the roasted chicken and also came away thinking that it was just OK.
I'm planning to go back again - it was good enough to give a second shot. It's a new place and probably has a few things to work through before it gets everything right.
Relatively new. Â Good atmosphere, large bar area, and friendly staff. Â In my experience the food is decent -- not bad, but not memorable. Â On the other hands, my friends absolutely swear by the Paddy Melt, which I have not tried. Â
Overall nice job turning this bizarre semi-underground space into a good restaurant.
The thing about PARK is that it comes oh-so-close to meeting my expectations, but somehow always disappoints a little bit. Maybe that's because it's a whole lot of show, but I find the actual substance to be... inconsistent (at best).
The subterranean space is oh-so warm, inviting and classy. High top tables, large sleek bars, cozy leather arm chairs and couches for lounging and moody lighting make this feel like a place where I might want to spend an entire day eating and drinking, probably too much.
And while service is friendly and efficient enough to be entirely unremarkable, the food and drinks fall just short of living up to the expectation created by the atmosphere.
Their drink menu does hit all the right notes with a nicely curated list of classic and specialty cocktails, but the drinks themselves can be inconsistent, even from round to round; wavering between strong and delicious and watered down and insipid.
I have a hard time consistently finding more than one or two choices from their seasonal menus that appeal to me.  If I'm into the main ingredient in an entrée, I'm not wild about the sides it comes with. And on a few recent visits, the food I did order was not what I hoped for. Once the mushroom risotto was much too salty. Another time the patty melt ordered medium rare came out slightly overdone.
Overall, PARK, I'm not sure if it's you or me, but I just don't think we're right for each other.
Really friendly place with great food selection, pricing, and perfectly priced to boot. The food may be a little bit on the pricier side, but both the quality and quantity are greatly justified. The monkfish is tender and sweet, especially when served over a bed of baby Brussel sprouts; the bacon platter is a definite for all pork-lovers; the beets, don't even get me started on how sweet and succulent they were. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that you can't go wrong by coming here with your friends. They also make a mean Old Fashion, btw.
Food: 4 stars
Price: 3 stars
Ambiance: 4 stars (I think I saw sofas and board games in the middle of the restaurant, how awesome is that!?)
Service: 5 stars - I loved our waiter, he was funny, charming, and refilled our water so often I thought it was witchcraft!
Come here for drinks, not dinner. Â Everything I've gotten here as been underwhelming. Â The caesar salad was swimming in dressing. Â The bacon-cheese fries were good, but a little soggy. The side of roasted mushrooms was soaked in oil. Â The chicken was pretty good and enormous - I'll give them that.
Get the Little Prince cocktail, sit in the bar area, but eat dinner elsewhere.
Best restaurant in Harvard Square proper. Situated a bit underground - has a very homey, cozy, dark feel. Big banquets are well suited for groups and the bar area to the left has some very comfy chairs and coaches.
As a bread-alternative, PARK starts you with some delicious cheese and crackers. Food is pretty good - I stick to the Salt and Pepper Shrimp though I haven't heard any complaints about anything else on the menu.
Nice drinks list - this place is pretty much crowded with grad students every night of the week.
All I've had at PARK was scotch. Â That being said, they served it the way it was intended: Â good-sized pour, small glass, 2 BIG ice cubes. Â None of that crushed ice, no crescents, no misshapen amoeba-esque strangeness. Â Just two BIG cubes that delicately chill your drink while slowly melting and mingling with the booze. Â
I don't care if the food is good. Â This is reason enough to go back ....
Russell House and Grafton street are two of my defaults in Harvard Square, and hence I was very disappointed in my experience here.
The atmosphere can be described as interested. We sat on couches. The decor is well done, but that's where the good impression ends.
The food was salty and lukewarm the first visit, and overly the bland the second. There is so much butter in everything, yet no flavor. I've tried the burger, the mushroom risotto, roast chicken, brisket. The chicken was dry, the risotto too salty, and brisket was served cold.
I will not be back anytime soon.
Not awful, but completely forgettable.
First, let me say that the photos on the website are deceiving - meaning, they hired a good photog because the space looks nothing like the site. Â I walked in confused: Â "Are we in the right place?" Â The photos make the environment look warm, inviting, contemporary and bright when, in fact, your first impression is more along the lines of a bar in a dark Bugaboo Creek than a bright, warm spot to sit back and enjoy.
We went hoping for a relaxed environment to introduce some people from our families to one another and we were given a dark, circular corner booth off the bar - which is exactly what I didn't want - bar seating. Â I wanted a proper table with lighting and we ended up with a corner booth adjacent to the door.
The food was even more forgettable - I had the meat pie of the day, which was a mexican-inspired meat pie which was just ground meat, way too much rice and rather bland. Â The meat pie is supposedly the most heralded specialty on the menu and it was sub-par. Â My fiance had the lamb belly and he said that it was fatty, seemingly boiled and was more like "bland belly". Â He did enjoy the brussel sprouts and the Old Fashion cocktail he ordered - but that's about it.
