Hamersley's Bistro

Hamersley's Bistro Review

Gordon Hamersley has earned a national reputation, thanks to signature dishes such as the roast chicken, spicy halibut, and souffléed lemon custard. He's one of Boston's great chefs, and is famous for wearing a Red Sox cap instead of his white chef's hat. His place has a full bar with 2 tables for walk-ins, a café area, and a larger dining room that's a little more formal and decorative than the bar and café, though nowhere near as stuffy as it looks. Brunch is served Sunday.

    It is aptly named a bistro; it has the busy, casual sophistication of a Parisian bistro. My meal was wonderful and it stands out as my favorite dining experience in Boston.

    A justifiably well-respected high end restaurant in the South End, best known for its signature roast chicken dish. Excellent food and service, with a surprisingly non-stuffy feel for its price range.
