Stillwater wowed me with its dinner menu and outstanding service. I had the pulled pork sandwich on brioche sliced toast. Very filling and flavorful. Then the devil eggs had fresh and fluffy filling with grains of sea salt. The warm and freshly prepared ricotta donuts with dark chocolate sauce were the best I ever had. My picture shows 4, but there were 5 or 6, and they were all sizeable. Servers were on point and super attentive and filled my ice tea and water glasses.
The sweet potato dumplings were good, the rice and beans were average, and the buttermilk chicken was excellent. The drinks were great. My only real complaint is how loud and echoey the dining room was; it has a very industrial vibe and we basically had to yell all of dinner. Overall, the menu had lots of good options and was reasonably priced.
Drinks were really good here (except they put the hot coffee drink in a copper cup when we went there for brunch). My cousin and his wife enjoyed the pancakes and Oh Benny (the restaurant's spin on biscuits and gravy). The Benedict wasn't anything special and arrived a bit cold (the biscuits were hard, like bread that's been microwaved then set out to cool). Four stars is because the staff were so attentive, helpful, and friendly.
The vegan pork rinds were kind of interesting but way too salty. I also thought the texture was more akin to pan crackers; they weren't as substantial as pork rinds.Ragu was really tasty and lamby but the noodles were just a bit overcooked and the focaccia tasted a bit stale.Apple crumble was the most disappointing. Hot enough to burn towards the edges of the cup but the inside parts were very cold.Very good value for a snazzy bar in downtown Boston though.
Overall solid experience at Stillwater, nothing that came out disappointed. If you're looking for some comforting and classic American food near seaport & chinatown, look no further. Got the Brussels sprouts, biscuits, empanadas, and more to start and all were delicious. I got the pappardelle and finished it all. My friends got the pulled pork Mac n cheese, the burger, and salads and they are all good. Also loved their cocktails! Got their version of a hot toddy and the thank you next and both were great!follow me on ig @ sophiaeaaats for more recs!
The food was great and the service was even better. The owner John was so incredibly accommodating to my son who has food allergies. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.
Service was very good. Beers were good. Not everyone offers a Stout. Wings were very good but my chicken chili was just shredded chicken in sauce. It was good but I expected more than just chicken. The biscuits were no big deal.
One of the best brunched 've had in a long time. The wings really left an impression, as did the top notch service from our waitress. I came in with no reservation on a weekened and was sat immediately, theburger and french fries were bomb too.
Amazing! I highly recommend! The Hangover Burger, Rach sandwich and Brussel sprouts were delicious! And you literally can't go wrong with any of their potato options...French fries, tots and chips!
Menu outpaced the actual. Drinks were weak, subpar seasoning of food. my wife did like her burger though. don't feel the need to go back. Service needs improvement.