It took a long time to get attention and place orders, also.
Lastly, I do not want to be seated at a 'private, intimate' table where I can watch TV from my seat.
Not recommended.
Staff was great and the food selection was unique. I liked the menu layout and ended up sharing the seasonal cheese plate and getting a clam chowder bowl for an appetizer. The dinner menu put a twist on many traditional dishes.
The beer selection ranged from Pabst in a can to some higher quality options, with a couple on draft that you would not expect.
Overall, the atmosphere was cool, the crowd was young, the food was good, and the service was great.
Since my first review, I've gone back to PARK a few more times. Â Actually--I even went there for my birthday meal with a pretty large group of girls!
The servers are all so sweet and helpful. Â The food is all amaaaazing. Â I've only been disappointed once with the squash salad, but I think that was because the squash could have been cooked a little bit longer. Â They serve a mean Old Fashioned and also have my favorite whiskey on the menu (Jefferson's). Â Love this place! Â Consistently a 4-5 star experience.
Grafton Group restaurants are like Wes Anderson films (not the décor per say, but the restaurants themselves) - you'll know one when you see it. Park is no different (dark shades and revival furniture).  Love the faux living room corner.
Though more playful (and perhaps more casual?) than Russell House Tavern, Park shares the same approach to the menu. Â Well executed American. Granted, it isn't that innovative, nor is it a value choice, but Park isn't trying to be either. Â
Still a winner (particularly the bar). Â No shame in a whimsical play on an old standby.
People who are calling this "the best gastropub in Boston" need to get out more.
Drinks are strong and tasty. Waitstaff is *excessively* polite (they called me "Miss"). Food is delicious and complex (I had the fall squash risotto with apples, bleu cheese, and sage), though with the exception of a few things, not terribly veg-friendly. Atmosphere is casual but nice; even when it's crowded/rowdy you can still hear your date across the table.
Oh the whole, great, but I can't for the life of me figure out why you're so comparatively expensive. Then I remember you're part of the Grafton Group and it all makes sense...
After a few outings to PARK, I have come to learn the ins and outs of the restaurant. Â
First  - doesn't matter what time of day or what day of week it is - this place is ALWAYS busy.  The bar is crammed full every single night.  Not sure why that is, but I can certainly attest to the solid quality of the cocktails so maybe that in and of itself is enough to draw a huge crowd.
Second- the decor is orders of magnitude better than the prior restaurant that was here. Â Same low ceiling, but it looks less shady and more cute and dark now. Â There is a giant, long, re-purposed wood table that can seat 10-12 right in the middle of the small space next to the bar, which makes it a bit obnoxious to navigate around (or to sit at if you're the large party at the table), but it sure is beautiful to look at. Â Tables in the dining area are more spacious and conducive to a leisurely, comfortable dinner.
Third- much like my sweet little Sweet Cheeks, the sides here are more solid and consistent than the entree dishes.
Fourth - come early if you want a meat pie, because they've often sold out before I can get my hands on one.
As I mentioned before, cocktails are expertly crafted and strong as hell, but this place has one heck of a beer selection (draft and bottles) as well.
Hands down, the best thing I have ever had here was the pork belly appetizer. Â They cook their pork belly a bit crispier around the edges than most places, so you're not just getting a full, squishy mouthful of fat. Â The outside is more chewy and caramelized but the dish still leaves room on the inside for the gooey-fatty-ness that is your beloved pork belly. Â Would definitely order again.
Confit Chicken Wings ($9) - Not certain what the glaze is made from, but it's a bit spicy, a lot sticky, and much more than just confit chicken chunks. Â Not a large order for $9 and not a blow-me-away dish, but not a bad crowd pleaser either.
Cider Braised Collard Greens ($6) - because they are cider-braised, these collards are a bit sweeter than the vinegar bite I a mused to, but they are cooked down to a nice texture and do still hold a lot of the bitterness from the greens that well-balances the cider. Â I order this every time I dine here as one of my many sides.
Brussels and bacon ($6) - I normally love brussels in any form, and especially love them well-done and burnt-to-a-crisp, but these come out with bacon, served in a little skillet, and were overdone to the point that the bacon bits turned into hard, black little crunchies that are only vaguely reminiscent of bacon pieces. Â While the brussels themselves were blackened and crispy, maybe throwing in the bacon a little later in the cooking process would solve the issue.
Fries ($4) - crispy but forgettable, i basically only ever order these because I am a fry-fanatic and must have them at every dinner-out (I'm so classy). Â If you're a fry snob, these may not make the grade in your book.
Meat Pie of the Day ($16) - the day I ordered, it was duck confit, bacon, cheese, and butternut squash. Â It was a bit sweet and heavy, very rich. Â Nonetheless, it was packed with flavor. Â I would consider sharing the meat pie and getting a big salad to round out the meal, as this alone is just too rich for one person.
