Located in the heart of South Boston, Lincoln is a classic American tavern that offers guests a welcoming combination of home-spun, American fare alongside a wide variety of rustic, wood-fire-grilled specialties.Built with the intention of being a comfortable meeting spot for locals looking to share stories at the end of their long day, Lincoln draws inspiration from it’s surrounding, hard-working, and uniquely American neighborhood.Revitalizing a nearly forgotten West Broadway space that at one time housed the area’s only department store, Lincoln feels nostalgic. It’s open-air, tiled-floor cafe, grande bar, and soaring, original tin ceilings remind us of a time when dining halls and supper clubs were a way of life.

Para Maria embodies the heartwarming experiences of making and breaking bread with family and friends. It is not just a place to eat, but also the sound of laughter and conversation floating above a patio at sunset. It's toasting to the weekend with an ice cold margarita after a long day at work. The sweet drip of a melting paleta. The smell of smoked meats and vegetables on the grill and the lingering spice of the perfect bite that draws you back in for more.

    We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

    My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.

    Loved loved the food. Ambiance, drinks, were all very nice, as expected, but everything that came to the table was delicious. I really appreciate the grasp Chef Tatiana has on her food. High-quality, unique, "comfort food" filling. We enjoyed filling our bellies, and will definitely be back!

    Great seaport restaurant attached to a local hotel. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Lively bar area and comfortable seating. Food was reasonably priced, and service was very attentive. Great choice for a cold winter's dinner in the city. Also, great people-watching with parties in festive attire streaming through the lobby.
