Eastern Standard serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It caters to hotel guests, locals and Red Sox fans. A popular place to dine before a Red Sox game, Eastern Standard is a popular destination post game as well. Whether you are there for a delicious brasserie experience or saddling up to the bar to enjoy the extensive cocktail list, Eastern Standard does not disappoint. Voted Best of Boston for Group dining as well. Fair warning: can be loud at the bar after the Sox get out!
A real French brasserie is kind of like the equivalent of an American steak house/comfort food joint: croque monsieurs, onion soup, a huge plate of oysters, crabs legs, and other seafood tasties, wash it down with a flute of champagne or a nice glass of belgian ale. It's high minded, delicious, slightly decadent without feeling like you've gorged on a side of creamed spinach.

I went for restaurant week lunch, and had a great experience! Really charming service (cute waiter!), delicious food, and the cocktails were as good as the rumors said--try an au provence (vodka gimlet with tarragon and lime) and the chocolate eclairs. Only downside is the construction outside in Kenmore Square and the steady stream of Sox fans in the area, but definitely worth checking out a few times.

Sometimes street view does not point exactly to the right place. You may need to "drive around" a bit.