Brisket ($17) - with white bean cassoulet and caramelized veggies. Â The brisket itself fell flat (too fatty despite the fact that it lacked the juicy, brisket flavor) but the white bean cassoulet and caramelized veggies provided a heavy yet balanced mouthful for a cold winter evening. Â Sticks to your ribs, yes, but leave you the appearance of having eaten somewhat healthy...ish? Â The meat left something to be desired, but the rest of the dish was solid.
Grilled Lamb Belly ($19) with quinoa, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts. Â Again, the lamb belly lacked favor despite its encasement in fatty goodness, but the quinoa and veggies saved the dish from boring-ness.
Generally speaking, the sides and accompaniments have always been stronger than the main, meat-based components of the dishes, but I think that fact can be overlooked if you're itching for a heavy-ish comfort-food-y dish of cheap (or near cheap) indulgence. Â This is your place.
So I won a gift certificate to this restaurant after winning a costume contest (<a href="http://communityblog.yelp.com/2012/06/boston-elites-stay-classy-yell-anchorman-aweigh-at-park.html">http://communityblog.yel…</a>), and finally got around to using it last week.
Not-to-miss meal highlights:
~The battered & fried mussels. Â Seriously. Â Yum.
~The sauteed garlicky greens. Â Possibly the best swiss chard I've ever had.
I had the lamb belly, which was delicious, but admittedly a little rich for my taste. Â My friend had the steak and she was nice enough to share a bite - that steak was *excellent*.
The fries were crispy, but only okay - I wished I'd saved room for dessert instead, but I was beyond full with the app, side, and entree. Â My dessert stomach clearly wasn't paying attention!
Our server was great, and even came over to chat me up a bit while things were slow and my friend had disappeared to powder her nose. Â He confided that the cops had come to escort out a rather inebriated fellow. Â I hadn't noticed a thing, and apparently this pretty much never happens - I think he was kind of amused - I was sad to have missed the kerfuffle.
Best part of the night? Â I thought my gift cert was for $75, but I must've remembered wrong, cuz it turns out is was actually for $150! Â Woo! Â Sometimes, kids, it pays to get silly. Â In this case, literally.
Everything here is good. Â The atmosphere, the service, the drinks, and the food-- it is probably the best gastropub in the Square. Â
My favorites:
- Any of their bourbon cocktails: Especially the Fireside Poet which is perfectly adorned with an ice shard, not pathetic cubes that melt away and make your drink watery, a real ice shard.
- Lobster and crab dip: Incredibly rich, cheesy goodness that doesn't skimp on the lobstah. Â Comes with perfectly crispy and recently fried pita chips.
- Monkfish: Â Just amazing, perfectly cook in a delicious sweet sauce.
It's a little expensive. Â Plan to spend at least $10 per cocktail. Â The more substantial dinner items cost at least $20. Â Get here before 8PM on Fridays and Saturdays and you will likely get a good seat in the "library" area of the restaurant, which is much more relaxed and perfect for lounging and catching up with friends. Â Beware that by 9:30PM it gets pretty loud as the undergrads start showing up.
Park took over the old Redline space - perhaps what's most amazing is that this cute, cozy restaurant and lounge was once a somewhat sketchy dance club. They did a great job with the renovations.
The feel is modern and comfortable, romantic in a fun way. The dark wood interior and mixture of long, high tables and comfortable booths makes for plenty of comfortable seating. And the bar area looks like what I'd envision Ron Burgundy's living room to be... you know, with the rich mohagany and leather-bound books. This area was very busy and energetic when I was there. Probably a great spot to meet new people or come hang out for a drink to catch-up with old friends.
Speaking of that, the drink menu is great. Nice variety of interesting cocktails and plenty of beers and seasonal specialties to choose from. Plus.
The host staff was very helpful. Unfortunately I can't say a ton for our waitress, since she was clearly more interested in helping the older (maybe more affluent?) table nearby. She also didn't really seem to want to give us the "tastes" of beer she was helping them with, or to help with recommendations, which I thought was her job? Â Sorry I bothered you by asking...
The cheese spread and crisp crackers that came for the table pre-dinner were alright. The menu selection is interesting, but small. And I was not overly impressed with anyone's entrees. Food-wise I'd rate this a good, not great. But I would love to come back again and try some more of their cocktails.. maybe hang out in that lounge and get some tips from the bartenders.
Bacon three ways. Do it. Also: lamb belly, the Giant Killer cocktail, and basically everything about this place.
My girlfriend & I have been here twice, and will be returning many more times. The first time we went, we liked it so much, after finishing dinner, we shifted to the bar to continue our experience.
I went to PARK last night with a group of friends, and we had a fantastic experience.
Will (one of the bartenders) was making us incredible cocktails - every drink he made was perfectly balanced, beautifully served, and impressively prepared. I have had many great cocktails in Boston and elsewhere, but these were seriously some of the best I've ever had.
He also gave us off-menu recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and every suggestion he made was perfect. My personal favourite was the Last Word - it was the perfect mix of sweet and tart, and deceptively strong.
We will definitely be going back (repeatedly) to visit Will and enjoy his drinks!
