State Street Provisions 255 State Street, Boston, MA 02109

"Stopped for lunch after a brisk 90 minute jaunt through the aquarium. Very kid friendly. Breakfast and lunch served on the kids menu! They were kind enough to stow our stroller out of the way as well. Jewel of the crown was amazing. Spicy chicken sandwich brings some heat. Raw Oysters were prepared very well. No horseradish, though."

"Great restaurant for group dinners, conveniently located in the seaport area. There is a bar, as well as many tables. Was crowded on a Thursday night, but the place was not so loud that you had to shout, which I liked. Our server recommended the baked cod, burger, and pork chop. I tried the baked cod, which was delicious. The cod was cooked perfectly: very soft and seasoned well. The bean purée was smooth and mild but added a depth of flavor. The state street platter was a good appetizer for sharing amongst 3-4 people. I think the seafood could have been a tad fresher, but it was good overall. I also tried the pot de crème. I was surprised (in a good way) by how large the dessert was for the price ($10). The biscotti was very good, and the mousse was rich. I liked that it was a cold dessert, but it was quite heavy for one person. I recommend sharing it. Everyone at the table finished their dish, so I don’t think you can go wrong with anything. Our server was also friendly, and we did not feel rushed. My only complaint is that it was a bit too dark in the restaurant."

"We popped in on New Years Day. Our server Antonio was great. My friend enjoyed both oysters, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the lobster roll (warm) was great but could have used a little more butter. I ordered a short stack of pancakes, they were thin and little dry but tasty with the butter and syrup. Only down side is it was rather chilly inside. We were seated in the far back and it seemed a little crowded."

"We enjoyed several drinks here and a midnight snack after returning from the Ghost Tour. This restaurant is nicely located right at the pickup and drop-off area for the trolley tours. I had the Lobster Bisque and my partner had the Lobster Roll. Both were outstanding. The Bisque was so creamy. I could have licked the bowl if that was at all socially acceptable. Drinks were good. Bar service was… adequate. Maybe they were just tired after a long day. Either way, my date and I had a great time here and I hope to come back sometime!"

"Just the perfect place after hours of activity at the ocean whale watching. The food was awesome and flavorful, with good serving portions. The staffs are nice. Ambience was warm and pleasant. We enjoyed our brunch, just the perfect stop before continuing strolling around the area."
