Really great time having dinner at Washington Tavern! We had X/Zander as our waiter; he was attentive, knowledgable, and friendly. He recommended a couple beers to try and the clam chowder, which was amazing. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I the salmon. There was plenty of fish and the chips were crispy despite their thickness. The salmon skin was delicious and so crispy. It was such a great texture difference when taking a bite of the skin and salmon. The mussels were great as well, no overcooked and the sauce was well balanced. Highly recommend coming here and will be returning!!

This restaurant is a neighborhood gem! Most importantly, their food is consistently good and offers great value. While many restaurants/bars now focus on offering expensive tapas type bar food, Washington Square Tavern still offers proper dinner entrees. There's always a good variety of choices and kids friendly. Our favorites are the pork chops and fish and chips. Service is friendly and efficient. The interior is a bit dark for our liking but we happily eat there because they do food and drinks well and we leave satiated and don't feel overcharged.

The best outdoor dining set up I’ve seen in the Boston area! The food was delicious and the portions were great. The duck breast and octopus were particularly tender and scrumptious. Each table is provided with three heaters, so both my girlfriend and I were warm and comfortable (despite it being 15 degrees out). All Covid precautions were taken seriously and we will be back!

Always a good experience here, a very cosy pub atmosphere with a great beer selection. Their food is awesome and is definitely not pub grub! They usually have specials as well, the tuna was fantastic. They have heated outdoor seating as well through the winter with plenty of heaters, we will be back to sit outside!
