Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in West End

We loved this restaurant! Visiting from Canada. Here for the marathon. A friend recommended we dine here. I give it 5+ stars. So charming! So fun! So good! We chose the tapas entrees and shared. We ordered a second helping of the ribs. You must! Delicious. Shrimp came with a warm just baked baguette. Ate the whole loaf! Strawberry feta salad was a huge hit. And the beignets! Just as good as the many I’ve eaten in New Orleans! The staff were lovely. It really was a great experience. And we will definitely be back. A shout out to my amazing awesome gorgeous niece who ran the marathon in 3:13:48.

The food and service here is always top notch!! Highly recommended.

We love the oysters at Hourly! There are always new ones to taste and they are so fresh and plump. We tried 3 new ones and one old favorite. I think the best oysters in Cambridge. We tend to eat the raw seafood the most -- tuna tartar, hamachi curd are also excellent. Beyond that, we've had mixed results. I usually love their grilled octopus with papatas bravas with chimmichuri, but last night the octopus was over cooked and tough. I could barely eat it. Service is always speedy and cordial, so that part is always consistent.

This was a truly wonderful experience! We sat outside and the view was amazing and the vibe was awesome! We will be back again !!

Smith & Wollensky has a cool vibe, memorable food and great drinks! The only thing my husband wanted for his birthday was a S&W coffee and cocoa rubbed-burger and a trip to the Boston Tea Party Museum (which is really close to the restaurant). He had been craving this burger for over a year! Last March he had one and felt it was probably the best burger he’s ever had. Hence, his desire for another. He was not disappointed! The angry onions and ancho chili butter combine perfectly with the rub. He also had a chocolate chip skillet cookie for dessert which was delicious! My meal was good but maybe not quite as memorable as his burger. My martini, however, was memorable because it was expertly done. Our server, Arianna was attentive despite it being a busy day and helped make the birthday boy’s celebration special. Thank you Ps - definitely get some bread… you won’t be disappointed!
