Canary Square

Casual upscale bar and restaurant with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Really warm service, we took a high top by the bar, had couple outstanding cocktails, the pineapple daiquiri is worth going back for! The charcuterie board was good but the pork bun that I got was simply out of this world. My husband liked his steak frites and my house made fettuccine with peas and parmesan was decent but a little dry. Would definitely go back.

In a word, sublime. My wife and I lived in JP for several years and without a doubt went to Canary Square more than any other restaurant in the entire city. While some might think that's limiting, I'd counter with "when you know, you know." We lived just down the street so it was of course convenient, but in reality it was so much more: the draft list alone would be worth 5 stars. The food was always incredible, however "small" might think the menu was. (It was also one of the few places that, thankfully, consistently served a black bean burger.) I, personally, didn't think it was any different than most smaller restaurants in the neighborhood or even the whole of the city. The staff were always pleasant in my view, and we always *always* got sat quickly even on busy Friday/Saturday nights, simply because they eventually came to recognize us. Now we live in Pennsylvania but whenever we visit Boston we plan it so that we can leave early enough to get to CS before they close and have dinner. Don't miss out!

The place is beautiful the location fine but the food not as much, went with friends and some of us order fish and chips that had an awful batter, it was just 2 little fish fingers in a huge batter, other friend order Cesar’s salad and they almost give her the lettuce without cutting it, the place was very dark, we had to use the cellphone lights to be able to pay the bill which I think was very expensive taking in consideration that fish and chips are so simple but the way they prepare it is not right. I had higher expectations for them, disappointed.
