The Washington Square Tavern

Really great time having dinner at Washington Tavern! We had X/Zander as our waiter; he was attentive, knowledgable, and friendly. He recommended a couple beers to try and the clam chowder, which was amazing. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I the salmon. There was plenty of fish and the chips were crispy despite their thickness. The salmon skin was delicious and so crispy. It was such a great texture difference when taking a bite of the skin and salmon. The mussels were great as well, no overcooked and the sauce was well balanced. Highly recommend coming here and will be returning!!

Great food! Best burger in Brookline period. Good was on point, drinks were fantastic, bartender amazing!! Loved every second and I highly recommend going. If you want good wine than this is the place to get it.

Amazing Paddy’s day dinner- corned beef and cabbage dinner was best I have ever had. Great crowd of nice people Guinness is top notch - tomorrow is paddy’s day- go here it’s delicious

I ordered the steak and I believe truffle fries the fries Amazing but the steak not so much. This steak had a sauce all on it no flavor at all i quickly had to send it back. My bartender was also Amazing but I truly just wanted a steak last night and was highly disappointed.

This place is awesome! The food is great and the staff are great. In particular, John and Sam at the bar were engaging, kind, and make amazing drinks! We’ll be back.

The best outdoor dining set up I’ve seen in the Boston area! The food was delicious and the portions were great. The duck breast and octopus were particularly tender and scrumptious. Each table is provided with three heaters, so both my girlfriend and I were warm and comfortable (despite it being 15 degrees out). All Covid precautions were taken seriously and we will be back!

Always a good experience here, a very cosy pub atmosphere with a great beer selection. Their food is awesome and is definitely not pub grub! They usually have specials as well, the tuna was fantastic. They have heated outdoor seating as well through the winter with plenty of heaters, we will be back to sit outside!

I'm done eating here. I've been two times prior, and I keep having the same experience of rude waitstaff and hosts. For our most recent visit, it wasn't busy, and the whole ordeal took over 3 hours for our party of 2 to eat. Our server was really disinterested and we were watching her socialize in the service station area as we had our menus closed and waited to order. The host, an older lady, seemed really annoyed when we showed up for our reservation as we appeared to interupt her chatting with another worker. While we waited to be seated, the host socialized with another table, looked around, and then waved us over to sit. The whole vibe of the restaurant is basically that if you aren't buddies with the server or host, they don't care about you. There are better food options in the area with much more hospitable staff. Edited review to a 1 star due to the restaurants response. The restaurant says they fired their staff (what a joke) and there is a difference in training and socializing. What I witnessed was not training so thanks for trying to gaslight about that. This establishment would rather place blame on the patron rather than look internally at the low standards they have for their staff. As I said originally- there are much better places in the area that are worth your time and money. On another note- other reviews also mention the poor service so perhaps this is worth looking into. But, I appreciate the reminder to post about positive experiences in the area at establishments that care about patrons! Thanks!
