    This is about the 4th time my friend and I have celebrated our birthdays by going out to 75 Chestnut. I love this restaurant because it’s festive, but casual. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There were enough vegetarian options. There just weren’t any draft IPA beers available which was disappointing to me. Our server was wonderful. She was so friendly and attentive, and did everything she could to make our dinner perfect. To top it all, the restaurant gave us a special birthday dessert with a candle as a surprise.

    Overall great experience! Food was amazing and came out quick. Our seating location was a little hectic for later on a Thursday night (tight counter seating facing the front windows directly next to the bar) but overall very solid experience!

    This place is a hidden gem in Boston. The ambiance is excellent, fun place to hang out with great food and drinks (not too mention the fact that the cups were really cool - the shark is priceless). I would highly recommend this spot.
